Carol Perkins: A visit to Carol's Kitchen Previous column: Fall Driving Trip, Part 3 By Carol Perkins With too much time on my hands, I have become addicted to cooking shows. Not that I want to dash to the kitchen and whip up each dish, but I make plans to do so one day. The Pioneer Woman is so sweet that even if you don't want to make what she is cooking, you like to be in the room with her. She has been promoting her new book about her family this last week. I also get another dose of Ree on the Holiday Cookie Baking Contest. She's so pleasant to the bakers who often appear never to have made a cookie in their lives. I think I want to be her. One of the other baking shows is more about desserts. I like one of the judges, Nancy Fuller of Farmhouse Rules. She, too, is kind to the contestants when she tells them the bottom of the crust is soggy and needed to bake longer BUT the flavor is delicious. She also is an example of how a larger woman can look like a million dollars. I can brush off more than a few hours with these shows. However, my favorite of all is a lady down in Andalusia, AL whose son-in-law suggested she post how to make her famous biscuits after many locals requested to know how.

Mask wearing in public - the Golden Rule From Joan M. I have been wearing a mask (and limiting my trips, errands and social life) since March when this whole thing went down. I'm not sure how being considerate to others for the common good is now being mocked by some who are calling it "living in fear", but it needs to stop. When I wear a mask over my nose and mouth in public, I want you to know the following: - I'm educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus.

LCDHD: Coronavirus takes life of 48-year-old Russell Co. male LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 11/19/2020 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department We shattered yesterday's new case record! Yesteday we added 191 cases, today 274. We also have a record number of active cases, 1,110. All 10 of our counties remain solidly in the "red-critical" range of community-spread. Unfortunately, the massive exponential growth we warned everyone about is here. All of the complacency, skepticism, and insistence that the gudiance doesn't apply to us or our situation has caught up with us. Unfortunately, and bewilderingly, while many will face this challenge and do what is necessary, some will still cast doubt and resist efforts to slow the spread of this devestating disease. There is hope! It is within our power to impact the spread of COVID-19 before our medical infratructures become overwhelmed. Citizens, commuinty-leaders, church-leaders, let's step-up our game. Please, let's everyone do our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by wearing our face coverings, avoiding crowds (especially in confined spaces), social distancing when around others, increasing our hand hygiene, increasing our general sanitation, and by avoiding the touching of our faces.
