"I was raised in Kentucky, and this is as close to the original recipe (from the Brown Hotel in Louisville) as I've ever tasted. You can substitute cheddar cheese if you like, but the swiss makes it more like the original dish."

I'm a 37 year-old American living in Georgia. I'm a flight attendant. I still prefer "stewardess". <a href="http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/flying%20stuff/?action=view¤t=JFK_traffic.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/flying%20stuff/JFK_traffic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> I'm not home as often as I would like to be; but on my days off, you can nearly always find me happily buried in the kitchen. I am engaged to a wonderful man, who is an exceptional artist. Here's a taste: <a href="http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/?action=view¤t=Bunnicula_by_SPOOKYCOpng.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/Bunnicula_by_SPOOKYCOpng.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Gives a whole new meaning to the thought of having rabbit, doesn't it? Well, he's a big fan of eating, so I decided to marry him on October 27th, 2008. <a href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/wedding%20bouquet/happyeverafterweddings/bouquet.jpg?o=81" target="_blank"><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/happyeverafterweddings/bouquet.jpg"></a> We love to watch zombie movies late at night, eat banana pancakes for breakfast, and watch the sunset on the deck while I have a vodka. My darling likes to call this "Playing Russian Spy Flight Attendant". <a href="http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/flying%20stuff/?action=view¤t=399592674_113be463f8_o.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/flying%20stuff/399592674_113be463f8_o.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> My prize possessions include my collection of flight attendant wings, my great grandmother's antique star sapphire ring, my Audrey Hepburn Swarovski clutch, and my zombie doll Lenore. <a href="http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/?action=view¤t=Lenore-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/getoutofmygalley/Lenore-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
