Epicurean Kentuckian: Pique Macho 2026-11-07 - Centerville, OH - Photo by Pen. Pique Macho is one of Bolivia's most popular dishes, with regional variations existing throughout the country. Legend has it the name comes from the phrase Piquen si son machos (Eat it if you think you're man enough), either due to hot locoto peppers, large portion sizes, or a combination of both. Wikipedia says, "The dish is an iconic Bolivian dish that combines beef, sausages, french fries or yuca frita (yuca fries), onions, green pepper, tomatoes, and locoto peppers, with the key preparation involving the meat marination with garlic, cumin, and soy sauce; potatoes frying; and the mixture of ingredients in a pan to blend the flavours before serving with a hard-boiled egg." The version above is from Nelly's Taste of Bolivia near Dayton, OH. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Christmas Cactus in full bloom 2026-11-07 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Pam Capozziello. Pam writes, "Showing off my beautiful ice pink Christmas cactus! For some reason this particular plant is totally covered with blooms on every single branch! Perfect light and I water it once a week is all. Grows like a tree up and out rather than hanging down like most cactus. I'm blessed having such luck with this gorgeous Christmas cactus!"

While most sunrises display some sort of array of colors, some really leave you in wonder - such as this one from earlier this week.
