Almost every Saturday, Mud Camp, Cumberland, KY knifemaker Stevie Butler, is at Farmers Market on the Square, showcasing the products of Barn Yard Knives, "Custom Designed Blades" an affordable line of cutlery he makes with some really nifty Genuine Antler or Custom Hardwood handles, blades made from bandsaw steel, most with sheaths handsewn from Amish leather he buys from a nearby vendor. He staged this photo testing the edge for sharpness, very carefully, on Saturday, July 21, 2018, at one of the most successful markets. He's a retired employee of Tyson Bearing in Glasgow, KY, who turned his hobby into a successful retirement business. - EW Comments | Permalink

Epicurean Kentuckian: Tillie's food news, summer 2018
2018-07-23 - Louisville, KY - Photo from family collection
Seven-year-old granddaughter Matilda Anne is proud of her home gardening this summer. She's also enjoyed travels and foods in different places. She told me that she'd recently had a good trip that included her discovery of a love of "chicken and dumplings." Tillie said she liked the dumplings and the creaminess of the chicken in gravy. I shared with her my own lifetime love of the dish and suggested she might want to try blackberry dumplings, too, first discovered in a potluck dish brought to an event by Thelma Hatcher, I think. At the time, it was news to me that you could do anything other than chicken with dumplings, but I was sold the moment I tasted them with blackberries. Tillie confirmed that she does love blackberries and said, "Hmmm, I might just give that a try." - Linda Waggener Comments | Permalink
