So glad to have their friend back 2012-09-30 - Edmonton, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. There's not a dog in the world which doesn't know my Mom, Geniece Marcum, as a special friend. Trinket, the little, usually-shy fellow and "Bo," Beauregard, in back, officially "belong" to Mom's grandson, daughter, and son in law but the dogs know who cooks them bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast when she's with them and they come running when she appears. After being with them in Edmonton for a week, she came to spend the day in Columbia Saturday and, out of nowhere, the neighbor horses came up to the fence, knowing she'd have apples and carrots for them, and a neighbor cat came by for a chat and a snack. They have her number for sure, but how they knew she was here before she'd even gotten in the door was beyond me. Just my magic mom. - Linda Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Falafel Sandwich at Shiraz 2012-09-30 - Louisville, KY - Photo by Pen. The falafel "sandwich" at the Shiraz Mediterranean Grill on the corner of Hurstbourne and Shelbyville Road is served open-faced with a generous amount of fresh lettuce, parsley, and tomatoes, with tzatziki sauce on the side. Everything rests on top of a large piece of lavash flatbread in case you want to eat with your hands, but it works equally well as salad.
