Oh, wait -- there is no rule book for commenting on blogs!

So I guess I'll go ahead and do this: Hi, I'm Eric Francis, and I'm a freelance writer who has written stories from all over the state and I'd be happy to help you run through your freelance budget and make your readers very happy. You can find my thoroughly inadequate website at DogtownWriter.com, or look me up at Facebook.com/DogtownWriter.

I also recently wrote the forward to a truly fantastic book, "Arkansas Pie," by the immensely talented Kat Robinson. If you're reading (or writing for) this blog, you owe here a debt of gratitude because she started it. If you like pie, or Arkansas, or any combination of the two, you should buy her book. Buy several and make everyone on your Christmas list happy! That's what I'm doing.

So, there's two utterly shameless plugs completely unrelated to this thread. If that bugs you... well, bless your cotton pickin' heart.

Look, folks. I've seen a lot of fantastic work on this blog in the past few months. I've seen a lot of topics touched upon that I would likely not have covered (especially some of the Hillcrest Artisan Meats pieces and anything concerning alcohol) and a few that have been downright brilliant. I drop in when I can to check out things and learn something new.

However, I have also stayed away because of negative comments. I didn't just write about burgers and pies; I covered as much of the state as I could. I got out and did a whole lot of driving and eating that frankly, wasn't required but was decently received outside of Central Arkansas. I populated a good deal of the database the Times has on restaurants in the state with content and photography, and even after I left I have continued to funnel stories to blog contributors. I have even came to the defense of certain blog writers.

I apologize if you felt I was not being appreciative enough of the work Daniel, Michael, Cheree and the rest of the Times staff continue to do, Kevin. I was simply giving an update on what I happen to be doing.

www.tiedyetravels.com -- Tie Dye Travels, which you already know.
www.ArkansasPie.com -- Arkansas Pie, the companion blog for the book.

and, come Thursday:

www.TravelArkansas.com -- Travel Arkansas, the Arkansas blog put together by the Department of Tourism's crack staff of writers and photographers. We'll be accepting guest posts, too.

Noticed Pho Thanh My was empty when I passed by today, but I cannot recall whether they're open on Tuesdays for lunch.

Carry on.

Everyone makes spelling or grammatical errors from time-to-time. I (personally) won't be holding it against you. *shrug*

After me blowing out a tire on Friday afternoon (and my taller half coming to rescue me with spare-puttings-ons and portable compressor), we stopped for some Asian comfort food before going home. We split a pork banh mi and then he tried a bun (vermicelli) bowl in lieu of our normal pho orders.

Unlike your experience, the meat was a bit skimpy. To be sure in the future I will probably just order extra meat, that stuff is so good if I have too much I will just eat it on the side (mmmmm). However, all of the other pieces of the sandwich were excellent, including the bread. Would love to know where they are sourcing those buns (or if they happen to make baking in house? Hmm). The noodle bowl was also very good, according to how fast it disappeared.
