Run For The Roses

It takes place in Louisville, Kentucky...

the first Saturday of May...

at the lovely Churchill Downs...

It has been dubbed "the most exciting 2 minutes in Sports"

I can definitely see why...

Yes, I'm talking about the Kentucky Derby...

The Derby is very big in our household considering my husband is from Louisville...

See...even Barbie is a Derby girl...
and she is dressed most appropriately...

And no Derby would be complete without its signature drink...

The Mint Julep...

Served in the silver Derby cup...

So grab a few friends, 

a dozen roses 

(since it is "The Run for the Roses"},

maybe have some friendly wagering, 

serve up some Hot Browns, 

Benedictine as an appetizer,

and voila...

Have a great weekend!
