Dr. Steve Says... Don’t be a Honeybee
D
r. Steven J. Stack, the new commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, has only been on the job since February of 2020. And he walked straight into a corona-crisis. Dr. Stack lives in Lexington and is still a practicing emergency physician at St. Joseph East. In recent press conferences, he became quickly known for his easy-to-understand explanations of how the coronavirus spreads — “like buckshot” (an infected person sneezes into a crowd) — and “like a honeybee” (a C19-positive person buzzes from door to door, unknowingly spreading the virus). When asked if professional service providers (e.g., hair, nails, etc) could still visit their clients in their homes, Dr. Stack immediately identified that as the potential “honeybee method” of spreading the virus. His colleagues at St. Joseph East quickly came up with a “don’t be a honeybee” t-shirt in his honor.

In his 2015 inaugural address to the AMA in Chicago, he said, “The emergency department is the great equalizer in the healthcare system...You quickly realize illness does not discriminate.” Stack has served as medical director of multiple emergency departments, including St. Joseph East (Lexington), St. Joseph Mt. Sterling (rural eastern Kentucky) and Baptist Memorial Hospital (Memphis, TN). He has more than 18 years of emergency medicine, administrative and clinical practice experience in Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee. In 2018, Stack joined The University of Tennessee Haslam College of Business as adjunct professor. In this role, he lectures on healthcare policy and the mechanics of advocacy to physicians in the Physician Executive MBA program as well as to both physician and non-physician healthcare
leaders enrolled in executive education programs. Stack has focused experience in health information technology (IT). A nationally recognized advocate, he bridges bedside care with governmental policy and served on numerous federal advisory committees for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology from 2010 2016. Additionally, he served from 2012 - 2016 as board member and secretary of eHealth Initiative, a Washington, DC-based non-profit association improving health care through the advancement of health IT. Stack is married and the proud father of one daughter. His wife, Tracie is a UK graduate and a practicing allergy/asthma/ immunology specialist. She holds both MD and PhD academic credentials. For fun, Stack enjoys the study of classical Greek and Roman and U.S. presidential history, photography, and traveling with his family. His press conferences are often peppered with references to his alma mater, Holy Cross, and his joy in the study of Latin. ☐

New at Vinaigrette Curbside salads with a side of TP and eggs BY KRISTINA ROSEN
B
ryce Anderson, co-founder of Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen, admits that even though he’s been in business for ten years, the first week of Kentucky’s in-person dining ban was the hardest week of his life as a business owner. Anderson has been in business for ten years and also owns Orange Leaf and Breakout Games among VSK. “This shows how fragile we are as humans. We realize we’re not invincible,” says Anderson. “It makes me more thankful for the people I work with, the employees, and being part of a good community like Lexington.” Anderson was forced to temporarily close three of the six Vinaigrette locations including downtown Lexington, Cincinnati, and Louisville. His focus is on making quick, wise decisions now so that he can reopen and remain strong when this is all over. With the recent suspension on in-person dining, he’s noticed that people are still nervous about eating food prepared outside their homes. It’s forced him to think of creative, fun ways for Vinaigrette to engage the local community. “Toilet paper is hard to find everywhere, so part of the fun is giving away a roll of toilet paper with every single order. Maybe it encourages people to order, but mostly it is to provide something people are having a tough time finding.” Along with a free roll of toilet paper with their order, customers have the option to buy a carton of 15 eggs at checkout on the app. Since no one is allowed inside the restaurant, drive up tents have been implemented at the Palomar and Hamburg locations to serve as makeshift drive thrus.
Free delivery is also available through the app or online ordering. Anderson believes free delivery is worth it for his customers because it allows them to stay in their homes, but still order takeout, support a local business, and receive healthy, fresh food. “No restaurant is making a profit. 100% of our sales are going to food tax and paying for employees.” The responsibility and risk of being an entrepreneur, especially in restaurants, is being responsible for the livelihoods of the crew. Anderson continues, “You have to take that responsibility seriously, but it’s hard when you have to close down a store, but [it’s]for the good of opening back up in a couple months.” “This situation is super hard and we don’t want to have to be forced into it, but when something difficult happens to the world, at first you start to care for how you will survive then you start to look at how you will provide for the people around you.” “Everyone is taking it on a week by week basis. We can’t plan for how long that will be.” The Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen locations at Palomar, Hamburg and Townley Center remained open at press.☐ hamburgjournal.com | April 2020

