Epicurean Kentuckian: Turkey off the grid 2017-12-25 - Shelby County, KY - Photo by Pen. Turkey off the grid: Pen writes (2011-11-24): 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.

Christmas for the Children of Kabale: Outside the new school 2017-12-24 - Kabale, Uganda - Photo from Billy Joe Fudge. The new building is a sturdy mortared building with a concrete foundation and floor. Much of the old facility has no floor or modern amenities. Notice the chimneys for heat as well as for cooking. Although Kabale is in the tropics, it is 6600 feet above sea level and can become quite cold on occasion. On another note, almost all the window panes had to be replaced. Things are so bad there that someone had stolen all the panes of glass. - Billy Joe Fudge Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
