Travel Chaotically! ~ On to Delaware and East Windsor, NJ????

Across Maryland to the coast of Delaware!!!  The theme of minimal humans and lots of farm fields continued.  Gradually, the flats gave way to more picturesque rolling hills and we ended up here:

We climbed an overlook tower, took some walks and had a drive around the lake and marshes, seeing lots of ducks, geese, herons, and sandpipers though they were all a bit distant.  On leaving around dusk we saw a fox walking along the dirt road and this guy....

...who had joined a couple of vultures for some fine dining on what appeared to be a deer carcass.  Fancy friends in low places?  

Speaking of dinner! We ended our day at the Holiday Inn in East Windsor, NJ.  Unfortunately, it was nasty, smelling of feet, with a large wet spot on the carpet - discovered just before bed.  Did NOT even want to contemplate the WHAT or WHY????!!!!  But, before all that, we had an incredible Greek dinner at Legends Grille.  An unlikely looking hole in the wall, located at the back of the nearby Days Inn.  (Perhaps we should have stayed there!!!)  It was amazing!  B had roasted egg plant and Tzoutzoukia. The latter being delicious meatballs flavored with cumin. We discovered that the current chef/owner had been trained by the original Greek proprietor and while he knew nothing of Greece or their cuisine, he continued making things as he had been taught.  Having been in Greece a couple of times we were curious about the Tzoutzoukia, never having seen it on a menu there.  Well.  Come to find out, it is actually soutzoukakia - possibly more Turkish than Greek .  Both are a bit of a mish mash one from the other, though you can never refer to that when dealing with either party!!!  We used THIS RECIPE combined with one for Etli Kofte from a Turkish cookbook, Istanbul, by Rebecca Seal, from home, to make our own!  Great thanks to the current and former chefs at Legend's Grille (extra 'e' for flair = theirs, not mine!)!  Who knew???

Heading to New York tomorrow!!! Travel and eat chaotically! ~ les
