7 Deer Camp Suppers Men Cooked Over Cast Iron for Generations
I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Deer season in November or early December meant a week away from everything ordinary. Men and boys drove north or deep into the hills, set up in a cabin that might or might not have running water, and spent the cold hours from before sunrise until after sunset in a stand or walking a ridge. At the end of the day, someone built the fire back up and got the cast iron hot.

Baking inspires learning through hands-on activities at Alto Park Elementary
Who knew that in addition to being delicious and not very nutritious, cupcakes can actually help students learn reading and arithmetic? Third graders at Alto Park Elementary School put the idea to the test Thursday, as they hosted husband-and-wife owners of Her Sweets Bakery, Shawn and Maria Lawrence, who taught students how to make cupcakes. According to third grade math teacher Kimberly Chan, the cupcake lesson was part of something called Room Transformation. She brought the idea for a themed day from her time at Model Elementary School and started it with Crumbl Cookie at Alto Park Elementary last year. “By allowing the children to have hands on the cupcakes and show them how to bake, it allows us to directly connect reading and arithmetic lessons about a bakery,” Chan said. “The children respond very well to regular lessons following such a hands-on experience.” Her main goal is to make learning fun and to excite her students about learning, she said, and if the screaming and cheering heard in the school was any indicator, the lesson was a huge success. On Wednesday, the elementary school students were brought into the lunchroom and handed cupcakes without any frosting to decorate. Then

Cave Spring Pigout a whole hog success
Cave Spring’s Rolater Park was packed this weekend as barbeque fanatics came to dip their feet in the cool spring water while wowing their tastebuds with barbecue bliss. Hundreds of people enjoyed the live music and barbecue competition as well as the classic car show under the shade of the trees of the park. “It was a perfect day for my first pig out; the weather was brisk in the morning,” City Manager Stephen Walker said. “Huge thanks to the downtown development association for organizing, they did a great job as usual.” The barbecue competition was divided into four categories: Boston butts, brisket, ribs and a “people’s choice award” determined by the votes of visitors. In a close race for Boston butts, Cluckin’ Crazy BBQ’s score of 99 was the winner over Scott’s Smoke Shack, with 93, and Piney BBQ Misfits, which came in third with 79 points. The brisket competition was closer, with Tiger & Bea’s BBQ & Beyond winning with 87 points in a squeaker over Scott’s Smoke Shack’s 86 points. DBCB BBQ came in third place with 75 points. The rib competition wasn’t really a competition, with Cluckin’ Crazy BBQ running away with 99 points over Buzzard
