Peppers, kohlrabi, broccoli, Swiss chard, herbs, peaches, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, Roma beans, yellow squash, zucchini, beets, cabbage, raspberries, blackberries, green onions, eggplant, rhubarb, acorn Squash and patty-pan squash are out among Kentucky's farmers' markets. My wife and daughter on Sunday evening made some cupcakes that somehow replaced eggs with yellow squash. They have dark-chocolate chips and a sugar-and-milk glaze, and the consistency is similar to that of a very moist Mexican cornbread. (I'm counting this as a recipe.) They're outstanding. I've eaten seven in their first 36 hours in the house.
Kelly and Turner appear to be migrating significantly further north this summer. I'm not sure what this means. I find the whole bird-migration deal a little confusing. Do they make two loops south during the year--once to avoid harsher winter conditions and once to have their babies?
Geocaching was the main event of one of three surprise parties in three consecutive years at which I was honestly surprised.
The devil is going down to Rough River State Park.
Here she comes again, the Andrew Carnegie of country music.
My guess is that one of the primary reasons that some schools excel in a sport and others don't is because the ones that excel make it mean something.
I wonder who Glover Cary is/was.
The man behind reportedly one of Lucille Ball's favorite shoes.
According to Wikipedia, Glover H. Cary was born in McLean County in 1885. He attended Centre College and became a lawyer. He served in the Kentucky General Assembly from 1914 (age 29) to 1917 (age 32). He was prosecuting attorney for McLean County from 1918 to 1922, and then served as the Commonwealth's Attorney for the Sixth Judicial District from 1922 until February 28, 1931 (age 45), when he resigned to take up his position as a member of Congress representing Kentucky's Second District.
ReplyDeleteCary, a Democrat, served in Congress from March 4, 1931 until December 5, 1936 (age 51), when he died in Cincinnati, Ohio. He had just been re-elected.
He is buried at Calhoun Cemetary, in Calhoun, Kentucky.
Thank you, GoHeath. With all due respect to the writers of highway historical markers, we really do we need more detail on what these people did--as opposed to just the offices to which they were elected. I'm sure Glover Cary had a pretty interesting career and was involved in some historic decisions in a courtroom, the legislature and/or Congress.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've now eaten nine of the squash cupcakes.
