SALT OF THE EARTH APPALACHIAN CUISINE ENJOYS RENAISSANCE - P7
“Is it any wonder that salt came to define many of the core foods of the region? Lip-puckering country ham and salt-cured pork. Sour corn and pickle beans. Melon served always with a sprinkle of salt. The ubiquitous cheese Nabs in the glove box that no mountain trucker leaves home without. Salty slowsimmered kale and pinto beans.” —Ronni Lundy, Victuals

From The Horse’s Mouth BY KRISTINA ROSEN Storytelling is the oldest form of teaching and everyone has a story to share. As an avid listener to storytelling radio programs like Moth Radio and This American Life, Jenny Rice, a professor in University of Kentucky’s WRD program, understands the power in telling stories. After years of watching Lexington grow and waiting for someone to bring the idea to the community, she decided it was time to help initiate a storytelling movement. “Lexington is small enough for people to be familiar with others and a part of the community, but it’s big enough for different types of people to come and offer their story,” Rice explained. The Horse’s Mouth Storytelling Nights is a monthly event that will bring the community together to hear ordinary people tell true stories. Some stories may be emotional, funny, or weird, but they will always be true. Rice finds the most touching stories to be the ones that are honest, but not often shared. While listening to a recent episode of This
The Parachute Factory at 720 Bryan Street will host the first Horse’s Mouth Storytelling Night Sept. 25. American Life, she heard a story about a misfit teenager who was obsessed with science fiction books and one writer in particular. One day, the boy set out with all the money he had and drove across the country to meet this writer. The boy showed up at this man’s house, stayed for a few days, and then returned home. Though it wasn’t a climatic story, Rice found it empowering to
listen to someone retell a part of their childhood that was kept secret. “Exposing who we are and talking about our history validates something about ourselves,” Rice said. “Our experiences make us who we are and people will listen to you if you open up to them.” Rice recognizes the power of connection at work. “It’s comforting to hear a story and know you’re not the only one who feels or thinks that way.” Each monthly gathering will have a different theme and feature six different participants. This brings the chance for anyone who wants to share a story to do so, even those who don’t identify as writers. “I always wonder what interesting stories each person I talk to has.” Rice continues, “Your story may not seem glamorous to you, but it could change someone else’s life. We know things and form ideas of the world through the stories we hear.” The first Horse’s Mouth Storytelling Night will be at The Parachute Factory, Sept. 25. Doors open at 7 p.m. with stories starting at 7:30 p.m.

Uniquely Kentucky A Toast!
How to Celebrate Bourbon Month (with pork)
I
BY TOM YATES t might be hard to remember a time when the Kentucky Bourbon Trail didn’t meander through the Bluegrass connecting local distilleries through common ground or when there was no Kentucky Bourbon Festival celebrating all things bourbon. Right now, (along with horses and basketball) they’re both part of our cultural heritage. Funny, long before the Bourbon Trail was established (1999) and distilleries built multi-million dollar visitor centers with chef-driven eateries to accommodate the exploding bourbon tourism industry or before the Kentucky Bourbon Festival (1992) cemented itself as the center of the bourbon universe during its run, I was helping bang out bourbon dinners at a restaurant in downtown Lexington. Back in the day, bourbon dinners were a novelty and not a thing. At the time, our restaurant happened to have a very large bourbon selection and when we were approached about hosting a bourbon tasting/dinner, we jumped all over the opportunity. With little experience and unbounded naivete, we kept the dinners very simple until they gained popularity and the notion took hold. Nowadays, bourbon dinners are indeed a thing. The notion stuck. Over the years, with single barrel bourbons, small batch bourbons, blended barrels, and craft bourbons crashing the party, bourbon