Mike Watson captures magic of winter ice scene 20 Dec 2016 2016-12-20 - Liberty Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Mike Watson. This is a photo taken about 9:30 this morning of a grove across Highway 206 from Burton Auction Service. The casing of ice on trees was beautifully highlighted on those occasions when "old Sol" peeked through the clouds. There were many more spectacular vistas, but I felt it best not to stop the seasonal traffic! - MIKE WATSON Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckian: (Con)Fusion-ed Indian/Harlem chicken/waffles 2016-12-20 - EK Kitchen - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). It may not be ready to be the basis for a chain of Indian Chicken & Waffles restaurants, but last night's supper was good enough to try for breakfast soon. Fun thing was, it was created with store bought frozen waffles, left over store bought chicken, fresh brought on celery, Gala apples, imported brought on grapes, brought on California (so at least close to America) Cuties oranges, etc., so it breaks all a lot of rules for locavores and food snobs. The experimental home mixed curry & sugar free syrup was kind of home-kitchen based. It was made in less than the max 19 minutes and it was delicious. Best thing, it saved a high dollar trip to one of the closest two Indian restaurant's food in Creston, Casey County, KY, where it can cost around $10-12 dollars or more for full dinners for two, and they usually sneak only one or two authentic Indian dishes on the hot bar. Course, we miss the scenery on the way and back. Advice is welcome. Just don't tell Yum! Brands about it. Don't want any chain types stealing the idea. This is for South Central Kentucky entrepreneurs. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
