Pork Butt

It isn’t very often I don’t feel like cooking outside, especially when it comes to meat, such as ribs, steak, pork butts or chops. The smoke flavor and the satisfaction of cooking over a grill or smoker is unmatched. However, sometimes we, as mothers and wives have those Saturdays we had rather nap with the kids, do laundry, or catch up on house hold chores we have ignored for months. So, this past Saturday, was one of those for me. A while back, I scored an amazing blue speckled vintage roaster with the lid. I can’t remember exactly where, but it may have been The Store, downtown main street here in Hampton. 05/02/2024 04:00 AM

Maybe It’s Time For Someone Else

Maybe It’s Time For Someone Else

When you’re too old? When you can’t do the job? When you no longer care? When your decisions are questionable? When it’s no longer enjoyable? When your passion is gone? When nobody cares? When it costs too much? Sometimes it’s your choice, and sometimes it’s not. 04/25/2024 04:00 AM

Time to EXPLORE

Time to EXPLORE

Arkansas is known as the Natural State for a reason. It’s a world-class destination for all who love to bike, rock climb, hunt, fish, hike, and more. Outdoor recreation is more than just a pastime here; it’s part of our heritage. As an Arkansan, my profound love for our lands and outdoor recreation has been foundational in my role as Chairman of the Natural Resources Committee. 04/18/2024 04:00 AM
