Taste of Arkansas: Possum Pie
If you’re planning a stop at a roadside café, church potluck, or this month’s Arkansas Pie Festival in Cherokee Village, don’t sleep on the Possum Pie. Much like its namesake, the dessert conceals its true appearance (i.e. “plays possum”) but has a refreshing depth. While not hiding possum meat—as many outside the region have guessed—its fluffy whipped cream topping has three treats underneath it: chocolate pudding, a cream cheese mixture, and a pecan shortbread crust. For those who are less inclined to mention the mischievous marsupial on their menu, it’s known by a number of other names, including Four Layer Delight, The Next Best Thing to Robert Redford, and Chocolate Layer Pie. And, while there’s nothing that says you can’t make it in a pie dish, it’s traditionally made in a 9-x-13 baking pan and served in squares. This rendition, a menu special from The Pizzeria in Little Rock, was set atop a chocolate drizzle for a little something extra.

Purchase a registry gift online and you may even have the option to check a box indicating no thank-you note is required. Does our current way of life make thank-you notes obsolete—or, perhaps, even more valuable?

A Fresh Spin
A Little Rock couple enlists designer Miguel Newberg for a clean and classic kitchen update
When this couple first set foot in their west Little Rock home some 20 years ago, they were looking for inspiration. “We lived in the neighborhood and were planning to remodel our kitchen when a friend who is a Realtor suggested we look at this house to get a few ideas,” the owner says. As it turns out, the kitchen wasn’t the only part of the house they loved. They purchased it and raised their three children there. Now, more than two decades later, they turned to friend and interior designer Miguel Newberg to update the space for their next phase of life. “Never having done a renovation before, I don’t know what I would have done without Miguel,” the owner says.
