Never Forget 9-11

9-11 A day that shook our nation and still brings shudders to Americans. The United States has been under attack from within and without since then. Today I ask you to just do this: Remember 9-11 on this Friday, September 11. Take a moment to reflect and to focus on what happened on 9-11. Never … Continue reading

Uncle Larry’s fried whiting

Anytime I go anywhere, I am always on the lookout for neat places to eat off the beaten path. I’m no Guy Fieri, but I try.  I found one of those spots in Chattanooga, Tn. this summer.

Clean the small ones first!

Third in a three-part series “Farm to table” is the newest craze in restaurants. But that’s nothing new. Scott Long’s family has been practicing “creek to table” for decades. That’s even better.
