Bottle Tree Bakery is one of our go-to spots. During Covid, the restaurant is only serving baked goods from the door. That didn't stop us from having breakfast there this summer. They have wonderful bagels, brioche, and the best vegetable cream cheese in the world. Another favorite thing for us is Vivian Howard. She had the show "A Chef's Life" on PBS and now has "South by Somewhere" on PBS. On one of the episodes, Vivian visited a family friend who made a cabbage casserole, we now make it regularly (I pre-cook the sliced potatoes in the microwave for a few minutes because her cook time is just not enough for the potatoes). I'm adding two links. On to the BTB Facebook page and one to the "A Chef's Life" video of the cabbage casserole.

It is a Korean restaurant here in Conway. Honestly, I could eat there every week (smile). My favorite dish is the chicken rice bowl with all the vegetables and the fried egg on top. I add the Korean teriyaki sauce mixed with the yum yum sauce. ]]> 2020-09-10 16:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/buckaress/TNLsharingwall/wish/735861806 Every Plate/Home Fresh ddailey1 https://padlet.com/buckaress/TNLsharingwall/wish/736079226 When I was home during the pandemic, we ordered ready to cook meals from Every Plate and Home Fresh. These meal kits are great if you have a small family and if you have the time to prepare the meals. Since I have been driving to Conway everyday, I am not cooking very much. Our favorite restaurants on the weekend are Murrays Catfish (hole in the wall in Hazen) & Ropers (El Paso). Unfortunately, Murrays is only doing take out right now.

Hello Fresh has provided me an outlet for both by not only reviving my love of cooking but likewise providing culinary delights for my entire family (they all show up to eat now). My favorite recipe so far has been an Italian dish that featured a lemon infused chicken, roasted sweet carrots, and couscous. I will have to share some photos- the dishes are all artistically plated as well. ]]> 2020-09-10 18:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/buckaress/TNLsharingwall/wish/736519705 Toad Suck Bucks tammyb8 https://padlet.com/buckaress/TNLsharingwall/wish/736605238
Lawrence and I will be celebrating our 36th anniversary at the end of the month. Our favorite place to eat is of course, anywhere on the beach BUT in Conway, our family loves to celebrate at Toad Suck Bucks. We have gotten to know the owner, Ken, and have a lot of fun out on the river. Playing pool, listening to live music, and the best steaks around make for a great celebration! This photo was my dad's birthday!

I found this recipe this summer. It is great if you have kids or grandkids. Get a pot of water and bring it to a boil (the size of the pot depends on the number of omelets you plan to cook. Set aside your ingredients for the omelet (ham, onions, cheese, bacon, peppers, etc.) Give everyone a ziplock freezer bag. Have them write their name on the bag with a permanent marker. Break 2 eggs into the bag and let them smoosh them up really well. Then have them add the ingredients they want in their omelet to the bag. Seal the bag and push as much air as possible out of the bag as you seal it. Check the seal and drop the bag into the boiling water. Boil for 10 - 13 minutes (depending on the number of omelets). Use tongs to remove omelets from water. Pour contents onto plate and serve.
They are easy, fun, and they taste pretty good. Be sure to season them well. Clean up is so easy!]]> 2020-09-10 22:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/buckaress/TNLsharingwall/wish/737157695 Mad Scientist tljohnson1 https://padlet.com/buckaress/TNLsharingwall/wish/854490073 I do not have a photo, but I went as a mad scientist when I was 10 or 11.

The first Halloween that I remember was when I was around 4 years old. I was going to be Casper. I was so excited to be Casper because I would be able to fly. I was very disappointed when my feet would not leave the ground. hahaha. Sorry, I do not have any pictures. I was the third child!

Green face, hands, neck, hair, I was green from top to bottom. My students loved it, the kindergarten students were afraid of me, and the looks I got as I drove to and from school were priceless. chogan8 https://padlet.com/buckaress/TNLsharingwall/wish/858304541 2020-10-24 18:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/buckaress/TNLsharingwall/wish/858304541 ssuits2 https://padlet.com/buckaress/TNLsharingwall/wish/866105946 My favorite costume growing up, probably 6th grade, was my gypsy outfit. I had flowing skirt, peasant blouse, beaded necklaces, hoop earrings, etc... Not appropriate these days, but for the times it was fun.
