TAKING THE SLOW, SCENIC ROUTE BY ROBIN GANT PHOTOS BY SARAH JANE SANDERS
For some, crossing the state on horseback might inspire visions of early settlers in the 1800s. One look at the modern-day outfit three Kentucky women recently put together for such a journey, however, dispels that picture – in about as much time as it takes to hit the “send” button.
G
inny Grulke, Edith Conyers and Anne Husted spent months planning their 12-day, 137-mile trek, which took place in September and was geared in large part to raise awareness for the Kentucky Back Country Horsemen (KyBCH), a service organization dedicated to protecting trails and equestrian access to public lands. A 60-foot RV accompanied a horse-drawn carriage that features a fold-out bed, inflatable rubber tires and a solar panel (to power a charger for electronic devices) – a dead giveaway this trip was made in 2014 rather than 1814. But while it had its modern amenities, the journey was still more parts “adventure” than “luxury.”
Kentucky Back Country Horsemen president Ginny Grulke prepping supplies for her 12-day horseback journey across eastern Kentucky, which took place last month.
Planning the route and finding overnight accommodations fit for the rig, three horses (that needed enough space to be high-lined between two trees) and the carriage were the first of many logistical challenges. The trio found campsites ahead of time by writing down addresses and knocking on doors.

“We drove the route first, and we would track our mileage,” explained Grulke, who lives in Lexington. “Our goal was to go between 10 and 15 miles a day – once we hit the 10-mile mark, we’d start looking for flat spots.”
ing the RV when time allowed (which is turns out, it often did not).
Most homeowners they encountered were willing to let the women stay on their property once the Cross Kentucky Ride was explained. For the elevennight itinerary, they found nine stops – including private residences and church picnic areas and parking lots – and built in two rest days.
Grulke rode Stormy, her Morgan horse, and Conyers drove a carriage pulled by Tig and Charlie, a team of Halflinger ponies. Since the horses were in a walking gait for three or four hours a day on paved roads, they wore DrillTex shoes, which have texture applied to the bottom for better gripping on pavement. Conyers’ farrier was on call, and they carried an EZ boot (which eliminates pressure on the heel) for emergencies.
Grulke and Conyers originally planned on camping in tents but quickly changed their minds after Husted offered to drive an RV. She also hauled the hay, the horse trailer, and unhitched the truck to shop for food along the route; she hauled her bicycle, as well, so she could ride back to meet the ladies on horse after park-
The three horses had never traveled together, though all were fit enough for longer distances than the planned 10 miles a day. Stormy was accustomed to six-hour trail rides over mountains, and the Halflinger team has driven the carriage over 100 miles. One of the biggest preparations was introducing Stormy to the carriage.

“I feel like the riding of horses is a dying art. The average person sees a horse in a field – a racehorse or broodmare – and they really don’t think that anybody can afford to ride horses any more. I think it’s a shame to let this die.” GINNY GRULKE, PRESIDENT OF KENTUCKY BACK COUNTRY HORSEMEN
With the help of their smart phones and tablets, Grulke was able to update her blog throughout the trip, documenting daily trials and tribulations that ranged from flat tires and generators that wouldn’t start, to horses that got loose from their picket and non-functioning carriage brakes.
The idea for a cross-country ride was born out of a desire to do something fun and different. To benefit the Kentucky Back Country Horsemen, the trip needed to take place in rural Kentucky. “I feel like the riding of horses is a dying art,” said Grulke. “The average
person sees a horse in a field – a racehorse or broodmare – and they really don’t think that anybody can afford to ride horses any more. I think it’s a shame to let this die.” Grulke, who was elected as this year’s president of KyBCH, wants to promote not only the responsibility
and the sport of horseback riding, but also the fun. “People walk up to horses a little bit afraid, but they don’t realize when you ride the same horse over and over again you bond with them,” she said. Grulke and Conyers first met in 2007, when the Kentucky Horse Council