dinners (and bourbons) have gotten more complex and sophisticated. It’s a good time to be a bourbon lover. The Kentucky Bourbon Festival started out in 1992 as a dinner with a bourbon tasting. Every year, it built on its popularity until it skyrocketed into a two week event that draws over 50,000 attendees a year to the beautiful town of Bardstown, Kentucky. Bourbon mania. Sixteen years after that inaugural dinner and bourbon tasting, I found myself teaching, cooking, and demonstrating a 5 course bourbon inspired meal for 250 bourbonites at The Culinary Arts; Bourbon Style Cooking School at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival. Full circle. I have a tender spot for my two year stint teaching the bourbon cooking school. Oh sure, planning, prepping, traveling, and cooking in an archaic portable makeshift kitchen had its challenges, but it was always great fun. With the festival just around the corner, I can still feel how my nervous excitement swelled and calmed moments before service when the bell tower chimed My Old Kentucky Home through the serene shaded grounds of My Old Kentucky Home

State Park. Cue the music and light the burners. Lucky Kentucky boy. With smoky undertones from the charred barrels blending with subtle notes of vanilla, spice, caramel, honey, and oak, the inherent qualities of bourbon lend themselves readily to both sweet and savory preparations. While I’ve applied it to just about everything, bourbon’s natural affinity with pork gets me every time. Slow Roasted Bourbon-Lacquered Pork With a few tweaks, I ventured back to the simplicity of my first bourbon dinner with an easy going preparation. Time. Little effort. Big payoff. Brine. To jump start the bourbon factor, I made a quick brine with 1 cup hot water, 2 cups cold water 4 tablespoons Maker’s Mark bourbon, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3 tablespoons salt, and 3 tablespoons brown sugar. After chilling it down with 1 cup crushed ice, I poured it over a 4 1/2 pound Rolling Rock Farm Boston Butt pork roast, massaged it into the meat, and slid it into the refrigerator to marinate/brine overnight. Slather and rub. The next day, I pulled the pork from the refrigerator, drained the brine, patted the pork dry, and slathered it 1 cup bitingly sharp Maille dijon mustard. While the pork roast came to room temperature, I mixed 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar with 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin, 1/2 tablespoon dried thyme, 3 tablespoons Bourbon Barrel Smoked Bourbon Sea Salt, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper. After massaging and packing the spiced brown sugar rub onto every inch of the pork roast, I scattered sliced Casey County candy onions into a large roasting pan, nestled the pork roast over the onions, added 1 1/2 cups chicken stock, and 1/2 cup bourbon before sliding the roast (uncovered) into a preheated low 325 degree oven for 4 1/2 - 5 hours, basting the meat with the pan juices every 45 minutes and adding stock when needed. As the fat melted into the meat, it swirled through pan juices, sticky candied spice rub, and bourbon spiked stock. Think about it. It was a basting dream. Even at a low oven temp (with that much sugar action) I kept a close eye on the pan drippings, adding more liquid/bourbon when needed. Baste. Wait. Baste. Repeat. When the internal temperature of the pork reached 190 degrees and it was beautifully smothered, covered, and lacquered, I pulled the roast from the oven, tented it foil, and let it rest for 25 minutes. After 5 hours, the pan juices were highly concentrated. To loosen them up a bit, I slid the roasting pan over 2 stove top burners, turned the heat to medium, and added a scant 1 tablespoon flour. When the flour bubbled up, I soften the sauce with 1 cup chicken stock, 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, and an extra splash of bourbon to perk it up. I ripped thick shards of pork from the sticky burnished roast, nestled them into puddles of smoky sweet bourbon pan sauce, and tucked buttered Weisenberger Mills cornbread waffles to the side before finishing with fresh grassy parsley, slivered Casey County sweet red banana peppers, bright quick-pickled shallots, and pickled garlic cloves. I’ll drink to that.