Healthy in Hamburg Healing in the Neighborhood with Sustaining Health Acupuncture
S
ustaining Health Acupuncture has always been in Hamburg (formerly in Stonecrest), but their new location in the Brighton Shoppes marks a significant expansion. In deciding to make the move, practice founder Dr. Jacqui Kinzig says, “When I began my practice in Lexington in 2012, I remember setting a goal of helping one person each week feel less pain. Over the next 8 years, the practice blossomed in such a way that required hiring another acupuncturist, then an office manager. Finally, just this year, we’ve hired another acupuncturist and moved into a new, larger office. While we have grown in size, our patient-first philosophy and family-like atmosphere have been maintained; we love developing a relationship with our patients. We take pride not only in the results we achieve for our clients, but also in the way we care for everyone.” Of course, no one expects a state-wide “Healthy at Home” shutdown in the middle of planning their Grand Opening and Open House, but Dr. Jacqui is taking it all in stride.
“We receive referrals from several different types of doctors to assist in managing their patients’ symptoms. In fact, we are one of the largest acupuncture providers for the Lexington Department of Veterans Affairs.”
Asked to share success stories, she says, “One of our patients actually just told us this week that when he started acupuncture, he was in so much pain and on so much medication that he had lost hope. He said acupuncture has ‘literally helped save his life.’ It still puts me in tears thinking about it! Currently, I have another patient who could hardly leave the house due to anxiety two months ago; now he is working a regular job. One time a patient called me in tears because she was so happy that her orthopedic surgeon had just cancelled her spinal surgery (a discectomy) since her symptoms were fully resolved after two months of acupuncture. I will also never get tired of seeing the look on a woman’s face when she finds out she is pregnant after being told she was unable to conceive via western medicine!”

r. Jacqui describes the practice as “a full-serve acupuncture clinic. That means that we offer not only acupuncture, but also dry needling, cupping, gua sha (also called scraping or
She says, “We can offer telephone or virtual herbal consultations while our office is closed to in-person visits. Herbal medicine can be used to support the immune system, help with stress or anxiety, treat headaches and pain, assist with coughs and other symptoms of illness, and much more. All three of our acupuncturists are able to prescribe Chinese herbs that can be delivered directly to a person’s home. Interested persons can simply email office@ sustaininghealthacupuncture.com to set up a consultation.”

bedwetting, PANS/PANDAS, problems with immunity, and headaches.” She adds, “Parents are often surprised at how open their children are to trying ‘taps!’ Acupuncture and Chinese herbs have a lower side effect profile than many other forms of treatment, which is one reason parents are drawn to our approach.”
“My husband and I chose to settle in Hamburg because we love how it’s almost like a city in and of itself. I love how Hamburg really does feel like a community. I can joke with our patients and neighbors that I try to avoid traveling anywhere that means crossing Alumni, and everyone understands.”

—Dr. Jacqui Kinzig believes that both western medicine and acupuncture have their place in society; neither is “better” than the other. Asked why patients often seek out a more integrative east-meets-west approach, she says, “Many of our patients seek acupuncture as an alternative to pain medication or to help delay (or sometimes even avoid) surgery. We also see patients for assistance managing side effects of their western medicine treatment, such as nausea, fatigue, or pain following medication for chemotherapy, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis. Acupuncture has also been shown to help manage chronic diseases such as hypertension, asthma, depression/anxiety, IBS, PANS/PANDAS, and atrial fibrillation. We receive referrals from several different types of doctors to assist in managing their patients’ symptoms. In fact, we are one of the largest acupuncture providers for the Lexington Department of Veterans Affairs.”

