The open penthouse includes two elevators, one opening in the private quarters and in the main living space and the other opening to a private laundry and trash area, leading to the main lobby. The luxurious suite includes Lalique chandeliers, extensive Italian marble and granite throughout, as well as hand-forged artistic lass doors and fixtures. “Even though it’s very large, it isn’t overwhelming,” Julie Klein, listing agent with Semonin Realtors, says. The spacious kitchen includes top-brand appliances, Gaggenau, Miele and Wolf, two Subzero refrigerators and one commercial quality freezer, and light Woodmont cabinetry line the walls. The space includes a full chef’s kitchen with bar-height seating and a butler’s pantry. Remote control blinds were installed throughout, and a gas fireplace warms the suite. The building gives residents four parking spaces, two of which are on the main lobby level and two on the main floor. A 24/7 Concierge desk is included, as well as a rooftop pool, state-of-the-art gym, access to a commercial kitchen and party room, which can accommodate 150 guests, a grilling station, club room and private conference room. Being a resident means owners have building insurance, water, gas, a 24/7 handyman, cleaning and upkeep of the building, outside landscaping, laundry pick up and drop off, and a daily newspaper service. Julie says this is a one-of-a kind luxury condo that cannot be found anywhere else in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, or Tennessee. The 360-degree views that can be seen from any room are what sets it apart from the rest. “It comes to life at dusk into the evening with all the lights and hustle of city living,” Julie says. Living downtown is a certain type of lifestyle, she says. “(You have the) hustle of the city atmosphere and a convenient location to three expressways,” she says. So, she thinks, this property would be perfect for executives, hospital doctors or surgeons, business owners or government officials. If you’re interested in the approximately $3.5 million penthouse suite, contact Julie Klein at (502) 640-6545 or by email at jklein@semonin.com.

Behind the Build BY DAWN ANDERSON COURTESY PHOTOS
Over lunch, a brainstorming session evolved into the television show “Behind the Build,” with its third season airing next month through April 2022. Executive Producer/Director Kimberly Greenwell started KAG Media Consulting in 2009 and has produced the “My Southern Home” TV program since August 2017. Homebuilder/Designer Tracee Dore of Tracee Dore Builders was involved in a segment featuring the beginning of one of her builds in Persimmon Ridge. During that fortuitous lunch date, Kimberly and Tracee realized that Louisville could use a more encompassing show of the entire building process. “Building a house is often scary, daunting, and stressful,” says Kimberly. “But it doesn’t have to be if you have an expert guide you through the process. We pitched the show to contractors who thought it was a great idea.” Tracee had also participated in HGTV’s “Design Star” and “Home Stretch” on the DIY Network. As a woman in building and construction from age 16, she has always looked for ways to share usable information by digging into the details. “I am detail-oriented, very particular, and guide my clients every step of the way. I am passionate about educating the public.” Kimberly describes “Behind the Build” as a reality TV show that follows Tracee as she builds. “We go in-depth with why things happen, why she uses certain materials, the placement of those materials, and when things need to happen - the process of construction. The information is not over anyone’s

