Epicurean Kentuckian: Turkey off the Grid 2011-11-24 - EK Backyard Kitchen - Photo by Pen. Turkey off the grid: Pen writes: I awoke on Thanksgiving morning to some cruel math -- there was simply no way to oven roast our partially frozen turkey in time for the scheduled meal. Luckily, I remembered something (probably from years-ago science classes at ACHS) about increasing surface area to decrease cooking time. I consulted the Googles, hastily butterflied the bird, and--since I was already off-the-reservation, culinarily speaking--I headed out to the bbq grill with the halved turkey and a Monroe-County-inspired basting sauce of cider vinegar, honey, salt, sage, thyme and mustard. Three and a half hours later, we had a pretty tasty meal and possibly a new Thanksgiving tradition. First Posted in Epicurean Kentuckian following Thanksgiving 2009. It's a tip which could come in handy today.) Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Broken rule Left-over Turkey Sandwich 2011-11-24 - Fortune Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Okay, here's the infraction, first: Pen says it is wrong to prepare food to be used in leftover dishes even when you'd rather have the Turkey Hash than the Turkey, when you'd rather have fritattas made with the left-over spaghetti than the original spaghetti itself. This leftover turkey sandwich was made before the turkey was eaten as a meal. He may be right, but inspired by visits and samplings of the creative fare at Cafe on the Square, Buffalo Hills, and Annie Ruby's, and hungry for a late night sandwich, I accidentally came across a sandwich I'll fix again. It's a Turkey Breast with Joe Coffey Kale on whole wheat bread, with slatherings of Miracle Whip and paparika. Out of respect for my adopted county and the most wonderful Mother-in-Law in the world - I miss her to this day - I put the mayo on both slices of bread, a very un Sulphur Wellian technique. There was a bonus. Two thirds of the way through his third sandwich, my husband said, "Wasabi." He said the sandwich had transported him back to the Asian Buffet in Campbellsville, where self-inflicted apoplectic measures of Wasabi on sushi send one into temporary flights of euphoria. Yes, the Joe Coffey Grown in Montpelier on the Hilltop Overlooking All of the World Kale, added that wonderful flavor of Wasabi. And Wikipedia even confirms that Wasabi heat is more mustardy than hot pepperish. Wasabi. Homegrown. Better for you and better tasting than brought on Iceberg filler lettuce, and the measured delivery of endorphins the way God intended them. Oldest son rules or no, it was a great discovery. Unfortunately, my first husband Ed went into a manic stage, he's the walking embodiment of the Great American Pie Factory philosophy. He sees commercial applications for everything, and is now envisioning vast fields of greens, great teams of harvesters, a canning factory where Kale is ground to a paste, secret ingredients are added, it's put in a toothpaste tube, and maybe an Ol' Joe's label on a container of Adair County Wasabi, to be carried in everyone's pocket the way Dan Rather packed Tabasco sauce or Bruce Wilson carries "Slap Yo Mama" seasoning everywhere.

WWII Honor Board still hangs in Historic Adair Co. Courthouse 2011-11-24 - 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Mike Watson. Mike Watson writes: "The Veterans Honor Board is still hanging in the same place in the Courthouse hallway. It is a large, oak frame with two glass doors. Names of Adair County World War II men and women are in white letters on a black felt background. The photo does not really do justice, but was the only one I have showing the entire board." - MW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
