betty robbins: Betty Robbins, Searcy AR, Chicken Cookin' Queen, Still perfect cook! - 07/21/24 08:03 AM

How long since you have seen one of these?
Pineapple upside down cake!!  Isn't it beautiful!  And one of our Searcy AR Chicken Cookin' Queens from 1972 make it yesterday, July 20 2024, and brought it to me!  The mystery is whether they are still as popular as they were so many years ago!  I was absolutely amazed at the beauty!!
Here's the queen back in 1972.
And here's the blog that I did just a few days ago with her as a finalist.

She still reigns supremely!  Thank you, Queen Betty!!

betty robbins: Chicken Cookin' Queens! Searcy AR. No names but winners. Betty Robbins - 07/15/24 12:19 PM

Ladies from Searcy AR
Way back in the 1970s Searcy had a lot of Chicken Cooking Queens.  I loved seeing their newspaper clippings and as I have complained about before, we were lovely ladies but had no names.  We were called by our husband's names in the clippings. 
In the one above, 1973, notice Mrs. Benson Robbins (Betty) who was a finalist.  This blog has come to my attention because she just gave me a gift.  She became the winner in 1978 and she just gave me a little copy of her recipe.  Here it is!
Wonder if she still makes the dish!
Congratulations, Betty, … (6 comments)

betty robbins: Old Hawkins Clinic 1940. The building looks new and lovely. Now a parking lot. - 01/01/14 11:11 PM

We have done The Hawkins Clinic Hospital in Searcy AR several times in our blog.  It was located at the corner of Market Street and Grand Avenue  which is now a Harding University parking lot.  My favorite one was probably the one with two young Searcy girls that we know and love standing beside a convertible.
