The first Columbia Magazine Epicurean Kentuckian 2025-02-12 - Columbia, KY - Photo from Annette Richards. Columbia Magazine Editor Ed Waggener was known as Eddie to his family and friends growing up. In this 1953 keepsake picture from his sister Annette, it looks like he's happily enjoying the middle of a ripe watermelon, probably in his mother's kitchen on Jamestown Street in Columbia. Seeing that reminded me that in our 48 years of marriage, that's the same way Ed enjoyed ripe tomatoes - cutting it at its roundest for the biggest possible center slice, stacking the remaining halves back together and setting the altered tomato aside. Then he'd place his prime center tomato slice on one of the two slices of white bread, each covered with Miracle Whip, (that was his sandwich rule, it had to have MW equally spread on both slices of bread, not just one slice as my family did in Metcalfe County). He'd artfully place the juicy tomato round on one slice of bread, top it with the other, then gently mash the sandwich together before taking it, and fresh cup of black coffee, back to his writing desk.
