Epicurean Kentuckian: Off the Grid



2009-12-02 - back yard - Photo by Pen. I awoke on Thanksgiving morning to some cruel math -- there was simply no way to oven roast our partially frozen turkey in time for the scheduled meal. Luckily, I remembered something (probably from years-ago science classes at ACHS) about increasing surface area to decrease cooking time. I consulted the Googles, hastily butterflied the bird, and--since I was already off-the-reservation, culinarily speaking--I headed out to the bbq grill with the halved turkey and a Monroe-County-inspired basting sauce of cider vinegar, honey, salt, sage, thyme and mustard. Three and a half hours later, we had a pretty tasty meal and possibly a new Thanksgiving tradition.

Community Working for Children generating list of supporters

Permission to Use Name form attached. Address for contributions to Community Working for Children/Vote Yes for Our Kids below

By Doyle Lloyd
Asking you to vote "YES" for Our Kids

At Monday night's Community Working for Children meeting it was decided to get a list of supporters that would be willing to have their names listed as being in favor of the nickel tax for the students of Adair County. The goal is to potentially print the list on Columbia Magazine.com and also in the December 10, 2009 issues of the local papers.

I have attached a permission form for those that feel more comfortable having something in writing before publishing their names in a list. If you feel comfortable talking with people in person or on the phone and asking verbal permission to add their names to a list, please do that also.
