well, it was derby weekend and as usual my horse took the race off. i picked bob and john and he might as well have just gone for a walk in the park. i picked him mainly because he was trained by baffert and he's had pretty good luck. until now.
we did our usual get-together at a friends house for the watching of the derby. i made burgoo, kentucky pie, and cucumber sandwiches. i was quite surprised how much everyone like the sandwiches. not a whole lot to them but people kept gobbling them up. the burgoo is kind of weird (i kept referring to it as bird goop, whatever that is). it is a pot full of all kinds of meat and vegetables cooked over low heat until you are ready to eat. seems quite similar to beef stew, only not.
my sister-in-law actually went to the derby as part of her job and came out pretty well. she bought a dress and hat and the hit the trifecta with 2 of her co-workers. all in all i'd say she had a pretty good weekend. now if she can just get lulu feeling a little better.