called together trail riders to form KyBCH. Grulke was named president of the central Kentucky chapter at that first meeting, and five other chapters around the state have developed since. In the beginning, KyBCH focused primarily on recruiting trail riders; today, the organization helps maintain the over 6,700 miles of Kentucky trails. “The work we do isn’t just for horsemen,” Grulke said. “Everybody benefits because everybody uses the trails.” Many riding trails are on public lands and are used by mountain bikers and hikers. “We want trail riders and horse people to give back to the land they ride on,” Grulke said, adding that trails can become muddy, eroded and overgrown, with sediment running off into creeks and streams. Each KyBCH chapter is assigned specific trails and work days, and they cooperate with the land managers of each park to help alleviate the crunch of budget cuts. Because not many horse trails exist in Fayette and surrounding counties, the central Kentucky chapter helps other parts of the state, also maintaining the cross-country course at Life Adventure Center in Versailles. A chapter goal is to increase interest in horseback riding among youth, and LAC offers programs for children and youth. While the Cross Country Ride didn’t have sponsorship, the women hoped the trip would bring in at least $500 through donations to the KyBCH general fund, which doesn’t have a fundraising mechanism at this time. As Grulke explained, fundraising “was kind of a second thought…we planned the ride before we decided to ask for donations.” Donations are still being accepted at the Cross Kentucky Ride blog, which also features daily updates and photos from the journey. (www.crossky ride.wordpress.com) The three ladies are planning a spring 2015 ride that will take them from Sadieville to the Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site. Finding campsites will be less of a hurdle now that the three have experience – that means more time to enjoy the scenic beauty of back country Kentucky.

hen Billy and Liz Toombs were looking for a perfect townhouse to settle into for the long haul, looking past dated 1970s decor was a piece of cake due to Liz’s professional design expertise. “I was always on the path to end up doing this,” said Toombs about remodeling and redecorating her 2,800-square-foot condo near Kirklevington Park. The Louisville native and Lexington transplant, who majored in textiles at the University of Kentucky, previously sold countertops and worked in several capacities with designers and Realtors and ultimately settled into owning her own interior design businesses – Polka Dots and Rosebuds, which opened in 2009, and Out of the Box Room Design, which opened in 2012. Today, Toombs applies her passion and expertise for design into transforming her own home. Still a work in progress, the home already has undergone some big changes. Toombs urges people, when looking to buy a home that already has been lived in, to pay attention to important details of the home’s structure, layout and “bones,” without getting distracted by any “ugliness or flash.” In the Toombs’ case, that meant overlooking dated parquet floors, peach walls, oppressive plastic grates in parts of the ceiling, dark laminate kitchen cabinets, an overgrown outdoor living space and shag carpets.
Features such as built-in shelving on several walls throughout the home made the condo a good fit for the couple, especially for Toombs’ home office.
“But there were these details, like the spindles – I loved these big chunky spindles,” she said pointing to the white-and-black wooden spindles lining the staircase down to the finished basement and separating the dining room from the living room. “They were done well. The house had crown moulding, and someone put some time and effort into doing things. And it was very well laid out. I tend to look more at the footprint of the house, because that’s the most expensive thing to change.”

The 1970s-era condo proved to be a perfect opportunity for modern updates, with little renovation work required. Toombs incorporated some of her favorite design tricks, like elevated, shortened curtain rods to create a more dramatic look, and thoughtfully designed vignettes.
Getting started on the remodeling and redecorating was a no-brainer for Toombs. “I knew we wanted our bedroom to be that sort of aqua color,” she said. “We had a similar shade in our old house, and I always felt very relaxed when I went in there, which is the whole point – to go into your bedroom and be able to kind of melt away. That was a sure thing, and I wanted it to go into the master bathroom, because if you change up the color from your master bedroom to bathroom it feels very choppy and I wanted it to feel like one big suite.” Throughout the house, all of the trim is painted white. “Before that, everything was peach, and they had green and orange, too, throughout the house,” she said. The interior doors were painted black, which Toombs described as adding drama and an extra unique finish to the home.
From there, each room was tackled individually, bringing in some neutral staple pieces – like the sofas – from their old condo. “I wanted to find a fun rug, and I knew the yellow chairs were coming, so I just had to tie it all together with accessories and drapes,” Toombs said. The living room fit Toombs’ signature style of clean lines and modern aesthetics, while the dining room was finished out in a more classic look with an Oriental-style rug and solid-wood furniture. “I just wanted to soften it as much as possible,” she said. “In your dining room you have so many wooden pieces, so we needed a good rug.” The home’s semi-open floor plan is a cross between modern and oldfashioned. There is little overhead lighting, and Toombs utilizes lamps to create what she calls “layers of ambient light” to complement the ample window light.

