    How to search for restaurants near the path of a road-trip?

    I've tried doing the google thing. The thing is that it is a 1000 mile trip (more or less) and I don't want to google every town along that path. A GPS would be perfect but we're not really in the market for that. We don't travel much and don't drive much outside of our regular home-work...

    Crispy orange chicken help?

    I followed Yakuta's recipe tonight and the results were delicious. It is the best chinese recipe that I've ever made at home. My attempts at chinese usually come out mediocre. My family did complain that it was too spicy but I thought it was perfect. I'll leave out the hot sauce next time...

    I roasted a whole chicken a few weeks ago (beer can method). it came out smokey and delicous but it got me to thinking about the economics of whole chickens. Based on my estimate of how much meat I got off the whole chicken it doesn't seem that much more economical than buying boneless...
