While it may not be found by the untrained eye Miz Victoria's sighting of Woody's styrofoam bear can be faintly discerned by Blue Ribbon Bear Board Members who have secured the difficult-to-obtain credentials to make such findings: Woody's Styrofoam Bear had clumb halfway to the top of a dead bee tree, maybe on a more elemental quest for honey than, as has been surmised, because it is afraid of the new traffic on the Chattanooga Highway or is averse to getting covered in lime dust. The scene is across the Flatwoods/Greater Bliss boundary line(s) Stotts Lane and KY 61 S. (A minor municipal territory dispute has not been resolved). -EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Red Beans and Rice 2012-07-16 - An EK kitchen - Photo by Pen. Red beans and rice. A simple, fast one-dish meal starts with a bed of medium grain white rice and a sparing measure of red beans , joined with sauteed diced and raw diced Vidalia onion, halved cherry tomatoes, with a tiny bit of cilantro; it's delicated seasoned to taste. A dedicated rice cooker comes in handy for this dish; red beans from a can save time and summer time energy costs. Best of all - it's a peasant dish fit for a Vanderbilt.