True Grits An Appalachian Journey, with Recipes
V
ictuals was busy making the list of 2016’s best cookbooks
before it was even released (Clarkson Potter, August 30). It’s the latest effort from food maven and Kentucky native, Ronni Lundy. In a Best Of 2016 lineup that includes Ina Garten, Tasting Table says, “Appalachian food is about to experience its heyday, and with Lundy’s lush stories about the region’s culinary narrative, you’ll come to crave the corn, braising greens and shuck beans that come with it. The desserts are particularly alluring, like gingerbread that uses black walnuts and the ‘sorghum sea foam’ frosting on top of chocolate-blackberry jam layer cake.” Lundy’s books (Sorghum’s Savor; Butter Beans to Blackberries; The Festive Table; and Shuck Beans, Stack Cakes and Honest Fried Chicken) are not so much cookbooks as they are anthropology, and the latest is no exception. Lundy says, “I would have to own that while I love to cook, recipe is not my primary interest in writing about food. I am profoundly grateful to those for whom it is and for their work, which informs mine, and I try to live up to good practice and honor great cooking when it comes to writing recipes, but I am as interested as much in why we are doing what we’re doing when we stand at the stove as the how. And that interest is personal, political, sociological and extremely historical. The great thing in writing about food (and the secret subtext hidden in many recipes) is its revelation of the voices of people who traditionally have not been consulted when history is told—even their own history. Recipe and cookbooks are where we hear what women’s lives were actually like in different eras, and what constituted daily life for the family. If you want to look at it in those terms, in food we learn the experiences of the humble, the poor and the outcast as well as those who have it made. Food is an easy door into strange cultures and stories. Plus you get to eat while you’re doing all that research.” Cookbook author Kendra Bailey Morris writes, “Ronni Lundy’s Victuals is a beautiful testament to Appalachian food and culture. If you want to learn more about this region, especially from a culinary,

Bourbon, Victuals, and Appalachia “We were all — my father, mother, sister, me — born in Corbin. But when I was about a year old and my sister 12, my father got word of work in the distilleries in Louisville and we moved. My parents lived in the city the rest of their lives, but they never fully left the mountains.” —Ronni Lundy, Victuals: An Appalachian Journey, with Recipes
Appalachian Food Summit returns to Kentucky historical, social context, this is your read. Oh, and recipes— pepperoni rolls, chili dawgs, fried pies, pea salad, fried chicken and white gravy. Almost heaven, indeed!” Of the “chili dawgs,” Eastern Kentucky natives need not fear that their beloved chili buns have been neglected. Lundy says the book includes “a big full color photo of Chili Bun with upstart Slaw Dogs on p. 99 and a lovingly crafted recipe for Chili Bun Chili along with tips for picking the right bun. PLUS my version of what should be the city seal of Corbin, rendered by brilliant tattoo artist Ash Swain, on the front end pages. Three pool cues crossed representing Nevels, The Dixie, and The Fad.” The new book will put Lundy on the road for a two-month tour, with several stops in her home state. There will be a cocktail and food from the book event at 610 Magnolia in Louisville Wednesday, Sep 14. Lundy and Toni Tipton-Martin will be at Carmichael’s in Louisville on Sunday, Sep 18 at 3 p.m. She will have a reading at the Morris Book Shop on Wednesday, Sep 21
BY RL REEVES JR The third annual Appalachian Food Summit is coming to Berea, the weekend of Sept. 16. I spent a fair amount of time in Berea when I was a kid growing up in the Cumberland Highlands of southeastern Kentucky. In the region, Berea is viewed somewhat suspiciously as a liberal outpost where men grow their hair long and VW Micro-buses are common modes of transport. If you don’t fit in in your rural Kentucky hamlet and don’t have the money to migrate to San Francisco or New Orleans, then Berea might be a tolerant place for you to rest your head at night.
E
arlier today, I put a pair of big hog jowls that I
bought from the Berea College Farm Store in a cure of pink salt in the bottom of my fridge. I then made a breakfast of grits that I bought from the same market. I visited Berea twice last month and was fortunate to spend a morning hanging out with Sean Clark, the farm director at Berea College. That Farm Store is a sight to behold, stocked to the rafters with fresh produce, grains grown and milled on the
farm and coolers filled with sustainably grown and humanely slaughtered meats. I nearly spent my entire July grocery budget in there. Later this month, a group of farmers, writers, food historians, chefs and plain old mountain folks will descend on Berea for the 3rd annual Appalachian Food Summit the weekend of Sept. 16. There’ll be a soup beans and cornbread supper by Chef Edward Lee and Louisville’s Smoke & Soul Pop Up on that Friday. The next morning beginning, at 9:30 a.m., the summit will swing back into motion with talks by Gurney Norman, Toni Tipton Martin, and Steven Alvarez. I took a series of classes called A Taste Of African Heritage from Ms. Martin in Austin, Texas and she is a compelling presence on the dais. Steven Alvarez is a UK professor famed for teaching taco literacy to college students. Gurney Norman, a Hazard native penned the counterculture classic “Divine Right’s Trip” which appeared in the 1971 “Last Whole Earth Catalog.” It’s required reading for folks who dig Herbert Huncke or other drugged-up, adventure-seeking scribes. Saturday’s activities conclude with a grand feast produced by chef Travis Milton (who’s standing on the edge of the big time with his large-scale Bristol, Tennessee project slated to open in 2017) as well as Ouita Michel (Holly Hill Inn), Wayne Riley (Grow Appalachia) and Ashley Capps (formerly at Eleven Madison Park). I have a distinct feeling that salt-cured ham, greasy beans and sour cornbread could be coming out of that dream team kitchen. And if the stars align perfectly then perhaps Ms Capps will make her world-beating butterscotch pie as a grace note to the summit. A note to attendees. Berea now allows the sale of alcohol in restaurants and cafes.

