Speaker 1

0:00

Mm-hmm.

0:01

And he takes a bourbon barrels and smokes stuff.

0:04

Like he has the best salt, the best pepper.

0:08

The sugar is to die for it to sprinkle on top of a dessert or something when you get ready to bake it.

0:14

Anyway, it's it's one of these multi-use.

0:17

You can marinate chicken wings.

0:19

You can do anything with it.

0:21

So we're going to use this too.

0:23

So if you'll hand me the canola oil.

0:26

Here we go.

Unassigned speaker

0:28

We're

Speaker 1

0:29

gonna have thank you, madam Kirby.

0:32

I'm gonna put enough in here, about two tablespoons or so, to cover the bottom.

0:40

Okay.

0:41

Yes.

0:41

Now, with stir fry, you gotta keep stirring it.

0:45

Okay.

0:45

All right.

0:46

So that's the name.

0:48

Tell me when you're ready for my.

0:49

When I'm ready for it, I don't want to put anything in a cold pan.

0:53

Yeah.

0:53

Okay.

0:54

So we're waiting a second till this gets hot.

0:57

Okay.

0:58

Now, what we're gonna do is you wanna put this in when it sizzles.

1:02

Oh, look, sizzle.

Unassigned speaker

1:04

All

Speaker 2

1:04

right, so that's a good one.

Speaker 1

1:06

If you'll put that in there.

Speaker 2

1:07

My pleasure.

Unassigned speaker

1:09

Speaker 2

1:09

when it sizzles, that's when we when it's hot enough and we put it in.

1:12

All right, that's a little bit.

Speaker 1

1:14

If it doesn't sizzle, what happens is it absorbs all the oil.

1:18

And then you have oily food.

1:20

And that's what some of these people I were talking to said that you know they get this food that's all yucco bucko.

Speaker 2

1:29

It's all kind of soggy and too oily.

1:32

But that's a good tip.

1:34

All right.

1:34

And then how long are we going to stir for

Speaker 1

1:36

it?

1:36

We're gonna stir-fry it until it's the way you like it.

1:40

Now, some people like it, you know, real but real soggy?

Speaker 2

1:46

Yeah.

1:46

Okay.

Unassigned speaker

1:47

They got like a little bit.

Speaker 1

1:48

I like it to have

Speaker 2

1:48

a little crisp.

1:49

Me too.

Speaker 1

1:50

Now, what I'm using here is fat-free, snow salt, garlic, and herb stuff.

1:58

And I'm gonna sprinkle it like over the top.

Unassigned speaker

2:03

And

Speaker 2

2:03

that we just pick up at the store as well.

2:05

Yeah.

2:05

In the spice department.

Speaker 1

2:07

Garlic herb is the key.

2:09

Right.

2:09

You want to be able to control the salt yourself.

2:12

Especially with something like this, because Kirby, when you have this and you add soy sauce, or you add this, it's salty.

Summary of Proceedings

Louisville Meeting Transcript: Cooking Demonstration, November 2, 2026

No agenda or minutes were provided for the November 2, 2026 meeting, and the available transcript does not contain municipal business. It records a cooking demonstration and conversation between a chef/instructor and Kirby, focused on stir-fry technique and vegetable preparation. The record is dated 2026-11-02 at 15:30 UTC; no meeting end time was provided.

Discussion Items

The demonstration covered heating canola oil (about two tablespoons) before adding vegetables, using the sizzle as a sign the pan is hot enough; the speaker warned that food added to a cold pan can absorb oil and become oily.
The instructor used a garlic-and-herb salt blend and emphasized controlling added salt, noting that salt opens up taste buds and has historical importance in trade.
They discussed adding soy sauce or a product referred to in the transcript as “Kentucky Yucky” after the vegetables were mostly cooked, and serving the stir-fry with noodles, rice, or leftover chicken.
The speaker noted that red bell pepper contains vitamin C.
For a vegetable dish for four people, they used squash, zucchini, red bell pepper, and yellow onion; the onion was halved and cut into half-moons while leaving the core/back intact to hold it together.
Extra virgin olive oil was used to give the dish an Italian flair, and the zucchini and squash were cut into half-moons of similar width so they would cook evenly.
The transcript ends with a question about adding one-fourth cup of water to the oil, and no answer is captured.

Key Outcomes

No votes, public comments, or municipal decisions were recorded in the available transcript.
Cooking tips included preheating the pan, cutting vegetables evenly, and seasoning with salt-consciousness.