ustaining Health Acupuncture also offers pediatric care. For those who are curious about the reasons a parent might seek out acupuncture for their child, Kinzig responds, “The most common reasons we see children in our clinic are for the ‘Big A’s:’ ADHD, allergies, anxiety, and asthma. We have also successfully helped children manage digestive complaints (such as constipation or colic),
f you’ve ever considered acupuncture, but been a little nervous about needles, you wouldn’t be the first. Kinzig says, “One of the most common misconceptions out there is that acupuncture is painful. While it’s true that patients occasionally feel a slight pinch, many patients feel absolutely nothing throughout the process (Hayley from the Lee and Hayley show just demonstrated this on their show). It isn’t uncommon for people to fall asleep on the table! Another thing that often surprises people is the extent of our training. Entry level acupuncturists have at least three years of graduate school after undergrad; some of us go further to pursue a doctorate.” On a first visit, “patients can expect to spend time discussing not only their chief complaint, but the overall state of their health. One of the hallmarks of acupuncture is that we don’t treat any two patients the same —your points and treatment are usually selected based on what your body needs overall to help it heal, not based on a one size fits all protocol. This is what helps results last even after you’ve left our office for the last time! Your acupuncturist may also look at your tongue and pulse, which further helps us decide how best to treat you. You will then be placed in either a recliner or a padded massage table in order to receive treatment. Once the points have been placed, you are left to rest and doze for 20-30 minutes (depending on the patient and the condition being treated). You will
always have a buzzer that allows you to page us immediately if you need us (yes, even just to scratch your nose —it happens!). After your points are removed, you’ll want to take your time getting up — many people feel very relaxed after treatment. Even patients who are squeamish about needles usually do fine with acupuncture as long as they don’t watch. (Remember, we can fit 20 of our needles into the syringe you’re using to seeing at your doctor’s office.) However, for those too uncomfortable to try, we do have needle-free options: acupressure, manual therapy such as cupping or gua sha, or herbal therapy.”
K
inzig was born in Lexington but says, “my father was in the Air Force, so we moved away when I was young. I fell in love with Lexington again when I returned for college and always knew I’d move back after leaving for graduate school. My husband and I chose to settle in Hamburg because we love how it’s almost like a city in and of itself! The people here are so friendly, and it’s great getting to live and work in such a beautiful section of town.” She adds, “I love how Hamburg really does feel like a community. I can joke with our patients and neighbors that I try to avoid traveling anywhere that means crossing Alumni, and everyone understands!”☐

at-home Activities Games:
Charades: Use picture flashcards for younger players. Instead of using hand gestures to describe the category, simply say what it is (i.e. an animal, an object, a character, etc.). Remind children that pantomime means to describe with gestures and not words. Set a timer allowing a certain amount of time to describe the idea and when the time is up, the turn goes to the next team. Hokey-Pokey: Dance performed in a circle, or a song describing the simple movements of the dance. Everybody forms a circle. Example: “Put your left foot in, your left foot out, your left foot in and shake it all about, You do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about!” Hot Potato: Players gather in a circle and toss a small object such as a beanbag or even a real potato to each other while music plays. The player who is holding the object when the music stops is eliminated. How Do You Doo: Similar to name that tune, except you take turns seeing how many songs you can get your team to guess in 5 minutes by singing only the word “doo” to the tune of the song. Supplies: pencil, paper, and stopwatch. I Spy: One person spies something and keeps it a secret. The item must be something that all the other players can see, player describe by color, size etc. Words within a Word: Take a word like “weather”. See how many words you can make using only letters in the word. Example: we, at the her, wet, hat, wart art, there 1 point for 3 letter word, 2 points for 4 letter, 5 or more letter 3 points Word Chain: Choose a topic, such as food. The first person says a word, the second person says that word plus his own, the third person says the first two words plus their own, and so forth, continue until someone can no longer remember the word chain.
Rhythm Clapping Games: 1. Hit your upper chest with a fist or open palm. Boom! 2. Snap with your right hand. Snap! 3. Clap your hands together. Clap! Then do it double time Would you Rather: The more creative you are, the more fun this game can be. For this game, the players move to one side of the room or another depending on what they prefer given two options. For example, the first set of options might be wearing shoes or going barefoot. The person who is “it” would announce, “Would you rather wear shoes or go barefoot?” If your answer is you prefer to wear shoes, you would go to the left, but if you would rather be barefoot, you would go to the right. Keep track of the answers to see who has the most in common with each other.

How to Stay Healthy-at-Home
At Home Exercises with Olivia Jones.
Whether it’s quarantine or workfrom-home mandates, it’s important to maintain healthy routines, even if you aren’t able to observe your typical gym workouts and classes. Get enough sleep. The CDC recommends that adults get seven hours or more of sleep every night. To improve your sleep quality, try going to bed at the same time every night. If you need to rest, keep naps to 30 minutes or less. Exercise regularly to improve your mood and your health. Little or no activity can make you feel more sluggish and low on energy. If you can, clear a space in your home or in your backyard to do exercise. Consider dancing, floor exercises, yoga, using home equipment or using an instructional DVD/YouTube video. Stay in touch. Start a Google hangout with your co-workers, or FaceTime with your friends. If you use social media, that is a great way to keep in contact with your friends, family, and other social groups. Do calming activities that you enjoy. Cutting out the daily commute may give you more free time. Cozy up with a good book, learn a new skill, start a project you’ve been putting off, or listen to music.
Use everyday home items as workout equipment: • Weights • A backpack filled with books, zipped tight • Gallon jugs of milk/water/etc. • Full box of cat litter or something comparable • Benches • Stools or Chairs • Ottoman • Stairs
Pick a few of the following exercises, complete 8-12 reps each and repeat 3-5 times to make a circuit workout: • “Bench” Step-ups • “Bench” Tricep Dips • Gallon Curls • Gallon “Goblet” Squats • Backpack “Goblet” Squats • Backpack High Pulls • Backpack OH Hold Step-backs • Backpack Seated Twists You can find workout videos by Olivia on facebook @livfit or Instagram @_livfit
UK HealthCare offering Drive-Thru
COVID-19 Testing for Frontline Employees

