Some foodie finds in Wichita
Had to go to Wichita on business and found some great “foodie finds.”

Twenty-seven pounds of tomatoes from the farmers market and a trip update
Channeling Tennessee Ernie Ford now: “27 pounds and what do you get? 6 quarts of tomatoes and and a big mess!”

Eating through a few Midwestern States
We recently got back from a multi-state odyssey. We traveled and ate through many states. We only passed through St. Louis to spend the night on our way to Chicago, but we would love to go back and try some BBQ and blues! Next time, I hope. Right outside our hotel was a City…

More Birmingham
We stumbled upon ArtWalk 2009. I love it when we just happen upon local events like this. We sought out some local restaurants and eateries like J. Clyde’s where we tried Good People beer on tap. We also found “The Original” Pancake House , a great place for a Sunday morning late breakfast. Plan to wait…