head and takes away fear. Knowledge is power. The more knowledge you have, the better decisions you can make.” Tracee enjoys spotlighting subcontractors and vendors with “real conversations pertaining to projects.” Season 1 began airing in August 2020 and Season 2 aired February through April of 2021, both seasons still shooting as episodes were airing. Kimberly says shooting Season 3 in advance allowed them to show more of the houses from start to finish. “You will see more of a progression - from staking out to framing, drywall, mechanical, fixtures, cabinetry, and countertops - such a cool process!” Tracee has grown more comfortable as a television personality. “I’m a lot more relaxed with facing and talking to the camera. I just do me and do my thing.” COVID-19 was still affecting Season 3 production regarding safe shooting practices and supply chain issues. According to Kimberly, “The lagtime with materials means you need to have patience, order things a lot earlier, and trust the people helping you.” This is where Tracee’s expertise comes in handy. “Tracee personally oversees every aspect on site every day with boots
on the ground to order things on time and manage the construction schedule.” Tracee says it is more crucial now than ever to have this show for their sponsors. “To keep construction booming and keep up the hype, we had to keep going.” Originally from Michigan, she started her career relying on a Michigan lake house aesthetic with historical influences. Her style has evolved and caters more to what clients want. “I’ve been called a chameleon.” Tracee is currently interested in modern design favored by her younger clientele but understands the Louisville market’s general preference for traditional home design. She enjoys using a mix of materials, evident on “Behind the Build.” In Season 3, viewers can expect a continuation of the Summer Classic home featured initially in Season 2. Kimberly says we will see the finished home and move-in. Season 3 will also introduce two new home builds for a total of twelve episodes. “Our goal for the show is to give viewers things they can’t learn on big national home shows. We know how savvy they are with researching online. But through this show, they can see it and hear it from the locals and share in the excitement of construction.”
Starting in mid-February, catch “Behind the Build” Sundays at 10:30 am right after “My Southern Home” on WBKI TV Channel 58 (Spectrum Channel 7). In the meantime, you can binge-watch the first two seasons on the Behind the Build YouTube channel.

From Our Table to Yours... Cooking is about nourishing bodies and bringing people together around a table. But for anyone who has experienced a proper Southern spread, you know: Southern cooking about so much more than feeding one another. It’s about making the most with the least and transforming humble ingredients into something that feeds the spirit. Think about your favorite Southern dishes. Your mind is probably dredging up a hearty bowl of chicken and dumplings, a spread of beer cheese and crackers, honey-drizzled cornbread with soup beans or collard greens, bourbondrenched bread pudding, fried catfish with crunchy hushpuppies, boiling hot burgoo, steamin’ hot biscuits and a gallon of sweet tea. The thought of each dish is like a balm for the soul, soothing you with the memory of a full belly and the glow of love. But when you think about it, each dish is the end product of generations of hard work, perserverance and innovation. It’s an unbroken line of love between our ancestors and our own families. As we head into the New Year, let’s honor that connection by making dishes that are as much a part of our shared identity as bluegrass and horses. Let’s celebrate all of the unique ingredients that make up our favorite southern spreads. And let’s raise a glass (of bourbon, naturally) to the southern cooks who came before us in the kitchen!
Biscuits for Breakfast (or whenever !) 2 cups (240g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon (11g) granulated sugar 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, cold 1/4 cup (46g) vegetable shortening, cold 1 large egg 1/2 cup (113g) milk, cream, or half-and-half Mix together the dry ingredients. With two knives, a pastry blender, your fingertips, or a stand mixer, cut or rub the butter and shortening in until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Whisk the egg and milk together. Add them to the dry ingredients all at once, mixing quickly and gently for about 20 seconds until you have a soft dough. Dump the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead it a couple of times to bring it together. With the help of a dough scraper, shape the dough into a 6” x 6” square, about 3/4” thick. Run a rolling pin over the top once to even it out. Wrap it in plastic wrap, and place it in the freezer for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the dough from the freezer, unwrap it, and set it on a work surface. It’ll be very stiff, but still soft enough to cut with a sharp knife, sharpened dough scraper or rolling cutter (pizza cutter). Cut the dough into nine 2” squares, and place the squares on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake the biscuits for 16 minutes, or until they’re a light, golden brown. Remove them from the oven, and serve hot, warm or at room temperature. Store, well-wrapped, on the counter for 3 days. Freeze for up to 3 months. Courtesy kingarthurbaking.com
Sausage Gravy 1 pound bulk pork sausage 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups milk (2% or whole) Kosher salt and black pepper to taste Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage, breaking into chunks until crumbled and browned through.
Add the flour and cook until dissolved, stirring with a spatula. Stir in the milk. Cook while whisking until the gravy thickens and starts to bubble. Note: your gravy will thicken as it starts to cool. If you find that your gravy is too thick, simply return it to the heat and add a splash of milk. Season liberally with salt and black pepper.

