On our latest trip to Louisville, I was once again able to sample the local foods. So, for lunch with Aunt Joan, it was the “Louisville Hot Brown”.
A Hot Brown is a hot sandwich originally created at the Brown Hotel in Louisville. The Brown Hotel (formerly the Camberley Brown Hotel) is a historic 16-story hotel in downtown Louisville on the corner of Fourth and Broadway. The hotel opened in 1923 and was funded and owned by James Graham Brown, a local entrepreneur. In 1926 the hotel chef Fred K. Schmidt introduced the Hot Brown sandwich, consisting of an open-faced “sandwich” of turkey and bacon smothered with mornay sauce, cheese and tomato. It has been a local staple ever since. On menus, the Hot Brown often appears as”Louisville Hot Brown”, or “Kentucky Hot Brown” or simply as “Hot Brown.” And the ingredients vary slightly from place to place. At KTs restaurant, all that turkey, sauce, bacon, tomatoes and cheese is piled on a croissant.
I doubt you can find the recipe on the weight watchers website, but I think if its just an occasional dietary extravagance it should be ok.

On the return flight from one of my latest trips to Kentucky, I was re-routed to Oklahoma City where we spent an hour sitting in the plane waiting for the lightning storm to clear Chicago.
Never been to Oklahoma City and I did get a good view of their bridge system so that was good.

One of the great things to do while in Louisville is to visit the Louisville Slugger factory and museum. While there, you can get a close up and personal tour to watch the bats being made. Then, at the end of the tour, they give you a small bat of your own as a souvenir. Trouble is, you can’t check those bats through with your carry-on luggage when leaving via the Louisville airport. I am guessing this is the only airport in the country that has such a large display of bats that have been confiscated from travelers who have tried to get the bats through security. I am also guessing that this display is only a small portion of the bats they have actually seized. The rest probably go back to the factory, to be given out to the next set of tourists taking the tour. Isn't that what recycling and re-using our natural resources all about?

Here is a photo of a Magnolia in bloom, on a cool Louisville morning. This tree is in the yard where Honey grew up. I took a series of photos to give to her aunt who thought she might like to paint the blooms. It is really a stunning tree. Anyway, I'm posting the picture today, since she is back home in Louisville for the week visiting her family and friends. Have a good time Honey.

Our latest trip to Kentucky was all too brief. During our trip to the east coast we learned of the passing of a very close family friend, H.L.Hinton. We were able to get a rush flight into Louisville, rent a car and drive directly to the evening visitation with the family. Then returning the next morning to the east coast. I was able to meet with Mr. Hinton on one weekend. We spent a wonderful sunny Kentucky morning visiting with him and listening to his stories. He will be missed.
H. L. Hinton D.M.D. Dr. H.L. Hinton, D.M.D., died Monday, August 27, 2007 at his home in Louisville with his family by his side.

He was a gentleman farmer, real estate investor, and a member of Southeast Christian Church, Jeffersontown United Methodist Church, Jeffersontown Optimist Club, the Masonic Lodge, and an Army veteran of the Korean War.
He achieved diamond status in Amway and was a professional motivational speaker.
He was loving, accepting, and supportive to all who knew him.

My wife was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky.
I had never been there before,
so it was good karma that she would find her way out to Oregon.
It is here that we met.
I have since been back to
Kentucky several times.
It is a great state that has many attractions.
Some I have seen in the few times I have been there, others, we hope to
see on future trips.
Those that I know of so far.....in no organized order.
