Clifford was a great companion. He was feet above the rest. A site to behold from California to Alabama.
He would take long journeys in silence just to spend time with you. He could help you with bumpy trials in your life. Clifford brought my wife to me over mountains and dessert. He was her protector, confidant, pal, and companion.
He was greatly envied by Surfers, Hunters, wanna-be rappers (...ridin' on 33's) for his commanding presence and sheer elegance among the newer and more popular crowd...
But as 'they' say, 'nothing lasts forever' and Clifford has moved on from our lives, we shall greatly miss him and maybe even feel guilty for 'selling him out'...but he has a better home now, someone who will take care of him...someone who will make him feel useful during this long time we will be away with no promise of returning.
Clifford, we will miss you dear friend!

Korea House - Huntsville Alabama
I have been going to this little house's Korean lunch buffet for years...When my friend Will (half Korean) moved to Huntsville it became more of a weekly tradition when I was living there.
Awesome Korean food, if you have someone like Will with you he knows how to ask for 'specialty' things other people would never know to ask for! And you can order off the menu, I think...Because I have never really ordered off the menu but I have seen others eating shabu shabu (hot pot) style and also Be Bim Bop and other well known favorites.
The Restaurant is indeed a repainted old house and it is not fancy or modern, the buffet is a tight little 'L' format not far from the front door...but the food is excellent and prices are low. This restaurant used to be on my route when I first started working for Budweiser, the kitchen was always clean and always run by Korean women, no men.
Another good tip-off that this was at least good at minimum was every time I have been there the customers were 50-70% Korean.
If you are looking for a new, modern, fancy high cost restaurant to impress your friends or your self, THIS IS NOT IT. If you are looking for great Korean food and a weekly to bi-weekly lunch tradition...this is the place to meet and eat!
* TIP - they say that Tuesday is 'spicy and juicy ribs' on the buffet...can't verify that one because I last ate there on a Friday right after Thanksgiving (last month). But I have ate the ribs(riblets), and they are delicious, so they have been on the lunch buffet before.

Free Album - Christian Rap...it CAN be good!
(Tyrone posting) Believe it or not, I grew up with rap...but now that I don't care for the nasty, bling, selfish role of most of the music today I tend to look towards the Christian music scene for better music, but sometimes it falls so short in the Rap category, or the sound feels like it's still stuck in the past, BUT THIS ONE? I liked almost every song AND it's free!

Feasting on Asphalt - Thanksgiving Edition (wrap-up)
Although our road trip did not end till further down the line, I want to wrap it up in Little Rock Arkansas. I don't want to bore you by drawing this out to long...
Continuing on down Interstate 30 looking to meet up with 40 (in Little Rock) we took the President Bill Clinton exit to downtown where there are shops, markets, and restaurants galore...and for some reason everything is 'flying'. Like the flying hot dog, the flying buffalo wing, things of that nature...whats with the flying?
Well anyway...we ate at the (yes you guessed it) Flying Fish Restaurant!
Stephanie and I had a fabulous grilled grouper po'boy sandwich with fried calamari and pickled green tomatoes. NO, the pickled green tomatoes were not good, they start out being OK for a new taste, but it leans more towards being a watery sugared green tomato, than a pickle tasting pickled green tomato. The calamari was excellent, but some of you would be surprised that it was breaded with seasoned cornmeal not flour. The dipping sauce for the calamari was good & different, but if you don't like heinz 57 sauce then I would not suggest using it, thats what the 'base' flavor tasted like to me.
Very good food, no frills, order food, wait, pick it up, seat yourself...you get the picture. But the restaurant is fun and entertaining. Lots of things to read and see hanging up on the walls.
I took a few pictures but since my posts are more about experiences and letting YOU know about them I would suggest the following website for more pictures and detail: http://www.galenfrysinger.com/little_rock_flying_fish.htm
Although you may look at my album which has more pictures of the different places we were at during this time. Oh, almost forgot...make sure you check out the Billy Bass Adoption Center at the above link, fascinating...

Emeril Lagasse gets kicked down a notch...
Food Network to Cease Production of Emeril Lagasse's 'Emeril Live'
NEW YORK — Food Network is kicking Emeril Lagasse down a notch.
The celebrity chef's "Emeril Live," which has been on the air for 10 years, will cease production Dec. 11, Food Network publicist Carrie Welch told The Associated Press.
"However, Emeril is under contract with Food Network," Welch said Tuesday. "We love him, we support him and look forward to a long partnership with him."
Welch wouldn't comment on Lagasse's contract.
Asked why the show was canceled, she told the AP: "The only reason would be that it hit a ton of television milestones and, you know, all good things come to an end."
The Food Network will continue producing Lagasse's "The Essence of Emeril," and he will take part in "specials and other development opportunities in the future," Welch said.
The network will also air reruns of "Emeril Live."