Seven Tips to Give your Space New Life for Fall Transitioning your home for autumn does not have to be stressful. Liz Toombs provides seven tips on how to freshen up interiors for the fall season, without spending a bundle. 1. Pumpkins with panache. You don’t
have to go the traditional route with pumpkins – glass designs can blend in with your décor. Freshen up older pumpkins by paining or adding glitter. When displaying pumpkins, less is more. They have more impact when grouped in two to three areas instead of being spread around a room.
Above: The dining room’s tray ceiling will be extended to create a higher ceiling throughout the room and turning the corner into the kitchen. Below: The Toombs’ revitalized the previously severely overgrown outdoor living space with brick, stone and thoughtfully planned landscaping that includes driftwood from trips to the lake.
Another draw of the home is the large room in the back for Toombs’ business headquarters. The young couple knew they wanted to stay here for a long time, and having a home where they can live all on one floor without needing to go to the fully finished basement – which includes an extra living room space and a
guest suite – was a huge draw. The backyard/patio is entirely enclosed but creates a perfect space for entertaining. Going for “hands-off landscaping” accented with unique touches, Toombs used metal feed troughs and galvanized buckets to hold her boxwoods, wisteria, gardenias and hydrangeas. The couple filled in
the spaces between buckets with personal touches that include driftwood from their frequent lake trips, and gardenias, which pay homage to her late mother. The Toombs also have furniture that has been repurposed or reupholstered from their parents’ and grandparents’ homes to add personal touches and to tell a story. cc
2. Warm up pillows and bedding. Chenille and wool are welcoming fabrics for cooler temps. Look for pillows and bedding in those fabrics and in warm colors, including orange and purple. And, if you want to follow design trends, pillows are an inexpensive way to do so. 3. Orange does not have to scream “Halloween.” As the daylight hours
grow shorter, a lot of people like to brighten up their homes. Orange is a perfect pop of color on pillows, throws, bedding and accessories. 4. Group your artwork. Pictures and
artwork are more impactful when clustered together on one wall versus spread out individually. Don’t be afraid to mix various-sized items together. You can even use groupings to hide unsightly elements like a thermostat. 5. Avoid matchy-matchy. The shabby chic look of mixed finishes is in and it’s simple to create. You can rough-up furniture and/or use chalk paint to create a distressed finish. For example, a TV console can be covered in chalk paint, while end tables have a wood finish. When a room has the same finishes, it can look forced. 6. Layer your lighting. Add new lamps
or move existing ones around within your space. And, candles are an inexpensive way to add ambiance, warmth and a nice scent that is reminiscent of the season. 7. Mix textures and layers. Mix it up! Mixing wood, metal and glass elements really pulls a room together. When mixing patterns, the trick is to use patterns of different scales that have one or two similar colors in them. The colors will keep the effect cohesive. cc

implicity is often key in art and music, and Lexington artist and musician Nate Hensley enjoys the challenge of “taking something simple and making it look like it didn’t come off the shelf.”
“I always liked making stuff as a kid but wasn’t sure where that would lead,” Hensley said. As it turns out, his penchant for “making stuff” has led him to opening his own metal studio on Lee Street, where he has created custom work for a diverse roster of clientele in recent years. Though his face might be most recognizable as a member of Lexington mainstay band The Other Brothers, which he co-founded with with his brother Gabe in 2001, Hensley’s behind-the-scenes handiwork has enhanced many familiar Lexington businesses, from dive bars to children’s gardens. Hensley etched mirrors at Sidebar and Green Lantern, as well as logos
Hensley fashioned the custom metal work on the facade for Sixth Street retail shop Fox House Vintage.