U
K HealthCare is offering drive-thru testing for the COVID-19 coronavirus for its frontline employees and patient care providers. The drive-thru testing is at UK HealthCare Turfland and by appointment only for UKHC employees who are symptomatic but do not need inpatient care. Plans to expand testing to broader groups at UK HealthCare and the public will be considered once access to tests increases. “We want to make sure we take care of our employees so they can take care of our community,” said Dr. Mark Newman, University of Kentucky executive vice president for health affairs. “With the availability of tests and supplies, we are prioritizing testing for inpatients and health care employees who are symptomatic at this time.” Employees are being asked to fill out a survey and provide information if they are symptomatic with cough and fever, shortness of breath, muscle aches, or sore throat. Employees who have just returned from a level-three destination also can fill out a survey if they’re symptomatic. The information will be reviewed by a clinical team which will identify employees for the drive-thru testing.
Those employees will then be given an appointment for their test. About 100 health care employee appointments will be scheduled per day. However, the number of appointments scheduled will be closely linked with the availability of supplies. “This drive-thru screening is focused on our health care employees because they are at the most risk because they have the most contact with patients who have COVID-19 and we need to be able to get them back to work so that they can care for our patients,” said Dr. Sarah Schuetz, internal medicine physician at UK HealthCare and co-physician lead for drive-thru testing for COVID-19. “We do not want any of our health care workers feeling like they have to work when they are sick, and we want to be able to get them a diagnosis as quickly as possible.” Employees were undergoing training on Wednesday to care for those being tested in the drive-thru setting utilizing the appropriate protective equipment and supplies for employee and patient safety. Appointments for those being screened begin later this week. “We have provided each of the members of our clinical team with appropriate training, both in how to use our patient care systems as well as how to
approach patients coming through a drive-thru line,” said Dr. Kelli Trent, internal medicine and pediatric physician at UK HealthCare and co-physician lead for drive-thru testing for COVID-19. “Our staff have been excited to serve our colleagues that may become symptomatic in this time.” Testing will be done by appointment only for employees who have been pre-screened. To maintain the privacy of patients and employees, members of the public and news media are asked to not come to the drive-thru testing site and respect the privacy of patients just as they would in regular patient care facilities. “I would like to acknowledge our ambulatory team of clinicians and staff who have worked diligently to find creative and efficient solutions to provide testing as well as other patient cares services,” said John Phillips, UK HealthCare vice president for ambulatory services. “Our core focus during this unprecedented time is to keep our employees safe and healthy so we can continue to provide outstanding health care to all Kentuckians.”☐

Lexington has suspended Senior programing
Mayor Linda Gorton announced the city would suspend programs for senior citizens because of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). The programs include the Senior Center, the Charles Young Center, the Bell House, and the Black and Williams Center, which hosts Elder Crafters. “Senior adults and those with chronic health conditions are at higher risk for complications of COVID-19,” said Mayor Linda Gorton. “The CDC recommends people over the age of 60, and anyone with heart, lung or kidney disease, cancer or diabetes, stay at home as much as possible. We know this virus is most dangerous for our seniors. We need to take steps to protect them.” While the programming is suspended, the responsibilities of staff members have shifted to involve more outreach to seniors at home. Bluegrass Community Action Partnership, which works with the City, delivers lunch to seniors who depend on the meals at the Senior Center. Gorton said the programming will be reinstated as soon as possible. “We know our seniors enjoy these programs, and we hope to get them back on line as soon as we get past the threat of this virus,” she said. Currently, the 2020 I Know Expo that was scheduled for April 18 at the Lexington Senior Center, has been postponed until August 22.

