Someone else will have to tell us whether the firm's 203 Burkesville Street showroom and lot had been built at the time, or whether they were still in the location just off the square on Campbellsville ST. -CM Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

A Kentucky garden for Easter 2011-04-24 - Old Gradyville RD, Gradyville, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. A flower garden in Kentucky still holds the message of Easter for essayist photographer Sharon Whitehurst, just as it did as a child going on Easter Sunday afternoon walks with her father in Vermont. About the garden above, Sharon Whitehurst writes, "The blue flowers visible in my garden above are salvia, with spice pinks behind them.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Mongolian Steamed Dumplings 2011-04-24 - Fortune Street kitchen - Photo By Ed Waggener. Neither Ulaanbaatar or Bloomington have anything on the EK Fortune Street kitchen with this delightful lunch of Mongolian Steamed Dumplings, Fried Egg, and and Mongolian Vegetable Soup. The dumplings are made with plain flour which contain clear broth and a meatball made with ground beef and onion seasoned with salt and pepper and are steamed for about 20 minutes. The egg is fried omelet style and cut into strips. The Mongolian beef-vegetable soup is made with ground beef, egg, carrots, celery, cilantro, and onion and seasoned with black pepper and bay leaf. The meal was prepared by Davaajargal Dorjsuren, an MBA student at Campbellsville University, who served Flan from Yuli & Mago in Columbia - a dessert very similar to one she's used to in Mongolia. Eastery and as delicious as it looks. -Ed Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
