I’ve been enjoying a Summer of barbeque–tomato-based, mostly, with a dry rub here and there.  But, I kind of miss the mustard-based BBQ of South Carolina.  And on the even more rare occasion, my thoughts turn to vinegar-based BBQ of North Carolina.  It is a lighter, tangy taste than the heavy, pass-the-antacid variety common to most of the South.  If you go to the opening for this next Call in NC, be sure to try it.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Cape Fear Studios (Fayetteville, NC) for the 19th Annual Nellie Allen Smith National Juried Pottery Competition.  The juror is incredibly talented in her own right, and the entry fee is pretty standard.  Don’t miss this opportunity…
