Horry County Online

We all have our theories as to why the chicken crossed the road. My opinion is, the chicken heard he was on the menu of this weeks Marvin Show. Yes, Marvin Latimer is at it again, showing off his culinary skills with a local favorite: Chicken Bog.  If you have lived in Horry County more than 30 minutes, you have either eaten chicken bog or have been offered a plate of chicken bog. My advice, EAT IT.  Chicken bog is one of those local favorites that  is a simple dish to put together, but very easy to mess up. You could line up plates of chicken bog cooked by different family members, and I could probably tell you who cooked it.  Is there ever a bad chicken bog? Not really.  The real question is, does Marvin know how to cook chicken bog? Watch tonight to find out: WPDE-tv15 at 1:05am.

Are you ready for the 31st Annual Aynor Harvest Hoe-Down? It is right around the corner and will be bigger and better than ever. The parade will kick off at 10am and there are expected to be over a hundred entrants. The Grand Marshall this year is Miss South Carolina Teen,  Caroline Blanton.  She is a Conway resident and will have the best seat in the house as she leads the parade.  The parade will end up beside the Aynor Town Park where there will be Arts & Crafts vendors (over 200 spaces) and LOTS of delicious food.

I asked Allison Best, the event coordinator for the Arts & Crafts what is her favorite food at the Hoe-Down . She said there were LOTS of choices so it would be hard to say. So, I asked what she ate last year. “The Chicken Bog by Jamestown Chefs”.  I have eaten  their chicken bog, and YES you can remember it a year later. IT IS THAT GOOD. Don’t forget to get some. They are cooking for the Aynor Lions Club, so it is for a good cause too.

So, don’t forget to drop by The Little Golden Town of Aynor on September 18,2010. Watch the parade, buy some Arts & Crafts, eat some chicken bog & listen to lots of good music. If you make it until 7:30pm, there is also a street dance with The Coast Runner Band.  Mark your calendar!

This week on The Marvin Show, Marvin Latimer shows us how to make a Cotton Candy Martini and a variety of Japanese dishes. He has 25 minutes to throw together his chosen dishes, and he usually pulls them off within the allotted time.  There have been mishaps in the past, such as giving himself third degree burns and setting the kitchen on fire, But, for the most part, he manages to get the dishes on the plate and make them look like something you would order from a nice restaurant. While watching The Marvin Show, it makes you realize that we really don’t know what happens in the kitchen at our favorite restaurant. If the food comes out looking right, we assume everything is fine in the kitchen. Marvin gives us a peak into the kitchen and entertains us while doing it. Do yourself a favor and watch The Marvin Show. It airs on wpde-tv15 every Saturday night at 1:05am. Also, if you are on Facebook, become a fan of The Marvin Show!

You waited and waited, but still no call? He isn’t at the hospital. He isn’t at work. Maybe he is in jail. Check to see here.  You can search J. Reuben Longs bookings & releases for today, or search other dates. Helpful tip: If you just met this person, you can see if he was a resident of J.Reuben Long in the past with a little search of this website.  Could save time & drama!

Don’t forget to check the school bus schedule, because the stops and time of stop may be different from last year. You can check it online here.  Also, for the other drivers on the road: August 23 is the first day of school, so please drive carefully. There will be children out by the road, as well as slow moving buses. Let’s watch out for the children, because they may not be watching out for us.

The Marvin show airs on WPDE-tv15 every Saturday night at 1:05am. Is it a cooking show? Not really. Marvin calls it a “ghetto cooking show”, but says that he is a cook, not a chef, because chefs don’t have to do the dishes.  There is constant entertainment from the beginning of the show until the end, and Marvin always manages to get the dish on the plate before the show ends. Make sure you tune in Saturday nights at 1:05am on WPDE-tv15 to watch Marvin put together another masterpiece. So, where DOES fatback come from?   Tune in to find out!

Back in 1985, the Coca Cola company decided to change its 99 year old recipe of its flagship product with an entirely new formula. The public balked at the idea and hoarded every bottle of the original Coca-Cola until the last bottle was sold. Finally, with enough complaints, the Coca-Cola Company brought back the original recipe, except for one ingredient. They exchanged the sugar in Coca-Cola for high fructose corn syrup and called the drink Coca Cola Classic.  This is the second ingredient listed on the label of Coca Cola, right behind water, so most folks can tell the difference. The Cokes bottled in Mexico still use sugar as a sweetener, and are sold at lots of stores here in Horry County. If you want to try one, visit   Johnson’s Old Railroad Express  on Highway 501  at 4580 Highway 501 West, between Conway and Aynor.  They are in the cooler beside the other Coca-Cola products, in the green glass bottles. Take one sip and you will remember what a REAL Coca Cola tastes like.

August 23 is the first day of school for Horry County schools. If you have kids in Elementary or Middle school, chances are there is a list of school supplies  that will need to be bought before then.  Sometimes it seems like you are buying supplies for every kid in the school. Chances are, you may be.   Get your school supply list here.   We can all remember needing that protractor at midnight before the next school day, but if you are like me, you don’t want to have to drive to wal-mart to get one that late.  Make sure you check the list so that you will have the supplies your child needs.

It is a proven fact that any food can be made better by deep frying it. This also goes for Twinkies. Marvin is cooking up a batch of deep fried Twinkies this week on The M-A-R-V-I-N Show. Tune into wpde-tv15 at 1:05am Saturday night (actually Sunday morning), as Marvin takes us on an entertaining ride of cooking and discussing important topics such as evolution and Patrick Ewing.  Get a sneak peek here.