on the doors of The Cheesecake Factory, set to open later this month; he also created the metal gate on the Children’s Garden at the Arboretum, and the gate and mirrors for Blue Stallion Brewery. Other Hensley Studio creations include the storefront and stools for County Club; bar stools, benches and signage for Paris’s Rooster Brewing; the mirrors and gate for Blue Stallion; the railing of a patio behind Nick Ryan’s; and the marquee for Belle’s Bar. National Beer Hall owes much of its design to Hensley, as he worked on two large windows, storefront doors and the shelving behind the beer taps, and business is still thriving – he was recently commissioned by Burnett Sons to do the signage for the new Art Building at the University of Kentucky, his alma mater. Hensley attended UK on a trackand-field scholarship and initially thought about pursing a degree in chemical engineering. Being advised that engineering and athletics could be a difficult match (due to the demands of both focuses), he considered architecture for a stint, ultimately deciding on graphic design. The university’s fine arts program proved to be the training ground Hensley needed, and after taking a variety of classes within the program, he found himself drawn to metal work. “I was always working on sculpture and fell into kind of a niche,” said Hensley, who graduated from UK with a fine arts degree in graphic design and sculpture in 2004. “There is a strong community of MFA students at UK – I still go over there and hang out,” he added. “We still get together and are involved in each other’s lives.” After graduating, Hensley moved to Pittsburgh for five years to play bass in a band called The Yards. Despite the success that the band garnered – including an appearance on the Carson Daly show, two opening slots for Bon Jovi and recording in some rather posh studios in L.A. – the group disbanded, leaving Hensley to focus more heavily on his other art. He worked for a time with Emerald

Why isn’t “phonetic” spelled the way it sounds? Creative kids are on an eager quest for new ways and ideas. This might mean inventing a new word that actually sounds the way it’s spelled.

Hensley’s face is most recognizable to many as the bass player for The Other Brothers, the band he co-founded with his brother in 2001.
“I always liked making stuff as a kid but wasn’t sure where that would lead.” NATE HENSLEY
Art Glass, designing stained-glass windows and etching. He later refined his skills in metal work at Technique Architectural – a custom fabrication shop that laid much of the groundwork for the work he does today. In 2009 he answered a longtime yearning to return to his roots in Kentucky. After working for a few years at Tuska Foundry (now Prometheus Foundry), where he primarily created bronze equestrianthemed art as well as John Tuska reproductions, he created Hensley Custom Studio. Music continues to be his other passion. His band, The Other Brothers – a mix of honky tonk, country and singer/songwriter music – is popular around town and released its second album, “High Life ‘n’ Leisure Class” a couple of years ago. Their influences include the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Taking a hiatus until 2015 while his brother welcomes a new baby to the family, Hensley hopes to be back in the studio soon. The marriage of art and music comes easily to Hensley. “A lot of my art involves music. It’s not too conceptual. It is object oriented; there is some sort of meaning, but really the art is in the piece itself.” Hensley credits his success to current trends in art. “There is a new wave of simple designs across the country,” he said. As for the future, he hopes to hire an apprentice and take some time to enjoy the little things along the way. cc

