One More ReStore

Celebrating Habitat’s retail mission with a message

BY JOHN WHITLOCK

T

here’s going to be cake.

That’s one of the first things Habitat volunteers will tell you about their upcoming 30th anniversary.

But that’s the least of this celebration that will commemorate Habitat’s 30year presence in Lexington — a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry that builds affordable housing with people in need. Habitat houses are a hand up, not a handout, with prospective owners contributing sweat equity throughout the process. The home buyer makes a literal, physical investment in Habitat’s work. The hours invested are viewed as a “down payment” of sorts and all hours are completed before the closing.

O

ne of the most highly visible parts of Habitat’s mission in Lexington are its prominent “ReStore” retail locations on Southland Drive and Winchester Road.

Jason Nesler shines when he shows visitors around the Winchester Road space.

With pride and enthusiasm, the ReStore manager tells us about some of the unique treasures lining the shelves and packed on the floor as he provides a tour. Nesler, like the shoppers ReStore draws, never knows what will be brought in on a daily basis. Recent visitors would’ve found both an ornamental boat and a vintage golf ball washer for sale.

An EKU biology grad who’d worked at Gall’s and Wilson’s Nursery, Nesler was ready for a new challenge when he applied with Habitat.

“Months later,” he says, “they contacted me and made this pitch, this

aceweekly.com

idea. The idea was they wanted to start a second [ReStore] location here in the city. So I came on board about two months before we actually opened this location so a lot of that time was training, setting up the store, getting the construction done, drywall, painting, the floors.“

R

eStore, the retail operation of Habitat for Humanity, accepts a wide array of donations — couches, dishes, chairs, tables, lighting, books, works of art, stoves, refrigerators, building supplies, doors, mantles, DVDs, pianos, beds, tchotchkes, bathtubs, floors, counters, fans, paint

“I think everyone here is tapped into the bigger meaning of why we are here and what we doing. It makes it feel like not just another retail job.” brushes, collectibles, hardware, and yes, of course, the kitchen sink.

All these items, and many, many more, are sold to the public to help fund Habitat for Humanity’s mission of building affordable housing in the community.

ReStore is usually one of a treasure hunter’s first stops. Nesler says vintage stores also use Restore as a resource and sometimes, the same shoppers will return twice a day just to see what has changed.

Opening the new store on Winchester wasn’t undertaken on a whim.

“For years, (the new location) has been projected and budgeted for, planned toward,” Nesler said. “There are over 900 affiliates (ReStore locations) nationwide for Habitat For Humanity. Lexington is consistently in the top 20, often in the top 10 in terms of output, revenue, donations, all of those metrics.”

Despite a successful expansion of the Southland Drive location, the public’s support for ReStore through both donations and retail sales made the decision to add another store obvious, “I thought they were messing with

me when I heard numbers like 200-donor Saturdays, but that is a real thing, ” Nesler said. “When you think about the logistics of that many donations, it’s kinda insane, but they handle it.

Lexington was kinda busting at the seams for a second store. The time was right and this property became available.”

A

lthough Nesler’s job is primarily operating a retail store, the mission of Habitat For Humanity is never far from his mind. He regularly attends Habitat For Humanity ‘build days’ dedications and other events that highlight the very real and positive work of the organization.

The idea that public good is coming from their efforts is a message that Nesler likes to share with the staff.

It isn’t just a job, it’s a mission with a message. He says, “Part of the appeal of working for a non-profit is knowing the good you are doing for the community that you serve. I think everyone here is tapped into the bigger meaning of why were are here and what we doing. It makes it feel like not just another retail job.”

It’s not traditional retail in many ways. “Literally, here, your entire store could change week to week. We move that much product. Conceptually, that’s a lot different from traditional retailers.”

Because ReStore’s entire inventory comes from individual and corporate donations, it can present a challenge.

“You never know what your donor count is gonna be in any given week,” Nesler said. “There is a lot of improv and thinking on the fly and problem solving on the fly.”

Although ReStore is known as a haven for treasure hunters, it’s also a well known source for incredible bargains.

“We do use a lot of references,” Nesler says. “We do look at eBay and other online sellers if we have something unusual come in. The bottom line is we are trying to create the best possible prices for the folks in our community while gaining as much profit as possible because that goes right back into our mission of building affordable housing in the community.”

