Adair County's connection to NASA, Kenneth Hoagland, worked to help astronauts carry cameras into space so people on earth could see what they saw in outer space. The helmet cameras helped military personnel see in the dark through advanced night-vision technology, and left behind a tangible connection between a local family and one of humanity's greatest adventures. For many years the Glens Fork family just assumed this was some technician, but then they found out it was John Glenn in a photo from uncle Ken. Comments | Permalink Epicurian Kentuckian: Greek Salad

Donna writes, "I made this lovely Greek salad with red and banana peppers, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber fresh from the garden, red onion and Kalamata olives, with olive oil and Balsamic vinegar, and topped with Feta cheese. A few slices of garlic toast made it a perfect, filling meal." Comments | Permalink Scenic Kentucky: Pioneer Playhouse
