Speaking of Beef Jerky...

One of the cool things about driving across the country is getting to eat all the cool food along the way. No, not Cracker Barrel... my two favorite things are side-of-the-road fruit stands and the regional selections of beef jerky at gas stations.

Driving through Lexington, we stopped to visit Brandi and Reuben, and sharp had this totally awesome beef jerky. I made two stops at gas stations before I found that the Shell stations sell this particular brand made in Kentucky. Mike thought I was crazy until we tried it... and quickly regretted only buying 3 bags.

I found that you can buy it online. We got the hot and the spicy cajun and both were really good.

Mmm Beef Jerky

I found this recipe for homemade thai flavored beef jerky. I definately want to try to make this asap.
