Speaking for myself, an Englishman, I forget/ignore that the French and the Spanish had significant interests in North America. Having recently spent time in New Mexico, and Canada, makes it harder to be oblivious. And so, it was fun to find this plaque to La Petite Roche.
And I continue my exposure to Arkansas tomatoes. This is a wonderful BLT at Lost Forty Brewery. It did not go down with out a beverage. Several.
The Rockhound IPA appealed to me by name. The flavor was fine as well. I have learned that Arkansas is reknowned for quartz crystals. I’ll be on the lookout for a souvenir in the wild.
I’m actively exploring options for food and drink in La Petite Roche. Fat Jaws is great soul for lunch and close to work. Fassler Hall had a great brat. I am most pleased with Sticky Fingerz – lowest rent joint of all my dinner choices. And Janelle would have been so pleased with the vibe, the food, and the beverages. For my first visit, I went with the “Almost Famous Quesadilla” and the Banana Pudding.
Through all of this, a respect for the weather is important. Not only is it HOT – it is raining. I’ve never seen horizontal lightening.
