Epicurean Kentuckian: Sulphur Well cornbread



2016-02-04 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, CM photo.
Geniece Marcum's Sulphur Well cornbread - and everything else - J. D. Harper Circle R style turnips, with soupy blackeyed peas, fresh baby carrots, fresh kale, and sweet white onion, sauerkraut, fresh pineapple and cottage cheese, and iced tea - just plays a supporting and non essential role. At our house, cornbread is the main course, any meal of the day. A one-quarter inch thick, loaf cut in the bottom of a soup dish does more for the dish than ramen noodles. It's also, in Kentucky, a home made breakfast staple, which we like smothered in Red Eye Gravy and Country Ham, which we'd have this and every morning if we had any ham. - CM

Tom Donan sends guess on mystery roadway photo

A note: While the roadway Mr. Donan and Mr. Pierce describe is very similar, it is not the Mystery Photo location. And, if an earlier clue said or appeared to say the Mystery Photo is on a County Road, that was not intended. More likely it is a City Street, but is like a County Road
