Arkansas City, Arkansas Area

April 18, 2024 On April 17, we went to pick up Bruce’s scripts in McGehee, Arkansas. On the way, we made a slight detour to Dermott, Arkansas for BBQ. We stopped in at Dermott BBQ. The BBQ was good, but not as good as Hoots in McGehee. Dermott is a town that has seen better […]

A Couple of Stops Along Hwy 65

April 27, 2024 After our visit to the Louisiana State Cotton Museum, we rode back along Hwy 65 towards the RV. We had passed a sign saying Hot Pepper Sauce, so on our way back, rode down the short gravel road and pulled into the Panola Pepper Company. We were excited and hoping to get […]

April 26, 2024 I have had a couple of falls in the last few days. The first fall was on Monday (April 22). I was getting off of the motorcycle when I slipped. I was fully geared up and I fell on my butt and hands. If I hadn’t been wearing gloves, my hands would’ve […]

And Finally, the Reason We Went to Arkansas, the Total Eclipse of the Sun

April 26, 2024 The day before the solar eclipse (April 7), Bruce and I checked the weather forecast and decided that Hot Springs, Arkansas was still a good place to try to see the total solar eclipse. On Monday (April 8), we got up at 4:00 AM to drive to Hot Springs. We wanted to […]

Cornbread as a Meal

In reading “Ottolenghi Simple: a Cookbook,” I came across a recipe for Cornbread with Chedder, feta, and jalapeños. It sounded delicious and I had most of ingredients on hand. I made a couple of mistakes in making this cornbread, but it still came out wonderfully. My first mistake was not realizing that the thawed frozen […]
