we lived in louisville for a number of years when i was a kid and ever since i have been in love with (just about) everything derby. the fanfare and festivity surrounding the event are full of excitement and fun and i love it.
this year i decided that despite the fact that i didn't feel like organizing a derby party, i'd do something that would still allow me to celebrate.
so i made derby pie (a chocolate pecan pie) and we watched the 135th annual running of the roses. faith suggested a 10c wager, so we made our bets anxious for the 30-cent pot :) we all did terrible, with hugh's winning pick coming in 10th. good thing we're not betting people.