Lexington Habitat for Humanity will celebrate its 30th anniversary on September 8. Join friends, staff, donors, and volunteers at Martin Luther King Park from 2 pm to 3:30 pm for celebration, community and of course, cake! A brief presentation is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.

DECONSTRUCTION

Are you remodeling or demolishing a home or business?

Lexington Habitat’s trained staff can carefully remove items such as your kitchen cabinets and countertops. Rather than go to the landfill, salvaged materials find a second home through Habitat ReStore. Proceeds from your donation help fund building and repairing homes for your neighbors in need.

VOLUNTEER

Volunteering at the ReStore is a fun way to make a difference in your community without swinging a hammer or getting your boots muddy. Not only do ReStore volunteers help Habitat for Humanity build affordable homes in Lexington, but they also keep our community clean and green by diverting more than 6,000 pounds of reusable material out of the waste stream every day! New ReStore volunteers must schedule an orientation prior to their first shift.

SHOP

ReStore is never the same store twice.

Hundreds of new items added daily. Visit ReStore’s Facebook and instagram for the latest photos and news.

Cooking with Bourbon for Bourbon Month

BY TOM YATES

T

he weeks and days leading up the annual Kentucky Bourbon Festival always fill me with nostalgia.

Long before bourbon and food formed the perfect marriage, the Culinary Arts: Bourbon Style-Cooking School filled a fun niche for a lucky few of the thousands of people attending the annual two week festival held in September in the middle of National Bourbon Heritage Month.

Limited to 250 students (give or take a few), it was one of the first events to sell out months before the festival welcomed the world to Bardstown to celebrate our beloved Bluegrass elixir.

For years, I was fortunate enough to lead a team and take our little show a few miles down the road to cook, perform demo, and serve bourbon-inspired four-course dinners in a small event space tucked under century old magnolias and maples on the quaint grounds of My Old Kentucky Home State Park.

Washing over our controlled chaos, haunting tower bells tolled the languid music of “My Old Kentucky Home” throughout the serene grounds of the park. In the heat of the action, those echoing bells calmed, energized, and grounded my sense of self as a simple hard cooking Kentucky boy.

So, yes. As the Bourbon Festival nears, I grow nostalgic for a sip of that serenity and the slow glorious burn of cooking with bourbon.

Eat, drink, and be merry.

Great balls of bourbon!

Not all bourbon balls are created equal. Oh sure, we all adore our iconic, potent, and addictive chocolate delicacies laced with copious amounts of bourbon, but sometimes it’s fun to think outside of the box and take a little ride on the wild side.

Bluegrass Arancini.

(Bourbon Meatball Fried Rice Balls) Arancini —deep fried rice balls made with leftover risotto filled with cheese or meat —are an ingenious way to utilize leftover rice. And while a well made risotto is a creamy ethereal dream, any forthcoming arancini captures the dream in another state with deep fried crunch.

FOOD by Tom Yates

Risotto.

Risotto doesn’t have to be a chore.

All it takes is a little organization, time, attention, and 20 minutes of patience.

Have fun with it. Just about anything can be incorporated into risotto. To let the bourbon stand out, I went straight up basic.

I warmed five cups chicken stock in a stock pot over a medium flame and parked it on a back burner to simmer on medium low.After sauteing one minced shallot in two tablespoons butter and two tablespoons olive oil until the shallots turned translucent, I added salt, pepper, and 1 1/2 cups arborio rice, turning the rice in the oil/butter combo to coat all the grains. When the glistening rice turned opaque, I hit the pan with 1/2 cup white wine and let it reduce before adding 1 cup of the warm chicken stock. When the rice absorbed most of the first installment of stock, I added additional stock in 1/2 cup increments, allowing the rice to absorb the stock after each addition before adding another. After about 20 minutes, the rice was perfectly al dente and creamy.

While the risotto was still steaming hot, I added 2 tablespoons butter and 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

After pulling the risotto from the heat, I whipped it like a mad man before pouring it into a buttered sheet pan and sliding it into the refrigerator to chill and set.

Bourbon Balls.

Instead of simply coating the meatballs with a fabulous bourbon glaze, I bourbonized them through and through.

