Kentucky has entered into that sweet lull after Derby festivities have ended where the city just seems to calm a bit. Restaurant menus go back to normal, schools resume a normal schedule, and you can almost hear the entire service industry population take a deep sigh of relief.

First Week of Spring: A Tabletop
I'm not one to moan and complain about cooler weather. Personally, I'm all for it. I love the cool breezes that make me bundle up in overcoats and enormous scarves. I like knowing it's cold out while I'm inside by a fire, with jammies on and Bourbon in hand. I love the snow. What we get of it, ...
A Derby Weekend Wrap-Up
I know we can only say things like "before Covid" and "after Covid" for so long before it starts getting old. I promise I think this is the last time I'm bringing such a thing up as as excuse for plans, but in this case, it's needed...
Our Kentucky Derby weekend was different before Covid (see? ...

How to Host a Derby Party
There are a few things we Louisvillians take seriously. UK versus UL in any sport. Our Bourbon. Any recipe remotely resembling fried chicken. And the Derby.

Two Derby Time Cocktails (that aren’t Juleps)
Hear me out... I love a julep. Well. I love a julep when it's done well. This is rare. Ask most how to make a mint julep, and they'll tell you to muddle mint (which makes it bitter, in my opinion) with some sugar, toss in some bourbon and water it down. Yuck.
I have a julep recipe from ...
An Easter Table with Supermarket Flowers
The man and I have been making great use lately of our sunroom. While this space isn't nearly what I want it to be (read: I want to make it bigger, drywall the space, drop in a dining light, extend the hardwoods in here, and line the exterior walls with black French doors), after a fresh coat of ...
For the Gals
Admittedly, I am not a Valentine's Day person. Bryan and I even moved our dating anniversary (or, Firstiversary, as we call it) to March 1st from February 17th to get it out of February completely. This is a month when I typically lay low, and let the red roses and teddy bear balloons float by, ...
Kentucky Derby: 100 Days Out
Many years ago, in the time before Covid took us all by surprise, I was proud to gloat that I'd only missed one Derby since I was 18. In 2017, the hubs and I flew to New York to surprise our always Derby-date, who was a patient at Sloan Kettering at the time. We donned Derby gear, her husband and ...