reatures crawl in search of blood ... to terrorize y’all’s neighborhood.”
Everybody who’s into Lexington’s annual Thriller event has their own secret to what makes a great zombie. Here’s mine: Fall down a lot. That’s what I did as an original zombie (“O.Z.”) back in 2002. Here’s why: Falling down tends to scare the heck out of people. Especially if the falling zombie person manages, say, to graze an innocent bystander ankle or an exposed foot. Turns out, people will get the hell away from you double-quick if you’re dressed in a flame-broiled Goodwill suit and you fall down within arm’s reach. Falling down is also convenient because it provides an opportunity for a quick rest. Because being a zombie is hard work. Many people don’t realize that. Now in its 13th year, the Thriller Parade is a lurching Lexington institution. What started as something of smirky excuse for a public dance performance has staggered into a destination event, attracting tens of thousands of onlookers to Lexington’s Main Street for one night of ghoulish revelry, complete with citysanctioned closed streets, a fullblown parade with floats and bands and – at the epicenter – a live re-enactment of Michael Jackson’s 1983 “Thriller” music video, featuring hundreds of zombie dancers. How did this happen? “It’s a perfect example of a group having a great idea and not asking anybody to make it happen for them,” said Lori Houlihan, the special events liaison to the mayor’s office. She’s referring to Mecca Live Studio & Gallery, the fresh, original brains behind the idea back in 2002. Houlihan – who has been an offand-on participant since the earliest days of the fete – sees it as a unique form of civic pride. “The Thriller parade was started locally by citizens who wanted to do something fun for the community,” she said. It reached new heights when the city decided to take a stake, as Parks & Recreation’s cultural arts director Amber Luallen explains.

“The event has grown from one Michael, Ola [MJ’s traumatized video girlfriend] and small group of zombies, to this year’s six Michaels and sets of dancers over five city blocks,” Luallen said. “We have gone from one sound system on a truck that followed the group to eight systems lining the parade route. And we’ve added to the festivities with a Halloween parade and an expanded the stage show of Halloween-inspired dancers.” ‘Time to dance, dead people!’ That’s the intro to the email— the first of many communiqués to the many hundreds who get a gleam in their eye at the prospect of fake blood and funereal-chic fashion. The call to action is classic Mecca irreverence, a mischievous tone that belies how much work and coordination go into creating something this colossal. Behind the blood, the gashes and dangling limbs, it’s always been about nurturing community. Edward Mackey, a city engineer and longtime participant, sees it like this: “Thriller embodies a communal, almost tribal dance that only lasts five minutes, but results in a lifetime of memories. We become friends and create an amazing mix of grandparents dancing with their kids and teenagers [who were] born after the song was popularized just now awakening to the sound of another era as if it were a Facebook post.” Mel Smyth, Mecca’s “zombie wrangler” for the thousand-plus participants, agrees: “It’s about Michael, but it’s also about reverence to a culture and process that has shaped us, and exploring that concept without boundaries to engage people in building new relationships with themselves, each other and their public spaces.” “And brains,” she added. (I’m pretty sure she meant to say fresh brains.) Not just the kind you eat, if that’s your thing – and on Thriller night, that’s definitely your thing – but the kind that make this sort of thing happen. The kind of brains that give Lexington one more reason to, uh, stagger proud. Luallen agrees. “I hope the public sees how much time, energy and enthusiasm goes into this event or how important it is to us to bring these memorable moments to peo-

ple,” she said. “If they could see the beehive working on everything – like a crew of people sculpting reindeer skeletons for a Nightmare Before Christmas float, or how excited we are to find someone with a horse who is willing to be the Headless Horseman. Seeing people in the crowd get so excited and have so much fun makes it all worth it.”

‘And whosoever shall be found, without the soul for getting down…’ Performing Thriller has become an international phenomenon, as any YouTube search will prove. So it’s hard not to wonder: Did Mecca do this weird thing first – Thriller as community event/performance? None of the organizers will cop to stating that definitely, but one thing’s for sure: YouTube was three years away in 2002, when the first Lexington Thriller event was hatched. And the idea to do a re-creation of the famous dance wasn’t inspired by seeing anybody else do it, according to Teresa Tomb, owner of Mecca. “We just thought it would be funny,” Tomb said. “Our first Thriller was just about 50 zombies who pooled their money to pay for public street access, just to see if anyone would show up for their little joke.”