Spicing up Guy Fieri’s Flavortown
BY AAYAT ALI
I
n the five short months since Chef Lucy Seo opened her Korean restaurant Han Cook In, she has already begun making waves locally and nationally. Last month, Seo made her debut on the Food Network's Guy's Grocery Games, hosted by Guy Fieri. This episode, titled Spice Masters, pit chefs from across the world known for their spicy cuisine head-tohead in a competition that tests their abilities under the pressure of being watched by millions of Food Network viewers. "On the episode, chefs from around the world are spicing things up in Flavortown. First, the chefs must make a dish bringing some big hometown heat with a small twist. Next, chefs must bowl over the judges making a spicy American classic. In the last round, the final two chefs make an upscale spicy dinner with a double whammy game that will turn the heat up on the competition." The first round, Seo whipped up spicy octopus with red peppers, kimchi and other vegetables – something you would probably see in her restaurant today. For her American classic, Seo decided on dark chocolate coated chicken wings with Korean spicy sauce, which would be the dish that gets her eliminated. Although Seo said watching herself on television was strange, holding a small get-together with supportive customers allowed her to laugh and enjoy watching the
episode. "When I was there, I couldn't even [think about] what I was doing. Maybe I would have made my spicy fire sauce," said Seo when asked what she wish she had done differently. In the future, she said she hopes to be on American Diner Revival, a show that surprises hard-working owners with complete restaurant makeovers. Seo said her favorite Food Network shows include Chopped, and an homage to her beginnings as a food truck business, The Great Food Truck Race. Despite not making it to the final round, she is on the cusp of several milestones. Han Cook In just celebrated a grand reopening with a brand new system, new fusion items, and lower menu prices. "I took some items off the menu and made new fusion items such as beef bulgogi waffle sandwich, chicken fried chicken waffle sandwich, and pineapple cheesecake waffle. All my menu prices are lower than before, because we are now self-service." Han Cook In customers will now order, pay, then pick up a number. When their food is up, the number will show up on a monitor. After their meals, customers will bring their dishes to the front. Han Cook In does not yet have a liquor license, but Seo has set up a GoFundMe page, saying, "I want to show people how I can change my life and be successful!"

Free Will Astrology
By Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Truth decay is in its early stages. If you take action soon, you can prevent a full-scale decomposition. But be forewarned: Things could get messy, especially if you intervene with the relentless candor and clarity that will be required for medicinal purification. So what do you think? Are you up for the struggle? I understand if you’re not. I’ll forgive you if you simply flee. But if you decide to work your cagey magic, here are some tips. 1. Compile your evidence with rigor. 2. As much as is humanly possible, put aside rancor. Root your efforts in compassionate objectivity. 3. Even as you dig around in the unsightly facts, cherish the beautiful truths you’d like to replace them with. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Are you willing to lose at least some of your inhibitions? Are you curious to find out what it feels like to cavort like a wise wild child? If you want to fully cooperate with life’s plans, you will need to consider those courses of action. I am hoping that you’ll accept the dare, of course. I suspect you will thrive as you explore the pleasures of playful audacity and whimsical courage and effervescent experiments. So be blithe, Taurus! Be exuberant! Be open to the hypothesis that opening to jaunty and jovial possibilities is the single most intelligent thing you can do right now. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What’s the current status of your relationship with your feet? Have you been cultivating and cherishing your connection with the earth below you? The reason I ask, Gemini, is that right now it’s especially important for you to enjoy intimacy with gravity, roots, and foundations. Whatever leads you down and deeper will be a source of good fortune. Feeling grounded will provide you with an aptitude for practical magic. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A woman in the final stages of giving birth may experience acute discomfort. But once her infant spills out into the world, her distress can transform into bliss. I don’t foresee quite so dramatic a shift for you, Cancerian. But the transition you undergo could have similar elements: from uncertainty to grace; from agitation to relief; from constriction to spaciousness. To take advantage of this blessing, don’t hold onto the state you’re leaving behind – or the feelings it aroused in you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In one of my dreams last night, a Leo sensualist I know advised me to take smart pills and eat an entire chocolate cheesecake before writing my next Leo horoscope. In another dream, my Leo friend Erica suggested that I compose your horoscope while attending an orgy where all the participants were brilliant physicists, musicians, and poets. In a third dream, my old teacher Rudolf (also a Leo) said I should create the Leo horoscope as I sunbathed on a beach in Maui while being massaged by two sexy geniuses. Here’s how I interpret my dreams: In the coming days, you can literally increase your intelligence by indulging in comforts and sensory delights. