Thanksgiving week is already here. It’s amazing how quickly the time passes when you’re on vacation. We decided that we had better get some Thanksgiving shopping done today so we would have better produce options. So, after another lazy morning, Toni and Clint and I headed into Mountain Home.
Mountain Home is about 20 minutes away from Flippin, and it’s where Clint went to high school and where Toni now works. The town of Flippin has a population of just over 1,000 people, and Mountain Home has one of just over 11,000 people. Mountain Home is really the best option for shopping in this area.
We started with lunch at a local pizza place called Nima’s. Nima’s has actually won an award this year at the International Pizza Challenge. Their pizza ranked #1 in the US for best traditional pizza. The place is no frills. I’m not exaggerating. The tables are covered in plastic tablecloths with a loud print, the pizzas are served to you in a cardboard box (regardless of if you’re eating in or out), the silverware is plastic. If you want a drink, you can get it yourself out of the vending machine in the corner. This includes water. The pizza was good though, and the 3 of us almost finished the entire pie.
After lunch, we picked up some groceries at the Truck Stop, a great organic produce market. They had local farmed mushrooms, so we made up a mushroom cream sauce and served it over baked spaghetti squash for dinner. We also sautéed rainbow chard with sausage so Clint and Gary could have some meat with their dinner. It feels so good to have kitchen access again.