This year, Mecca hosted an audition event for the first time, inviting aspiring Michaels to prove their moves in front of a panel of judges and audience. It’s a funny evening of friendly, supportive competition – just the kind of energy that Mecca is so good at nurturing. It’s also kind of a family reunion, with the majority of the Michaels being veterans of past Thriller years. It’s classic Mecca – the sort of thing that’s designed, first, to edify the participants and, second, to delight onlookers. And that’s probably why the Thriller Parade has metastasized to such epic proportions in its 13 years downtown. It’s the product of “elbow grease and zombie love,” Smyth
said. “Many similar parades are now happening all over the world, and last year in Lexington we had 1,200 zombies register for participation.” That’s just zombies – not onlookers, which are expected to exceed 15,000 according to the parade permit. At the end of audition night — and Thriller night on Oct. 26 — it’s camaraderie that’s most apparent. And once again this year, Mecca turns gore into glee and downtown Lexington into an undead wonderland as “night creatures call and the dead start to walk in their masquerade.” ‘Cuz this is Thriller… Thriller night…’ cc

Five things you didn’t know about the Thriller Zombie March:
PHOTOS BY ESTILL ROBINSON
1. Integral to the performance is a live broadcast of the song on University of Kentucky’s college radio station WRFL 88.1 FM. The performance relies on this broadcast to power the sound for the entire performance and has since day one. 2. The first female to play the role of Michael, Courtney Cummings, was cast in 2013. 3. Lexington is widely considered to be the first city to produce a Thriller event. Since then the event has become an international phenomenon with events like "Thrill the World," an annual worldwide simultaneous dance. 4. The original Lexington cast was made up of 50 zombies and one Michael, played by Micah Isaacs. Today the event has up to six Michael and "Ola" couples, who start in the street all at the same time — no matter where you are along the parade route you will get to see the “beginning.” 5. The band Of Montreal played the Thriller afterparty at Mecca Studio in 2002, the first year.
You can dance if you want to Become a Thriller zombie — no previous experience required! The public is invited to become undead for the annual Thriller march. Zombies are asked to participate in at least one regular rehearsal and one staging rehearsal before the final performance; rehearsals are held several times throughout the week throughout September and October, and the entire dance routine is broken down and taught at each regular rehearsal. Deadline to participate as a zombie is Oct. 18. For more information, visit www.meccadance.com. cc

T
his is a trip I’ve taken before in this column, but my rare journeys as a passenger in somebody’s car leave me astounded at the changes downtown has seen from back when we were a “little” town. On the Library channel (that’s Channel 20 on my TV) – a place to which I often escape from inanities on other channels – I’ve watched repeated local shows about Lexington during and before World War 2. Among the comments of the participants are various descriptions of what we wore when we went downtown (hats and gloves), and memories of seeing everybody we knew when we went downtown. Downtown was featured prominently – that was the place to be. Fortunately, the advent of the malls and the expansion of Lexington have not made downtown a desert as in many other places, but it really is different from the center of our lives that it used to be. Now, to be dressed as we considered “proper” then would mean we were going to a funeral, and a walk down Main Street from Rose to Broadway would encounter only strange faces. Hardly anyone goes shopping downtown. That’s where we sometimes go to restaurants or to see a lawyer, despite valiant efforts to return downtown to an integral part of our lives.
I recently spoke to another old resident, Norman Drake, about his memories, some of which matched mine and some we did not share. The movie houses downtown were the Kentucky and the State (now part of the Kentucky), the Ben Ali (with its three balconies!), the Strand, all located east of Limestone. There were two I was not allowed to enter: the Ala Meade and the really decrepit Opera House, now remodeled and refurbished. Town ended for Mr. Drake at Rosemont Garden, while town ended for me on Tates Creek Pike, two blocks after it left Euclid Avenue.
Entertainment meant the movies, a concert or a play provided by the university, or a trip to Joyland Park. Mr. Drake remembered that a bus ride to the movies cost a nickel, the movie cost fifteen cents, a drink was a nickel, as was the ride home on the bus, and you got home with change left from a dollar. I remember the streetcar that ran on Main Street and turned around at Hanover Avenue, although I don’t remember actually taking the streetcar: When I went downtown to the movies it was by bus. Now the options for entertainment are so many and so varied that a whole section of the Friday paper is needed to describe them. We were the city and the county then – different governments, different schools. I went to city schools – Ashland, Morton, Henry Clay. Mr. Drake went to county schools – Little Picadome, Big Picadome, and Lafayette. Our paths never crossed. Our schools were neighborhood, and we got there the best way we could. The Catholics had their own schools and the university ran its Training School (U High). I have read the obituaries every day for all my adult years. There were always people I knew from having gone to school with them. In my mind the dead were labeled: those whose names or relatives I knew, those who went to county schools or those who came here with IBM, the great change agent for Lexington. Now, most of the names are strange to me and the categories are too many to label. A fairly frequent comment I hear is: “You’ve always lived here? Really?” I have become the strange one in my own place –outnumbered by newcomers. And our small town has become a city. cc