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Play a joke on your nervous anxiety. Leap off the ground or whirl in a circle five times as you shout, “I am made of love!” Learn the words and melody to a new song that lifts your mood whenever you sing it. Visualize yourself going on an adventure that will amplify your courage and surprise your heart. Make a bold promise to yourself, and acquire an evocative object that will symbolize your intention to fulfill that promise. Ask yourself a soul-shaking question you haven’t been wise enough to investigate before now. Go to a wide-open space, spread your arms out in a greeting to the sky, and pray for a vision of your next big goal.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Illuminati do not want you to receive the prophecy I have prepared for you. Nor do the Overlords of the New World Order, the Church of the SubGenius, the Fake God that masquerades as the Real God, or the nagging little voice in the back of your head. So why am I going ahead and divulging this oracle anyway? Because I love you. My loyalty is to you, not those shadowy powers. Therefore, I am pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to evade, ignore, undermine, or rebel against controlling influences that aren’t in alignment with your soul’s goals. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The dictionary says that the verb “to schmooze” means to chat with people in order to promote oneself or make a social connection that may prove to be advantageous. But that definition puts a selfish spin on an activity that can, at least sometimes, be carried out with artful integrity. Your assignment in the coming weeks is to perform this noble version of schmoozing. If you are offering a product or service that is beautiful or useful or both, I hope you will boost its presence and influence with the power of your good listening skills and smart conversations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you are attuned with the cosmic rhythms in the coming weeks, you will be a source of teaching and leadership. Allies will feel fertilized by your creative vigor. You’ll stimulate team spirit with your savvy appeals to group solidarity. If anyone can revive droopy procrastinators and demonstrate the catalytic power of gratitude, it’ll be you. Have you heard enough good news, Sagittarius, or can you absorb more? I expect that you’ll inspire interesting expressions of harmony that will replace contrived versions of togetherness. And every blessing you bestow will expand your capacity for attracting favors you can really use. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The fictional character known as Superman has one prominent vulnerability: the mineral kryptonite. When he’s near this stuff, it weakens his superpowers and may cause other problems. I think we all have our own versions of kryptonite, even if they’re metaphorical. For instance, my own superpowers tend to decline when I come into the presence of bad architecture, cheesy poetry, and off-pitch singing. How about you, Capricorn? What’s your version of kryptonite? Whatever it is, I’m happy to let you know that you are currently less susceptible to its debilitating influences than usual. Why? Well, you have a sixth sense about how to avoid it. And even if it does draw near, you have in your repertoire some new tricks to keep it from sapping your strength. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s quite possible you will receive seductive proposals in the coming weeks. You may also be invited to join your fortunes with potential collaborators who have almost fully awakened to your charms. I won’t be surprised if you receive requests to share your talents, offer your advice, or bestow your largesse. You’re a hot prospect, my dear. You’re an attractive candidate. You appear to be ripe for the plucking. How should you respond? My advice is to be flattered and gratified, but also discerning. Just because an inquiry is exciting doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Choose carefully. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Would you like to become a master of intimacy? Can you imagine yourself handling the challenges of togetherness with the skill of a great artist and the wisdom of a love genius? If that prospect appeals to you, now would be a favorable time to up your game. Here’s a hot tip on how to proceed: You must cultivate two seemingly contradictory skills. The first is the capacity to identify and nurture the best qualities in your beloved friend. The second is the ability to thrive on the fact that healthy relationships require you to periodically wrestle with each other’s ignorance and immaturity.

Bear
1 year old 45 lbs Labrador Mix
There’s nothing scary about this Bear - if you startled him in the woods, he’d just run over and cover you in kisses! Bear is an energetic youngster just past his puppy days, so he needs an active home to keep him busy. He adores the company of other dogs and would love to find a family with a canine playmate. Honestly, Bear might just adore everybody, on two legs or four...he’s just a happy-go-lucky kind of pup! Come meet Bear at our Adoption Center today or call 859.873.5491 to learn more about him.
