I think of accents, fried chicken, mint juleps and fancy hats. Oh yea, did I mention horses?
I am staying downtown for a work conference but things are quite happening around here. This weekend starts the kick off of the two week festival, Rolling Thunder, leading up to the Kentucky Derby. Hopefully I will be able to make it out to Churchill Downs.
I wish I could come back and actually see the race. I always get mesmerized by the race. Horses are some incredible creatures. But Kentucky for some people is known for other things...
I saw the real life suit wore by Mr. KFC and he was one little man. I don't think he ate too much of his own food.
And clearly I don't drink all that much because I forgot all about the bourbon.
This is what I was up to this week:
Balsamic Chicken
Spring Pasta Salad and WIAW
Shrimp and Asparagus
Friday's Favorites Fun Things
I have not been horse racing in a long time. Magnificent creatures. I am liking your link.
