Sticky Fingers


We spent the weekend in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to attend a dance competition that our granddaughter's dance team was a part of.  Saturday's session ended about two in the afternoon.  It was great fun, but we had not eaten since early breakfast, so we were famished.  We went to Sticky Fingers for a late lunch/early dinner.  We had eaten at the Sticky Fingers in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, but this was our first time here.

The staff at Sticky Fingers believe in their food, and  present you with a hand towel instead of a napkin.  Good thinking.





They had some tasty tropical drinks, and a few muddy ones.
We had fried dill pickles as an appetizer. Yummy. 


The barbecue ribs were sticky and delicious.  I can't say they were the best I've ever had, because I have been exposed to Big Bob Gibson's and several other famous barbecue places.  I was a little disappointed in the baked beans.  They were very bland, but all was forgiven when they brought dessert.


 Chocolate lava cake!  What's not to love about this?  After all, it was Valentine's Day.

Sticky Fingers is located at 420 Broad Street in Downtown Chattanooga.  There is another location north of Chattanooga at Hamilton Place Mall off Interstate 75.  Click here for a complete list of their locations across the Southeast.

Holy Smoke Pie

I think it was in the late seventies that I first had Holy Smoke Pie.  It was at a party at Debra Morris Harville's house.  After we ate, Debra had to give the recipe to everyone there.  I came home and made it for my family, and it has been a favorite since then.  I always make it at holiday dinners, because I believe tradition is important.  It has become a favorite of our granddaughters. I've heard it called Chocolate Delight, Four-Layer Chocolate Dessert, and other odd things.  We call it Holy Smoke.  Here is how I make it: Chop us a cup of pecans; set aside. Add a stick of softened butter (NOT margarine) to one cup of self-rising flour. Cut the butter into the flour. Add the chopped pecans, and work it all together. Save two tablespoons of the pecans to sprinkle on top. Pour into a 9" x 12" pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Spread it over the bottom of the pan.  It helps to use your hands (o...

Amish in Stantonville, Tennessee

Last week, my sis and her hub went with us to the Amish community near Stantonville, Tennessee.  It was a beautiful day, and we love driving to new places and finding new treasures.  We enjoy these mini-trips we take together, where we giggle a lot and get caught up on everything.  Also, the squirrels ate all our tomatoes, so we needed to find some to buy. You know the food you are buying is fresh when they bring it from the field while you are standing there waiting for it. Here is part of what we brought home, and it was all delicious. Stantonville is located in McNairy County, Tennessee, northwest of Shiloh National Military Park.

Out of the Dirt: Bragg-ing

Like every reader, I have my favorite writers. There have been so many that have stirred my emotions and made me a part of their world, and I'm thankful for that. The one is love the best, the one I cherish , is Rick Bragg. Yesterday, Rick was in our area. We were privileged to see a newly released documentary about his life called Out of the Dirt . Afterwards, he talked to us about family and roots. His first book, All over but the Shoutin' , was recommended to me years ago. Very early in the book, I was thinking, "Who is this? He is writing about me, about my family." I have never actually met anyone in the book, but they are all my neighbors and kinfolks. His other books are just as well-written. In his book, Writing for the Soul , Christian author Jerry Jenkins had this to say about Rick Bragg: I read other writers and strive to be like them. I read others, like Rick Bragg, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist, and simply surrender, knowing I will ...
