derby day!

while i am admittedly not a avid fan of horse racing, there has always been something intriguing to me about the kentucky derby.

maybe its the wild hats, or the mint juleps- but on a rainy saturday it's provided me some inspiration for indoor fun.

i found some great recipes for mint juleps, a  kentucky derby creamy cheddar grits souffle and run-for-the-roses-pie .. perfect for vegging with john, kingsley and our basset hound guest "head coach marvin lewis".