Transparent puddings with Kentucky Sauce and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream BY BARBARA LOUISE GOLDMAN
PHOTO BY SARAH JANE SANDERS
As a native to Maysville, Ky., I have been close friends with the transparent pudding my entire life. This delicious sugary tart is a welcome tongue-melting treat any time of year, any time of day. One of the perks of being a chef at Parc Cafè in my hometown is being within driving distance of my grandmother and her amazing tin box filled with recipes. You would never know by looking at the aged and humble green tin, but it is truly a treasure trove of memories and countless inspirations. That box was the source of this recipe for Kentucky sauce, a delicious strawberry bourbon treat that goes perfectly over ice cream.
Pie crust
Transparent filler
Kentucky Sauce
• 2 cups flour • 1 tablespoons butter • 2 tablespoons shortening • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 5 tablespoons iced water
• 4 eggs • 1 cup butter (2 sticks), cut into pieces • 2 cups sugar • 1/4 cup heavy cream • 4-6 tablespoons light corn syrup • 1 teaspoon vanilla • 1 teaspoon salt • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup brown sugar • 1 cup white sugar • 1 cup water • 1 cup pecans, broken • 1 cup strawberry preserves • 1 orange • 1 lemon • 1 cup bourbon
Combine flour and salt. Cut butter and shortening into flour. Add water one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition. Roll on floured surface. Take a small ball of dough, roll to 1/16 inch thickness and place in tin, forming to sides. Trim edges. Bake for five minutes prior to filling with transparent pudding.
Beat eggs, add sugar and butter, corn syrup, vinegar and vanilla. Cook in double boiler until sugar is dissolved. Fill each pie crust shell 2/3 full and cook at 350 degrees. Carefully watch; cook until firm (usually about 25 minutes).
Combine sugars with water and cook until syrup reached 240 degrees. Test with candy thermometer – should be almost, but not quite, thread-like. Remove from heat, stir in pecans and preserves. Remove rind from orange and lemon; chop finely. Cut off and discard white membrane and remove sections from fruit; cut sections into small pieces. Add rind, fruit and bourbon to nut and preserves mixture. (Yields one quart and keeps indefinitely.) cc

Chevy Chaser’s Drink of the Month
Triple Kiss RECIPE CREATED BY ELIXIR ALCHEMIST SHAYNE BATES AT ENOTECA PHOTO BY SARAH JANE SANDERS
This is a riff on the classic ladies’ drink Sex On The Beach. We deconstructed it and kept the main components separate so you can see all the layers – all three kisses. Orange juice is replaced with curaçao; cranberry juice replaced with pomegranate grenadine, to create a great cocktail, for women and men alike. Who doesn’t love kisses?
Ingredients • 3/4 oz. creme de cassis • 1/2 oz. pomegranate grenadine (we use Jack Rudy’s Grenadine made from California pomegranate) • 1 oz. pineapple juice • 1oz. Rain vodka or your favorite • 1/3 oz. dry Curaçao 1. In a rocks glass with ice, add creme de cassis. 2. Then stack the pomegranite grenadine (pouring over the back of a spoon so as to not mix). 3. In a separate shaker, mix the pineapple juice, vodka and Curaçao. 4. Stir together, then stack on top of the grenadine. cc
