Pre-Derby Post Problems
The Kentucky Derby is two days away. The big locals race, The Oaks, is tomorrow. Which means Louisville is vibrating at a very high frequency this week. Posting may be difficult before Monday, but we’ll see. Understand that my intentions are good. The juleps have a way of distracting me from my responsibilities.
We need a quick tutorial on how to make mint juleps in time for the big race! Hmmmm, did someone say whiskey? That’s a project I can get behind.
If there was any mint to be had in this town believe me, I would. I didn’t get my own plant in the ground in time this year.
Sip away. But for the pastry lover in all of us; don’t mix the juleps with those macho power tools you have been using recently.
Ooh, good point. Thanks Kathy!
Well, let’s just file Mint Juleps in the Kentucky Derby file for next year, and I will remind you to plant the mint early.
We don’t plant mint here in CT very often as it is a feral thing and takes over any garden plot it is put in. A few brave souls try to contain it in a pot, but somehow it makes a break for it and the next thing you know, the azaleas have a funny smell.
It’s deal!
