There's something to be said about the men in our lives. The ones who held our hands as we learned to walk, who handed us the keys to an old Oldsmobile on a Sunday afternoon when we were 14. There's a strength in an opinion unmarred by fluff, and heart-to-hearts against a stubbly cheek.
There's ...
An Easy Lime Tart
I'm a sucker for a light dessert... Whether it's a fluffy, espresso-filled tiramisu on the patio at Carmine's in Chicago or a teeny creme brûlée at Brooklyn and the Butcher, there's something about having a dessert that's pale in color and whipped to perfection that I just love.
This isn't to ...
Summer Headgear
It's no secret that I love a good hat. Tall and feathered, cocked to one side, looking like a porcupine-covered weapon (a la' Derby last year), I love all hats. Sadly, though, it seems that wearing overly-wild track-style hats isn't appropriate for every day... meaning that if I wanted any wort of ...
A Basil and Peach Bourbon Smash
Having come home from our Oaks Day travels with something like 600 new bottles of Bourbon, I was itching to try something new cocktail-wise.
B and I consulted our friend Erin down at Red Hog one night for a suggestion or two on how to use a bottle of Willett. The first thing she suggested? ...
Touring Bourbon
I'm a creature of habit, of tradition. There's post-Derby Sunday brunch, always heading to Chicago over the 4th of July weekend, Italian Creme Cake at the holidays. It's as if- over the years- I've created so many "always" in my life that there was no room for anything new or different. If I ...
A Derby Weekend Wrap-up
Oh, friends.... After almost a week, I've stopped being tired, gotten back to the gym (gotta burn off the Bourbon), and had time to digest what was possibly one of the best Derby weekends ever.
Wednesday began as normal, with work taking up the morning through lunch. Family arrived in town that ...
The Brunch Bunch Does Derby
I'm not sure how it started. A couple of us thought we may need a quick outside-the-office meeting every few weeks or so to discuss our goals, air any grievances, and encourage one another through life. After so many months, we brought on a couple more members, changed our group chat name to a ...
Sorry for the Silence…
According to pro handicapper, Bill Doolittle, "The less you bet, the more you lose when you don't win."
Friends, may the sun shine bright on our Old Kentucky Home this weekend. May your glasses be full, may your pimento cheese be perfect, and may all your winning tickets bet the long shot. ...
Talk Derby to Me!
For at least 5 years, I've wanted to host a Derby party. I'm not the kind of gal that would want to go all red roses, horseheads, and turf on the table (though a turf table sounds like an awesome idea...), but I've always had visions in my head of girlfriends in wild hats, honey-drizzled fried ...
