The FDA’s Guidelines for Safe Cooking Temperatures
October 23, 2013 by
The number one way to prevent foodborne illness is to ensure foods are cooked to the proper temperature. Using a meat thermomentor is the best way to tell. Check out this chart for the correct temperatures at which foods should be served, and read these handy tips:
- If you are using a food thermometer, make sure you test a couple areas of the meat, just not one spot, to ensure it is cooked all the way through. Don't rely on the color of the meat to tell you that it's cooked!
- Never eat raw eggs. Eggs are done when the whites and yolk are firm.
- When using a microwave, make sure you cover the food, stir it occasionally, and rotate it in the microwave. After the microwave has stopped, allow for some standing time so the item can complete cooking.
- Even if you're just reheating a sauce or soup, it's important to still bring them to a boil before enjoying.

October 16, 2013 by
One of the best ways to really get an idea of the vibrant culture of downtown Louisville is to turn out for the First Friday Trolley Hop. The free trolley runs in a loop from 10th street to Campbell along Main and Market streets, stopping at a variety of locations along the downtown corridor. A number of galleries along the route schedule art openings and other special events to coincide with the event, so you’re guaranteed to see some pretty cool stuff and maybe have a little wine and cheese. Travelers feeling a little hungrier can find great deals on food from participating restaurants and many downtown bars also have a variety of live music playing, in case you're in the mood to rock out! If you drive to the First Friday Trolley Hop, there's ample free parking available at Slugger Field, Main Street at Jackson, and other locations. The free trolley runs from 5 to 11 PM, rain or shine.

Best Kentucky Parks: Hit The Trail
October 9, 2013 by
The Louisville area is famous for its natural beauty. Located on the Ohio River, the city is ringed by lush forests and boasts over 120 city parks, many of which were designed by famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead. One of Louisville's most popular parks is Cherokee Park, which welcomes over a half a million visitors ever year to its green lawns, winding trails and the Nettleroth Bird Sanctuary. Iroquois Park is more heavily forested. Often referred to as the “Yellowstone of Kentucky,” this park is centered around Burnt Knob, a tall hill covered with old growth forest that offers spectacular views of Louisville's city skyline. For a more urban experience, the Louisville Waterfront Park runs along the Ohio River and hosts frequent outdoor concerts. It also boasts a linear fountain system that attracts hordes of children. It’s the largest public park in the country with free Wi-Fi internet access. No matter what your interest, there’s a park in Louisville for you!

Speed Art Museum: Take Your Time
September 25, 2013 by
No, the Speed Art Museum isn’t a museum devoted to fast-moving art. The oldest and largest art museum in the state of Kentucky, the Speed Art Museum was established in 1927 in memory of James Breckenridge Speed. A local financial leader who contributed greatly to the city’s development, Speed spearheaded its street railroad system and used his personal finances to establish and fund several schools. The Speed Art Museum may be his greatest legacy, though, as locals rave about its world-class collection. The primary focus of the museum’s holdings is the art of the Western world. Works by Rembrandt, Picasso, Cezanne, Matisse, and more are all on display here. In addition to the permanent collection, the Speed (as locals call it) hosts the popular Speed Concert Series and Art After Dark, a wild event where the doors of the museum are thrown open late for a can’t-miss gala. For kids, the Speed Art Museum's ArtSparks Interactive Family Gallery presents a wide variety of environmentally conscious hands-on exhibits.
