ABCTE staff spend most of their time out in the states we serve. The knowledge that comes from a life on the education road will hopefully be beneficial to all who work so hard to find excellent teachers for their classrooms. For a change, this blog will be full of practical solutions that you can use. Enjoy and visit us at abcte.org
We went to D’Arcy’s Pint last night in Springfield Illinois for a “horseshoe” - according to Wikipedia this sandwich originated in Springfield.It consists of a piece of Texas toast, covered with meat, then covered with French fries and topped with a secret cheese sauce.D’Arcy’s claims to have the best – and we were not disappointed.It certainly is not for the weak of heart as a heart attack cannot be far behind –but the fries were thin, wavy and crispy and the cheese was like some of the best queso I have had.I got a small and could only eat about 2/3 thirds of it.I don’t know how anyone could eat a large.But it was worth it. Now back to the gym to work off the fat. It comes in at number 12 and Springfield is the 31st state capital I have visited with ABCTE.
