3) Mint Juleps<\/a><\/p>\n

4) Burgoo<\/a> — a type of stew (gumbo can be compared but without the seafood). I didn't even know what this was but here's the recipe for Chess Pie, the other essential — to eat as reward after eating the burgoo:<\/p>\n

— featured in the Kentucky Derby Museum<\/a> and from the Kentucky Derby Museum Cookbook<\/em> (can’t get more official than that!)<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

1 stick butter<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

1 cup sugar<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

2 eggs, beaten<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

½ cup flour<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

pinch of salt<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

2 tbs. <\/span><\/font>Kentucky<\/span><\/font> bourbon<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

1 cup chopped pecans<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

1 cup chopped chocolate chips<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

1 9 inch pie shell, partially baked<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs, flour, salt and bourbon.  Add chocolate chips, and nuts.  Stir well.  Pour into partially baked pie shell and bake for 30 minutes or until center is set.  Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.  Here is another recipe with a great picture.<\/a><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

And more on the origins of the pie<\/a>.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Some recipes use walnuts<\/a>, but I prefer pecans.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

 5) And <\/span><\/font>of course hats…. Happy Kentucky Derby Day this Saturday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

PS: I'll be celebrating twofold because I got my blog, image upload working again — due to my FTP beefing up their security and I had to reset the permissions. One more thing off my list.
