I’d seen Paula Deen a couple of times on the Food Network, most notably her appearance on Iron Chef America. She has lent her name to Smithfield, which produces the Paula Deen Crunchy Honey Glaze Spiral Ham. For my parents visit this weekend, we tried one of the hams.

I happened to be at Cafe Connections in Newark, OH, when a Newark Advocate reporter was interviewing the owners. The article appeared in Friday’s Advocate. The article focuses on the cafe’s military wall, which does have a nice collection of patches, newspaper articles, and such.
