The dutch oven is the official cooking vessel of Arkansas. I’ve never seen one of these in person, only time I’ve witnessed one in action was on tv, the Food Network I think. Arkansans (or Arkansawyers) take this heritage pretty seriously. What can come out of this big metal pot? Arkansan dishes include corn-bread, baked stuffed wild duck, stewed chicken, candied sweets, and jelly pie. My stomach’s growling just imagining all this.

We're Judy and Shawn. We're designers, we're parents, and we live in New York City.

We're reading the anthology State by State. This week we're reading and thinking about California.
