Looks to be about a 65 mile detour.
Somewhere around that. I had already driven over 700m that weekend, so an extra 60 miles one way wasn't terrible, but the 2 hrs was a drag by the time we got home.

That and the heartburn from the spicy Mexican food ;)
I've never had heartburn/indigestion more than once or thrice in my life that I remember, and those times, it wasn't from Mexican food.
Cheap whiskey.

But I'm not worried much. Besides, it's that 7th french fry that's gonna kill ya.

Just finished morning chores, have my big ol' mug of tea, and visiting my online family before I have to head out for the 45 mile drive to the feed store for goat pellets and chicken feed. The debate raging in my brain now is...

Do I drive the additional 80 miles to get a decent Philly cheese steak sub w/xtra cheese, mushrooms and onions :drool :rolleyes: The only time I would get out that way is if I'm headed over to the airport, and that "might" happen once or twice a year and not anytime soon. This is the closest I'll get about once a month when I make my feed run. Is it worth the extra 2.5 hours of driving :confused:, the cost of gas (which has dropped below 2 bucks a gallon here! :yesss:), dealing with the traffic going through Dallas :barnie, etc...

I'll let y'all know the outcome ;)
Extra extra cheeeese..... I'd walk a mile for a good Philly :D I had a wrasslin' match with a lattice apple pie yesterday--it was delicious but it looked like I beat it with a hanger before I baked it. So much going on yesterday, it got too cold, too dry and the strips kept falling apart. Nobody but me complained and it's gone ROFL

I have the makings for a blueberry pie but I don't want to make another lattice. Do you have any cool ideas?

Make a blueberry buckle. Pour blueberries in a dish. In another dish, melt 1 stick of butter, add 1/2 cup of sugar or more to taste. Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 or more cups oatmeal to make a crumbly mixture. Spread over blueberries and bake. It goes together real fast, real easy and everyone will scarf it up. Much easier than a pie!
