Sunday - Went to Wall -Mart to have a look around. Nrmal supermarket but much bigger than at home with much wider isles and the usual food stuffs but more processed food and less fresh. Purchased some ghluten free breakfast stuff as hotel offerings are typically coffee, dougnuts, waffles, muffins....
I had an invitation from Joe Wilson and his family to come and visit them nr Kansas city. So 1.5hr drive from Sedalina to SE of Kansas city. Curious realy as Kansas City is in Missouri and not Kansas.....apparently state boundaries moved after the city was first constructed..anyway it a border town between MO & KS. Filled the car up with petrol (Gas) en route and cost all of £25 for a full fill up,,, and they are complaining about fuel cost increases here! Arrived 4pm and Joe showed me round his house a lovely place in Springhill KS with a lake, gardens etc. Went to visit a friend of his who was smoking some pork ribs - yum, the best I have ever tasted, just fell of the bone and hickory smoked (well pecan tree smoked and tastes the same). Went to a BBQ/ Nut Roast in the evening with Joes local friends at a lovely out of town house. The speciality 'nut roast' was in fact sweet meats/mountain oysters...yep fried testicles from both calves and turkeys......actually very yummy but as a male you do get a sence of campassion when eating them! looking at some peach orchards today then back to Columbia MO about a 3hr drive this afternoon.
