Epicurean Kentuckian: Chicken soft taco at Fiesta Mexico 2017-10-17 - Fiesta Mexico of Columbia, 819 Jamestown St., Columbia KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Most of the time, most of us can almost say, "I'll have the usual," and get one of the great fajitas that Fiesta Mexico serves. But it's good to try something different along the way. This one was a lighter combination, guacamole salad with a soft chicken taco. The chicken was tender and generous, the lettuce was fresh cut, and the salsa, which comes to table with chips, with just a touch of hot sauce always on the table, made a great light lunch. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Robert Ellis: Footbridge over Crocus Creek 2017-10-17 - From KY 704, Cumberland County, KY - Photo by Robert Ellis . Footbridge Over Crocus Creek - A week or so earlier I had taken a pic of this footbridge, so I revisited the scene to check on the fall colors. The colorization of the surrounding trees had changed only a minuscule amount, so I worked on re composing the shot a little and was more pleased with my second attempt. - Robert Ellis.

Silvery entrance to Indiana - takes mind off painless cashectomy 2017-10-17 - Approaching Lincoln Bridge, I-65, Louisville, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com, riding shotgun. Painless for the moment as we passed through oblivious to the notice we'll get in the mail that we owe high dollars - for the use of the bridge and again, for the use of East End Bridge trying to find Shelbyville after leaving Indiana. Next time, we'll confer with our resident bridge crossing expert, nephew Doug Waggener - you may know him only as Sydney, Jade & Garrett's Dad, but he does much more - to see if it is worth getting a deal on the tolls. It works out for him, in his travels for Tri-Fecta Printing of Columbia, KY - which furnishes a lot of printing to the area. But we're waiting for the hammer to fall on the next credit card billing cycle to see how much we paid. But admittedly, Luddite that I am, it was an economical thrill even if we'll need a bank loan to pay off the $8 or so they are going to bill us. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