Know Your Neighbor Meet I Know Expo founder Gale Ann Reece
B
y 2025, it is estimated that 24% of Fayette County will be 60 or over. Although this Spring’s senior living I Know Expo has been postponed til August, founder Gale Ann Reece is already excited about all the programming in store. More than 60 sponsors, exhibitors, and interesting speakers will gather in Lexington’s Senior Center in the heart of our neighborhood. (Hamburg Journal is a proud returning sponsor of the 2020 Expo.)
The crisis we prepare for is never the one we actually get, but if we all pull together, all generations, we will pull through this even stronger. Our elders remember other points of crisis —Pearl Harbor, Korea, Vietnam, Civil Rights Movement, 911, and the 2008 financial collapse just to mention a few.
20
What might be new about this year’s Expo? Reece says, “What I expect the difference to be is the focus of the guests and the exhibitors —looking at a ‘new normal’ in our country and our aging. The crisis we prepare for is never the one we actually get, but if we all pull together, all generations, we will pull through this even stronger. Our elders remember other points of crisis —Pearl Harbor, Korea, Vietnam, Civil Rights Movement, 911, and the 2008 financial collapse just to mention a few. What we will look like as a country/world by August 22 is still to be seen, but we are a strong people as evidenced in our elders and the support services that are available to them/us.” She says, “my hope and prayer hamburgjournal.com | April 2020
is that by August 22, we can see the peak of the virus in the rearview mirror and plan for the future of our aging — appreciating each day and moment of our lives.”
F
ifteen years ago, Reece left a small family business after 20 years, and says she asked herself, “‘What do I want to do when I grow up?’” She explains, “My grandparents were a tremendous influence on me when I was young. I went to the city Director of Aging Services and she helped me to identify a need and find a program to start in Lexington – ITNBluegrass (senior transportation). It took a couple of years to launch (legislative change, raising funds and hiring a team). In July of 2008, we gave our first ride. Today, after almost 11 years and over 70,000 rides ITNBluegrass is going strong.” The Independent Transportation Network® (ITN) is dedicated to providing dignified transportation. Older adults join ITNBluegrass and become dues-paying members of an organization committed to their mobility. When they pick up the telephone to schedule a ride, they are not asking a favor. ITNBluegrass is a nonprofit built to ease the transition from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat.
A
s to how the idea for a conference developed, she says, “During those early years with ITNBluegrass, we noticed other needs in our membership. Adult children and members themselves called to ask about other elder services and we had no idea how to direct them. So, in 2012, we launched the i know expo to bring together caregivers, elders, and those with disabilities with services in Kentucky.” The 2020 Expo will be the second year in our neighborhood. Reece says, “The Lexington Center was a superb location our first six years.
Once the new Senior Center was built, the accessibility of the building and convenient parking made it far more favorable to our vendors and guests.” Recalling success stories from the early years, she remembers, “Our very first expo in 2012, we had a pair of sisters caring for their father who was an ITN member. They cried as they thanked us for putting all these resources together in one place.” She recalls, “an attorney, who is one of the most brilliant people I know, did not have a clue how to navigate the care of his mother in the first signs of dementia, living in her own home, and one of ITN’s first clients.” And she can’t forget “an event coordinator who was struggling with her father and his growing dementia. He had been lost on the interstate driving to Tennessee during our planning. Now she was able to discuss her issues and concerns in one place, one time with professionals.”
R
eece says, “What we are seeing as of a month ago, was older adults staying in the workforce much longer than in the past, many for financial reasons. In today’s world, there are not many people retiring with good solid pensions as past generations have had.”
One of the challenges we have had staying in the workforce is the speed at which technology is moving. When I was building our family storage business, we designed our own software with a local developer and did not dare touch anything on the screen other than as directed. Today, I do not think to play around with the software to discover what it can do. So it is a harder learning curve for us.” But seniors bring unique assets in the workplace as well. She says, “What we bring to the workforce is the ability to apply past experience to solve issues, especially involving relationships with customers and fellow team members. This ‘wisdom’ comes with age and experience.” She says, “Our challenge when this crisis is waning is restoring and rebuilding the workforce. I do not know how that is going to affect older adults. One thing I do know is that older adults are essential to our nonprofit organizations and volunteer communities.” The I Know Expo is scheduled for August 22 at the Lexington Senior Center. HJ will be profiling various vendors, exhibitors, and sponsors in the issues leading up to this year’s Expo. ☐