After heating 2 tablespoons neutral oil in a large saute pan over a medium flame until the oil started to shimmer, I tumbled 2 1/2 cups finely sliced candy onions into the hot pan, showered them with salt to release their juices, reduced the heat to medium low, and let the onions go low and slow for about 35 minutes. When the onions were on the brink of caramelizing, I pulled the saute pan off of the heat, added 1/2 cup Bulleit bourbon, returned the pan to heat, flamed the bourbon, allowed the flames to subside, and added 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar along with 1/3 cup brown sugar before reducing the heat and letting the onions rip until they melted into sexy strands of sticky bourbon-spiked onion candy.

After pulling the caramelized onions from the heat, I minced half of the onions (reserved the other half) and set them aside.

Where’s the beef?

After feathering 1 pound Jerod’s grass-fed ground beef into a large mixing bowl, I added 1/2 cup of the minced bourbon onions, 1/2 cup ParmigianoReggiano, 1 egg yolk, a splash of fresh bourbon, 1 minced garlic clove, salt, and cracked black pepper. Being mindful not to over mix the meat, I gently combined the ingredients, rolled the mixture into 3/4” meatballs, and placed them onto a greased sheet pan before sliding them into a preheated 350 oven. When they were cooked through (about 15 minutes), I pulled them from the oven and set them aside to cool.

Wrap it up.

When the bourbon balls were cool enough to handle, I pulled the chilled risotto from the fridge, flattened about 3 tablespoons of risotto in the palm of my hand to about 1/4” thickness, wrapped the bourbon balls in a layer of risotto, sealed the balls within the risotto, rolled them until smooth, and set them aside.

Flour. Egg wash. Crumb. Dry hand.

Wet Hand.

Fry.

After dredging the arancini in seasoned flour, I dipped them egg wash, rolled them through herb-flecked fresh breadcrumbs, and carefully dropped them into a preheated 360 degree deep fryer.

When they turned golden brown, I pulled them from the oil to drain on paper towels.

While still warm, I tumbled the crispy bourbon balls onto fresh basil leaves nestled over the reserved caramelized onions and pierced them with bamboo basil picks before finishing with flaked sea salt, and quick-pickled Stonehedge hot chilies.

Raise a glass! And have a ball.

Rest in Peace, Mike Gooch “I am a complicated person. I take vitamins with Diet Ale 8! I love to do auctions and I love learn!”

—Mike Gooch Lexington’s real estate community is mourning the sudden passing of auctioneer/realtor and LBAR instructor, Mike Gooch in August.

Friends described him as “a Real Estate Broker, Auctioneer, Instructor, and a cowboy in every sense of the word.”

The following is excerpted from his “Get Gooched” University Vision Statement “The following is the “Vision Statement” from which I try to live my life. When I get up and read it and live it, My life is immensely — way — better. Do I always hit the mark? Nope!

However I can not hit the mark if I don’t aim first! This is how I aim. You are welcome to use it too!!

This is my Vision: To live a happy, a healthy, a positive, a productive, a passionate, and an abundant life.

To be happy first and foremost is for me to live a life in total peace. I enjoy my life and I love everyone and every living creature I encounter. This love is contagious and noticeable. I always show the utmost respect, integrity and honesty in all situations. Seeking first to understand then been understood. I quickly make right any mistake without hesitation...

To be healthy is to be fit. Spiritually Fit, Emotionally and Mentally Fit, Physically Fit, Financially Fit and Verbally Fit. I carefully and intuitively monitor not only what goes into my mind but what comes out of my mouth, never taking for granted the power of words. I do what it takes through prayer, meditation and constant study, not only to joyfully maintain, but to continue sustained growth in all these areas.

To be productive, I eagerly plan my days, my weeks, my months, my years, my life and my dreams, exactly as I want them. I have been created in the image of the greatest of all creators,

God. This means, I too am a Creator.

I take great joy and care in creating the greatest of all my creations, my life, and it is good! I see and visualize the desired outcomes of my effort and achievements with absolute faith, always with a huge smile on my face.

Passion! This is truly my gift of “double portion”! No matter what I am doing, an auction, a speech, a class, writing a book, riding a horse, or just living life — my passion is apparent and contagious. Passion is the rocket fuel for being always and forever “Being Gooched” and I am truly thankful for this gift.

Abundance — My cup runneth over in every area of my life. I give thanks to God for this abundance and I always give back that which has been given to me.
