We took a little day trip to Marshall, Texas yesterday to visit the red clay pot capital of the multiverse, Marshall Pottery.
It’s probably a good thing we took the smaller vehicle. The heavily discounted pots were such a steal we filled the entire back of the CrV. We ended up with eight enormous pots for tomatoes, eight slightly smaller for herbs, six colorful glazed crocks for the master bathroom, two large black glazed beauties and one frivolous, irresistible fish.
The poor little CrV was packed to the gills.
This post should probably appear over at “Cheesy” since it also concerns food, but what the heck… it was a rolling mini-trip.
Good hamburgers can be found at Jucy's. Along with a great ice cream parlor of Blue Bell delights. The oddity was the free BBQ beans. All you can eat with any sandwich, they were the star of the show. The excellent yet unusual seasoning mix had us both stumped. Tz ate quite a few, in addition to a Blackened Bleu Burger. I had a BLT and couldn’t eat another bite all day.
The onion rings were excellent, the fries…meh.
Marshall is a lovely little town with an enchanting Christmas Lights festival. Drop by some day, even if you don’t need any pots.
Tz practicing his Morse code?
A little known movie, "The Great Debaters" is set at Wiley College, located in Marshall, and is well worth a place on your Netflix queue.

I can see why you couldn't resist the fish! Sounds like you had some great food to fill your tummies even as you filled the back of the CR-V with great pottery buys. One of these days we will get to taste the Blue Bell ice cream ... for now, we'll have do make do with what's available locally.
