The Cabin

  • Grilled Corn on the Cob

    This one is really easy & so delicious. Get your grill up & going around 300-325 degrees. Coat your corn with butter & add your favorite BBQ dry rub. Wrap the corn in aluminum foil. I usually do 3-4 pieces together in the same wrap. Place on the grill to side of the coals, not Read more

  • Love Story

    A lot of people that I meet or know get a kick out of this story, so I wanted to tell you all. My wife was my first girlfriend in the 9th grade back in 1984. We dated for a while, broke up, & got back together one other time before finishing high school. Should Read more

  • Old & Forgotten

    This ole shack/shed is a few miles up the road from our cabin. There are structures like this all over north Mississippi.
