Epicurean Kentuckian: Roasted Zucchini Salad 2013-02-27 - Photo by Pen. Salad is not usually on top of winter menus, but adding warm vegetables can be just the ticket. Garlic and olive oil turn zucchini into welcoming comfort food, and sauteing with red pepper and oregano, they make for hearty and healthy fare on top of any fresh greens. Salty Feta cheese plays really well with the sweet sauteed red peppers. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

In the meantime, the Mystery Picture fans are asked to send us the Street & Number and the town of the current location. A hint: it's in the center of the universe in the 7 county CM primary coverage area including Taylor, Russell, Metcalfe, Green, Cumberland, Casey, and Adair Counties, KY. Later today, but no earlier than 10amCT, we'll post the information which goes with it. And, to level the playing field, we don't know anyway in the world Ofc. Josh Brockman of the Columbia Police Department can use his detective skills to track down my whereabouts or anybody else's to pinpoint the location, though, ironically, there is a clue in that message for everybody. Laying on Al Jolsons side, as the late Steve Aaron was wont to say, we aren't expecting the real answer anytime soon.