FOOD
Easter Lamb BY TOM YATES
A
s a kid, when Easter rolled around, I was a lamb-loving boy in a ham-loving family. I had a steep learning curve when my father retired from the army and we settled onto the family farm in Kentucky. Leaving the grandeur of Vienna and the starkness of Ethiopia for a much different life on a lakeside farm was overwhelming, to say the least. In the blink of an eye, life changed. I swapped my lederhosen for overalls, schnitzel for fried pork chops, and the Red Sea for a quiet Kentucky lake. It didn’t take long for me to relish farm life. With rolling hills, windswept meadows, patches of shade trees, and a pristine lake, the farm was a lush playground for a weary retired kid. The roaming cattle, pecking chickens, vegetable gardens, ham shed, crooked red barn, apple trees, grape vines, tractors, barbed wire, and murky pond were all the stuff of dreams. My grandparents stockpiled food out of necessity. We had blocks of government cheese neatly stacked in our refrigerator, a dank dark cellar lined from floor to ceiling with dusty jars of garden jewels, and ‘Not For Sale’ beef stashed in freezers from the very cows we regrettably named and loved. Still, with all of

that beef stowed away and our coffers filled to the brim, we were ham people. Big time ham people. Go figure. Don’t get me wrong, I loved each and every sticky glazed, cola braised, and crispy fried shred of ham. It’s just that by the time Easter rolled around, I didn’t crave ham. I craved my lost lamb, Frau Olga’s Easter lamb. When I eventually moved away from the farm, I carried my familial love of ham and my familiar quest for Easter lamb right along with me. Herb Crusted Crown Rack Of Lamb Crown rack of lamb is a glorious thing. While almost any reputable butcher would be more than happy to fashion a crown rack of lamb, it’s fairly simple to throw together. A little prep goes a long way for a big payoff. I positioned two frenched racks of lamb (1 1/2 pounds each with 8 rib chops per rack) flesh side down side by side on a large cutting board. After slicing small slits between the rib bones for easy bending, I stitched the two racks together where they met using kitchen twine and a butcher’s needle. I flipped the joined racks over, pulled the ends of the racks together ( loin side facing in) until they met, and secured the loose ends with additional twine. After forming the racks into the shape of a crown, I double looped the base of the crown with twine, pulled it taut, tied it up, trimmed the loose twine,
and showered the meat with salt and pepper before setting the lamb aside. I mixed 1/2 cup dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons local honey, and 1 tablespoon Makers Mark bourbon until combined before slathering the sweet boozy mustard over the outer side of the lamb. After combining 4 minced garlic cloves, 4 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, 3 tablespoons minced fresh thyme, and 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary to form a lose paste, I patted the garlicky herbs over the mustard coating before placing the crown rack on top of a bed of chopped carrots, leeks, celery, and onions scattered willy-nilly in a large cast iron skillet. After adding 1/2 cup white wine to the skillet, I drizzled the lamb with olive oil, slipped aluminum foil caps over each of the exposed rib bones to prevent over browning, and slid the crown rack of lamb into a preheated 425 degree oven for about 40 minutes. When the lamb reached an internal temp of 130 degrees, I pulled it from the oven to rest, removed the pieces of foil, and strained the pan juices to serve alongside the lamb. After a 10 minute rest, I filled the cavity of the lamb with minted basmati rice and nestled the crown rack onto a bed of perky pea shoots and watercress before finishing with a shaved vegetable salad, slivered shallots, and crunchy fresh radishes.
Update on the Humane Society
Your pet is essential
Matt Wells
Lexington Humane Society suspended their volunteer program in all areas on Tuesday, March 17. The main adoption campus on Old Frankfort Pike is closed, but is assessing the possibility of adoptions by appointment. The Everyday Adoption Center at PetSmart in Hamburg expects to remain open, but those wanting to adopt must be preapproved and have a specific animal in mind to schedule an inperson visit. If you are interested in adopting, pictures of each animal can be found on the Lexington Humane Society’s website.
Even though PetSuites’ main lobby is closed to the public, they are still here for the Hamburg community. Their resort remains open for your fourlegged friends and they are offering a discount to essential employees. Staff at PetSuites are taking every precaution to keep you and your pets safe and healthy.
“We understand that these are ‘ruff’ times so we are here to support you and your furry family in any way we can,” says Frances Ankeny, of PetSuites in Hamburg. “We have taken extra precautions such as doing curbside service only for our pet parents and also stepping up our already rigorous cleaning routine. We also mist all collars and leashes with our hospital grade disinfectant and we are ensuring that we are washing our hands after every guest interaction.”
