Eating, eating, and more eating

I have decided a better name for this blog would be 'Eating Our Way Across America'. Here we are in Pennsylvania, Amish Country to be exact. You can't go one city block without finding some delectable thing to eat. I did not care for their Shoo Fly Pie or Whoopie Pies. But I did like the cinnnamon rolls, caramel rolls,peanut butter cookies,custard filled things,the bar-be-que chicken ( the best), and homemade rootbeer.
Rob will blog about how much things have changed in this area since he was here 30 some years ago, but I was surprised at how many tourists came to this area. We were in bumper to bumper traffic all day Saturday which took quaintness right out of the picture. It was a little strange to go into a supposed Amish gift shop and pick up items that said "made in China" on the bottom. ?!?  The best time we had was attending a  several family yard sale (Amish). That's where we had the absolutely best bar-be-qued chicken. I bought a huge beautiful head of cauliflower and some homemade rootbeer. We did drive around on back roads and got a lot of great pictures of covered bridges, old buildings and horse and buggies

Back to the eating subject, right before we came here we went to Hershey, PA. Yes,where all the Hershey chocolate is made. We did the factory tour and of course spent a lot of time in their great shopping area. Corbin, Grace and Elliot, wait until you see what we bought for Christmas!! (If I don't eat it first)
The city of Hershey is so cute with their Hershey Kisses street lights and the street names all so candy oriented.  Had to do it.
