Yesterday's Farmers Market - Today's Restaurant Menu 2013-07-24 - Adair Extension Office, 409 Fairground ST, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. In the tradition of a local custom of local restaurant owners Lemia Laval of The Mustard Seed in Pellyton, KY, was shopping local on Tuesday afternoon at the Adair Farmers Market by the Adair Extension Office for farm fresh produce for the Wednesday menu. Sure enough, the green tomatoes showed up on her What's Cooking menu today, Wednesday, July 24, 2013, on Fried Green Tomato hamburgers. At this time of the year, most locally operated restaurants are using local produce, either with contracts with trusted local suppliers or by shopping as Lemia is doing. One doesn't have to be told that it's local - it's in the flavor. The bag of Squash? Didn't learn the plans for them, but maybe a signature dish at The Mustard Seed, Squash Casserole. Can't wait until Adair County restaurants are advertising Adair County Corn on the Cob. Shouldn't be long. It's in now. The photo, by the way, was taken right before Darrell Bunnell of Coview Farms opened his stand. It appeared that he would sell out quickly. The Farmers Market at Adair Extension Office has three sessions: At 6am-10amCT each Tuesday and Friday and at 3pm-6pmCT each Tuesday afternoon. The Farmers Market on the Square is officially open 8am-12pmCT each Saturday, but does a heavy pre-opening business between 6am and 8amCT. The Mustard Seed will have a neighborhood Farmers Market and crafts market starting Saturday, July 27, 2013. -EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Favorite photos from the past: Travis & Rose Anna, earlier 2013-07-23 - Pellyton, KY - Photo from the collection of Travis Adams. A continuing romance: Travis Adams, was 16 years old when the photo on the left was taken. "I looked a lot like Elvis he quips." That photo was taken in 1951. It would be a few years before he met the Doris Day look alike on the right, Rose Anna Sapp. "She was the prettiest girl I ever saw, and people always told me she was the prettiest girl around. She had beautiful blond hair, the bluest eyes the Creator ever made," he said, and she became Mrs. Travis Adams. They are still together. The romance continues, at their retirement home on Sanders Ridge in Adair County, so close to Casey he's a 606-area code man. Adams is now working on details for the publication of his memoirs. The retired United Methodist Church Minister says that he's done more different things to make a living than anybody he knows. Those who know him can't wait to see the biography in print. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
