Hello, foodies…
It’s been an exciting week! Mary and I traveled to Clarksville, Tennessee to (finally!) have lunch with Abbey, the winner of David’s Road Trip Contest. For this year's Road Trip, we asked you to tell us about the local military base in your town and to share a recipe or dish that speaks to your community.
Abbey is an Army wife and her husband is stationed at Fort Campbell but is currently deployed in Afghanistan. Abbey is just a sweetheart…she loves to cook but her passion is baking. And, she watches In the Kitchen with David every Sunday and Wednesday with her two small children. Like so many military wives and husbands, her family is in Dallas, so Abbey is really on her own. But, she’s a tough woman and she spoke so highly of the community of Clarksville and the way the folks there support its soldiers and their families. We had lunch at The Blackhorse Pub—a terrific restaurant right in the heart of Clarksville.
Mary and I both had pizza—hers was gluten-free, of course, and I had a classic pepperoni which was AWESOME…it had garlic butter folded into the crust! GARLIC BUTTER! That did NOT make me mad.
But before our lunch even arrived, our waitress brought a plate of Fried Green Tomatoes to our table. She said, “complements from some folks at the bar.” We thanked the waitress…asked her to send our thanks, and when we went to the bar later to say thanks again, the patron had left without a word. So fried green tomato sender…wherever you are…thank you! Mary, Abbey, and I didn’t let a single slice go to waste.
Abbey’s husband will be home next month and we promise to follow up with them later. In the meantime, I just want to thank all of you—again—who submitted entries for our Road Trip contest and for supporting our military men and women each and every day.
One-Pot Meal month continues on In the Kitchen with David this Sunday and our next recipe has an Asian flair: Sweet and Sour Shrimp and Scallops!

Foodies, John McLemore is here this Sunday with QVC’s Today’s Special Value(R), a Masterbuilt 30" 4-Rack Smoker that comes with a cover, recipes, and accessories. On top of that, he’s also bringing his brand-new healthier-eating cookbook, Dadgum That’s Healthy! & Good. I was honored to write the forward for John’s book and I also contributed a lighter version of my Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. I thought you might like to have the recipe, too.
