Epicurean Kentuckian: Quick Breakfast, FM Fresh + leftovers 2018-09-13 - An EK Kitchen in Kentucky . Maybe it ought to be called Make-do Kentucky International Fusion. International from the Northern European idea that cold meats for breakfast have their own special appeal, and Mexican influence that everything from meats to desserts are better with jalapeno peppers. Other items are a mostly FM-sourced fresh tomato, cucumber, diced tomato, fresh onion, dried onion, and jalapeno breakfast salad with rice vinegar - from a bottle, not a plastic packet - seasoned with sea salt, and black & red ground pepper, and a few cold green beans from Big Black Dog Farm leftover. An homage to Cajun boiler: the microwave re-warmed new potato, with melted butter we hope came from an Adair County dairy farm. The egg was a two minute, one egg omelet influenced by a trip a family member took to Hawaii, and introduced us to the great combination of the simplest egg dish paired with cucumbers, with only vinegar for a condiment. It was quick and a neat nibbling breakfast. Most of all - cheaper. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Tank or Tankette: Cat morphs into menacingly large forms 2018-09-13 - Down on Town Creek, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Even here, this cat citizen of Columbia appears larger than it is. On first sighting, from 30 yards, it appeared to be a large groundhog, then maybe something of an unknown species. Only when downloading a picture series, was it evident the visitor was a beautiful cat, immediately thought to be Mama Cat, a regular feeder. But the personality is different, and there was a collar, which Mama Cat does not have. Fairly or unfairly, the cat has been dubbed "Tank," or if of another gender, "Tankette," whenever "it" honors home with an entertaining visit, or a share of food, if desired. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
