The Tightwad Epicurean: The tale of two cities 2012-06-16 - The Flatwoods, Adair Co. District 3, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The High Dollar Difference between Louisville & The FlatwoodsEnjoying my wonderful Tightwad Epicurean Hot Brown this morning, I couldn't help but recall the sad story of poor, poor Miz Victoria from just up the road. Here I was eating this tasty, stick to your ribs and get a day's work done, done-to-order hot brown in The Flat Woods. It came with a tall glass of Ice water and several refills of coffee for a grand total of $3.68, including the obligatory 6% tribute to the Commonwealth. The breakfast was custom made with real sawmill gravy, two thick slices of firm red ripe tomatoes, and two big cathead biscuits - not just sissified, citified toast. Miz Victoria and her buddies, while in Louisville, ordered a Hot Brown at an overpriced high dollar Louisville joint and it cost each of them $27.37 !!! It put me in mind of one of Dr. Oris Aaron's favorite books, "Acres of Diamonds," and how one could go abroad and hunt and hunt for something - and come to find out, it is right in your own backyard. In this case scarcely four miles away, in a place where one can rub elbows with the likes of Jimmy Reliford, Hoss Reeder, Elmo Petty, Bobby Bowe, Junior Stotts, J.C. Lasley, Fred Sexton and even some other stray movers and shakers from over at Gradyville and up from Breeding. And I thought how Miz Victoria may really know her politics and can't be fooled - much - when it comes to styrofoam bears, but she's got a thing or two to learn when it comes to good eating for not much money. There's surely a moral or a country music song in here somewhere. -EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Our Saturday visitor: Eddie Rabbit ready to run again 2012-06-16 - Fortune Street upon Town Creek, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. This little rabbit, who so graciously shares his hospitality with us on the tiny one acre mighty fertile farm we all occupy, rather peaceably together, provided morning entertainment today, but for too short a skit. - Linda Waggener Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Postcard from the Present: Sky marker-From Heaven to Paradise 2012-06-16 - Paradise Lane, Columbia, KY - Photo by Lorene Martens. The Towering Tree so many have noticed from Greensburg Street at the Adair Veterans Memorial Bypass and from the bypass does have a charming coincidencidental significance: It points from Heaven to Paradise on Earth - to Paradise Lane, a secluded residential area off Lampton Lane. Mike Sneed had wondered about the tree, seeing it from afar, searched for it, and found it was on his property. And Lorene Martens, who lives on another street in the neighborhood, shares this and another photo of the tree up close.
