Road Kill
This summer I took a day trip to The Crossroads, Clarksdale, MS because I love music and Robert Johnson. The Crossroads is where Johnson allegedly sold his soul to the devil. Anyway, while I was there I purchased a pre-mixed spice rub called Road Kill at an old fashioned drug store/sundry shop. So tonight's dinner was grilled flank steak skewers marinated with Road Kill and L and P. Back to The Crossroads, I went to a couple of museums and folk art galleries and had lunch at Ground Zero. I finished my trip at a bar next to The Shack Up Inn on an old plantation. Very rustic is too elaborate for what The Shack Up Inn looked like. I am not from the south so I still have very distinct opinions about Mississippi and choose not to go there but I had to go to The Crossroads and am glad I did. I have always thought of Mississippi as some what of a foreign country with a kind of cult atmosphere.

Shanna,
ReplyDeleteI appreciated hearing your Mississippi adventure stories in class. There is value in shaking ourselves outside of our comfort zones. We challenge our limitations, our values, and our truths by walking to the edge of our fears and worldviews. To immerse ourselves into ideas and experiences that challenge our realities is to expand our notions of the possible.
