Brownfield to Fort Worth TX

A long drive today through the Texan desert from Brownfield to Fort Worth. Much like Western Australia, there were long miles between dusty, barely there towns, many of which still had storefronts from their wild west frontier days. It rained lightly all day and my favourite thing was hearing an old Texan saying 'You can put your boots in the oven but that doesn't make them biscuits'. Brilliant!

My one plan was to visit the Spiral Diner in Fort Worth, and ohhhhhh it did not disappoint. The cowboy burger was delicious beyond measure, I haven't had a burger that tasted so good since I went vegetarian - never mind vegan. A small portion by American standards, a small burger with a little portion of pasta on the side, it was the perfect amount. I tried, and failed, to follow it with a lemon cupcake.

Ahh.. food that is good for the soul as well as the belly will leave you satisfied like no other. It is amazing how good food makes you feel so, good and so happy - you couldn't have wiped the smile off my face!
