elvis drives a Scion XB

today was a pretty sweet day off. no cooking (sometimes its good to get out of the kitchen), but definitely a culinary adventure nonetheless. actually, it was just an adventure in general.

a small group of us went to the sanford flea world, to go exploring and see elvis. yes. elvis. i'll spare you a full recap, but the highlight was elvis getting visibly pissed that a group of mentally handicapped were stealing the show with their dancing.



first thing on the agenda before elvis though; was food....A word to the wise: carnival/fair food is great at the carnival/fair. at flea world - not so much. couldashouldawoulda gone with the gi-normous (and kinda phallic) hand dipped corndogs. oh well.



after a full day of getting lost in the labryinthine complex someone suggested Uncle Jones' BBQ. Their slogan is "None Mo' Bettah", and maybe my texan roots make me a bit of a bbq snob - but i've had way better. their pulled pork was weakweakweak. although the braised pork in white gravy was pretty intense, i still think even places like Sonny's do it better.





tommorow will conclude my weekend. i'm craving mofungo. i think a trip to my favourite box truck Piñones en Orlando is in order.
