Reelfoot Lake and "Home Cookin'!"

OK, we were told that this was "home cookin' " which I now know is code for: "everything is fried food." We ordered 2 simple dishes and they came back with 6 plates full of fried fat--fried frog legs, fried oysters, fried fish, fried chicken, fried catfish, onion rings, fries, biscuits, and "hush puppies" (which are fried something.) It was literally a Bill Clinton meal (when he was in office) . Then, at the counter, they had king sized Snicker bars to go!!!



We went on a sunset tour of Reelfoot Lake yesterday. This is the site of the biggest earthquake of the Northern Hemisphere (back in the 1800s.) During this earthquake was that the Mississippi River floated backwards for 20 minutes and the result was this lake! The roots of cypress trees are visible ....it was very beautiful and interesting.
