We have some favorite restaurants around town, as we’re sure you do. These are the places we return time and time again. They are consistent in quality, friendly in service, and we’re never disappointed. Starving Artist Cafe is one of those restaurants.
We love their friendly, bistro atmosphere, and the [...]

Monday Meals
February 25, 2010
For us, Monday is usually the day we eat out. Okay, we eat out more than that, but Mondays seem to be one day we can count on. Why? We’re tired. Mondays take it out of us. They start the week and we gear up for what’s ahead. But [...]

Have you ever just closed your eyes and wondered what it would be like if you lost your ability to see? If you’re like most adults, you probably haven’t thought about that since you were a child. But there are capable, contributing members of our society who [...]

Stay at Home Dinner
February 11, 2010
It’s Thursday already, and we feel as though the week has just begun. With the ministaffers out of school until today and our driveway iced over – we’ve had no contact with the outside world. That really impacts us getting out and trying new stuff!

Whole Treasures
January 28, 2010
There are a lot of businesses doing a lot of good work in our community. And there are a lot of non-profits needing that help to keep up the good work. That’s why for-profit businesses who give back to our community play such a vital role in making this a [...]

Locally European
January 21, 2010
It’s not often that we get to drive to work with our spouse. Car issues have impaired our mobility this week, and at times we’ve felt trapped in our own little world. But this morning, we decided to enjoy the one car commute and stopped by Terry’s Finer Foods [...]

Buffet Bonanza
January 14, 2010
We are really not the buffet type. If there’s a buffet, we usually just order off the menu. But recently we went to Sunday brunch with friends, and they suggested a visit to FuLin Chinese Restaurant.
Now, we actually, believe it or not, had never been to FuLin’s. So we [...]

Comfort Food
January 7, 2010
Burrrrrrrr. This is about as cold as it has gotten in our years in Arkansas, and it reminds us of points much farther north and east. The remedy for cold is comfort food, and nothing is as comforting as a good, old fashioned beef stew (unless you are a [...]
