  2. Oh my lord...probably not a great idea coming here to drool over this post...not only am I on a diet but being originally from the south and growing up having a mother and grandmother who regularly made many of these these heavenly concoctions.....made the memories flood back especially the toasted pecans and baked brie....the best!!!!! I still make both when I entertain....but have NO willpower and rendeer myself helpless against both. Wonderful post.....

  4. I'm usually driving through Kentucky around Derby Day and always wishing I could stop and smell the roses while sipping a mint julep.

  5. You throw the BEST parties!!! Lucky for me, a couple originally from Kentucky host the best Derby party each year. Hats encouraged, mint juleps flowing, multiple big screens set up outside, friendly betting (I won 2 years ago!) and even Kentucky fried chicken is served (with a wink, of course).

    Hope you're doing something fabulous for the day!
