Thanks for posting the appropriate "Triple Crown" drink recipes!
I won't be having the usual Juleps this year, because I can't attend our "annual Derby party in Vermont" this year (helping DD with new "early birth" granddaughter in Massachusetts).

Dee, I'm sorry you're going to miss your annual party, but the reason you're missing it is priceless! And so are you, for being there for DD...Glad to hear everyone's home and doing OK! I'm voting for soaking the cherries; we'll share some later on.

Congrats on your new granddaughter, Dee!!

Oh yes this is such a GORGEOUS thread, Mama's Kitchen (Hope)! Thank you, Alli! I am stoked to see it again this year, and with such great additions--it was so amazing to see that our Alligirl picked the 2012 winner!!

Looking forward to (hopefully) seeing this wonderful thread make yet another grand appearance next year with MORE GREAT racing tips, food & drink recipes, and beautiful photographs!!!

Here's to the 2012 DERBY DAY winner I'll Have Another, and to all future winners! Cheers!!!!!

Thanks to both of you ladies!

Becky, that is the nicest thing anyone said to me all of last week! I sure appreciate the fact that you're enjoying the thread, and I will do my best to add to it and keep it fresh next year!

And a great big ~CHEERS!~ to I'll Have Another!

Morning! It's Kentucky Derby Day!

I'll venture a guess that I won't be as lucky with my choice this year! I'll be back this morning, to 'pretend' to make a pick!

What kind of Derby parties are you going to this year? I must admit that it snuck up on me!

Alli

[alligirl]

OK, almost post time, so I'll throw my 'hat' in the derby ring and pick Goldencents...$$ sounds good to me!

Good luck!
