Epicurean Kentuckian: Fusion Five-minute meal 2014-06-26 - Photo by Pen. Soybeans grow easily all over Kentucky, but these are marketed by Kroger as Mukimame, in the Japanese style, and grown who-knows-where. However, they make the trip from freezer to table in about 5 minutes, and pair really well with lots of salads and pastas, either hot or cold. Here, soybeans are dressed with lemon and olive oil, Mediterranean-style, with lots of fresh herbs and a healthy topping of feta cheese, for a cool yet hearty summer dinner.

Closer view of purloined-with-permission tiller 2014-06-26 - Cool Springs Creek, Gradyville, KY - Photo by Guy Babin. When Jim Whitehurst's prized super duper tiller is returned busloads of Canadian Tourists may drive by and see only the shovel & pitchfork, and marvel at the industry of the primitive natives, who are able, through pure sweat, perserverance, and intuitive ingenility, transform a large plot into garden spot - never realizing that it was done with a marvel of the Industrial Age. Native and Born Again Adair Countians will realize it's the Gradyville Way - good neighbors, the good Lord, and the County Agent and eager newcomers working together in a little piece of Adair County paradise. But even though all chapters of Hezekiah clearly proscribe the sin of coveting, Guy Babin confesses: "I am quite sure Jim Whitehurst's fancy tillin' mo-chine matches my old IH 424 much better than either of his beloved Masseys - just sayin' . . .

Portrait of the Young Artist in search of a canvas 2014-06-26 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Granddad. Hailey was here and left her mark. She's in her chalk phase now. Her Mema always has a good stock of paper and Crayolas for indoor art, for inspirational occasions outside, when its not convenient for oils and easels, there's chalk. Almost nothing is off limits. Watching her, it was a reminder of how parents, 50 years ago, required written permission for a kid to even make a hopscotch court on the sidewalk (a No or Low Budget, homemade, make do family parks & rec program, by the way.). Even later, some parents allowed children's artistic impulses to soar indulgently but all to temporarily, as they quickly brushed, scrubbed, or painted away the evidence. But as grandparents, every chalk stroke is a treasure, a too fleeting memory, that a grandchild was here, a mental click to remember more - and each piece of art is protected like a fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, as we're protecting Hailey's art days after she left. - GRANDDAD.
