I’m sharing recipes and tips on being frugal while polishing up my photography and creative writing skills. There’s an occasional spiritual discussion, a book review here and there, and probably more pictures of my dog than are strictly necessary. It’s part chat with a girlfriend over a glass of sweet tea, part conversation overheard in the grocery store checkout line, and part Thanksgiving dinner with the crazy branch of the family.

HAPPY DERBY DAY!

It's finally here! Yes, it's supposed to rain today, and no, my favorite three-year-old isn't running in the Derby, but I'm going to have fun anyway. Here's what's on the menu:
Kentucky Burgoo
Hot Browns (I'm making individual ones in muffin tins)
Benedictine Sandwiches
Country Ham on Rice Bread Rolls
Asparagus and Artichoke Salad
Derby Spread on crackers
Individual Derby Pies
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mint Juleps
Fleur De Lis Cocktails
Sweet Tea
If you're in the Louisville area, drop on by - email me and I'll give you directions! The Fleur De Lis Cocktail? Yeah, that was a new one on me, too, but is it ever good! I'll post a video recipe for it later today.

Derby Coverage:
ESPN 11am - 4pm
NBC 4pm - whatever
