Sloth and Gluttony

It could have been a sewing day yesterday, but we spent more time on errands than we thought we would. That was okay. I still got a lot done on my embroidery piece. I've nearly filled the hoop again, and then I'll be more than halfway finished with it.

You might wonder why we spent so much time on errands. It was because we have been on the hunt for our favorite ice cream bars...these Dove Sorbet Bars.

We discovered these while on this trip. They're 150 calories per bar, and so relatively low calorie. By "relatively," I'm contrasting them with the large bowl of ice cream we used to eat before mending our ways. Anyway...we can't always find these, and so we searched multiple stores looking for them. When we found them, we bought two boxes. One can never be to careful. But that wasn't the gluttony part of the day. The gluttony part came in when we went in search of genuine barbecue.

People on Yelp seemed to like this place, and it was close to us. The barbecue places we found on Yelp were all Mom & Pop order-at-the-counter type places.

And it was the real deal with a wood smoker and barbecue going outside in the parking lot.

The man inside was kind of a kick. He was excited to learn we were from Oregon since a former employee had moved there. He keeps in touch with her, and she'd complained that she couldn't find good barbecue in Oregon. Not surprising at all.

Here is a close-up of the menu. Mike an I both ordered the two meats and two sides option...pork and chicken, beans and mac & cheese.

 It was all delicious, and we cleaned our plates.

While we were eating, we got a chuckle out of the funny t-shirts and signs.

We're taking off again today...on our way to Wilmington, North Carolina. We'll be staying there until Sunday when we'll head north to the Outer Banks. In the meantime, Thanksgiving. I'll say more about that in tomorrow's post.