Carson’s Bread Pudding 12 oz. raisins 4 oz. brandy 3 oz. unsalted butter 4 lbs. Sister Schubert Rolls 2 qts. + 3 c. heavy cream 3 c. liquid egg 32 oz. granulated sugar 2 1/2 T vanilla extract 1 T cinnamon Cut the rolls into 1/6 squares and place in large mixing bowl. (Let bread sit out to dry some. It will absorb more of the cream.) Pour heavy cream over bread and soak for 30 minutes. Place raisins and brandy into the skillet and flame off brandy (which means to catch the brandy on fire and remove from heat, continually stir the raisins with a rubber spatula until the flame has gone out) then add the butter and set to the side to allow butter to melt. Put liquid egg, vanilla, cinnamon and sugar into large mixing bowl and blend. Next add the raisins, butter and brandy mixture to mixing bowl and blend with rubber spatula. Once evenly blended, add to the bread mixture and fold it in gently so bread doesn’t break down. Pour mixture into buttered hotel pan. Once you have evenly spread out the mixture, take your rubber spatula and scrape out remaining liquid from the mixing bowl. You want to use this liquid to pour around the sides of the pan or any posts that need additional liquid (this gives a good edge to the pudding). Bake at 250° in oven for 1 hr. 30 min. and rotate every 30 min. Check the internal consistency of the pudding to see if it is done (insert a toothpick in several different areas; if it comes out clean, it is done. If pudding is on the toothpick, then it needs to cook a little longer.) With the pudding being internally done, you now want to turn the oven to 350° and brown the top of the pudding, about 5-10 min. When completely cooled, cut into 15 equal pieces and refrigerate.

of tomato paste on the roast. Add enough beef stock to slightly cover the meat and both cans of diced tomatoes. Cover and place in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. While roast is cooking peel and chop carrots into 1-inch circles and reserve. Chop celery into 2-to-3-inch pieces and reserve. Peel onions and slice into 1 inch circles and reserve. Wash potatoes and set aside to chop later. After 1 1/2 hours, pull the roast out of the oven, uncover and check the seasoning of the broth. You will want it to be slightly salty.

Cover pan and place back in oven for another 2 hours or until vegetables and meat are fork tender. Enjoy! Coles 735 Main | 735 E Main St. Lexington, Ky | (859) 266-9000

Yellowstone
The Morning Show
If you haven’t seen Yellowstone, you should commit this month. There are four seasons to catch up on, but you’ll definitely binge it quickly. You might think that a cattle ranch drama won’t blow your skirt up, but we promise the eye candy will have you hooked.
This Apple+ drama has a ton of star power. It dives into the fascinating – and complicated – world of morning news television. It's can't-miss TV about TV.
You
Ozark The fourth – and final – season of this dark Netflix drama premieres this month. Fans of crime dramas will love this show, but the characters are definitely what makes it worth sticking around for.
If you binge serial killer documentaries and true crime podcasts for fun, you might love this drama on Netflix. Sometimes funny, sometimes graphic, this series will always shock and surprise you.
Manifest
Ted Lasso If you need a reason to smile, this show is it. An incredibly optimistic American football coach is tapped to lead an English soccer team. Catch it on Apple+.
Succession This high-powered family business drama on HBO has everyone talking. It’s full of lots of jaw-dropping moments and snappy dialogue to keep you guessing.
And Just Like That… Catch up with Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte in this miniseries sequel to Sex and the City. The ladies are older, but worry not: the heels are just as high and the gossip is flowing. Check it out on HBO Max.
This Netflix missing plane drama was cancelled, then picked up again after a viral fan campaign to get the show the ending it deserved. The final season will come out later this spring, so catch up now. Everyone will be talking about this one.
Women of the Movement This limited series premiers on ABC January 6th and promises to be heart-wrenching and inspiring. It chronicles the tireless efforts of Mamie Till-Mobley to get justice for her son, Emmett Till during the Civil Rights movement.
The Gilded Age

Many people resolve to read more at New Year's. If that's a goal of yours, we recommend building time for reading into your schedule. Turn off social media or other distractions. Don't force yourself to finish books you don't love, but try some books you think you might not love. If you do a lot of driving or working out, consider audiobooks. But most importantly? Enjoy it!
