[Sca-cooks] Request of gentles in the SouthWest (OT)

[johnna holloway]

I helped 75 4th graders do state reports last
year. We found bizarre stuff... take a look
at these websites and links---
See: http://www.eccentricamerica.com/websites.htm
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/
http://www.usatourist.com/english/places/arizona/route66.html

You may want to check out Charles Kuralt's On the Road
books if she would like that sort of stuff. Should still
be in a public library collection near you.

For BBQ-- in Texas-- see these titles:
Legends of Texas Barbecue Cookbook:
Recipes and Recollections from the Pit Bosses
by Robb Walsh. new 2002.
Celebrating Barbecue : The Ultimate Guide to
America's Four Regional Styles of Cue
by Dotty Griffith. new 2002.
and the old reliable--
Roadfood: The Coast-to-Coast Guide to 500
of the Best Barbeque Joints, Lobster Shacks,
Ice Cream Parlors, Highway Diners, and Much
More   by Jane and Michael Stern. new ed. 2002.

Hope this helps.
