We'll be feasting on some wonderful southern fare and drinking SPH's famous mint juleps. But what about the Sweet Peas? They'll be drinking my new invention, the mint fool-up. Basically it is the same syrup you use for the julep, but mixed with club soda (because anything fizzy=more fun to drink).
Mint Fool-ups
1/4 c mint simple syrup (simmer 2 parts sugar to 1 part water with about 8-10 mint leaves)
1/2 c club soda
Mix well, garnish with a straw.
Easy, peasy.

We were walking ( = trudging) through the airport toninght on the way to the parking lot and saw an ad for the Derby with a mint julep center stage. Jake comments "look at that salad" (the mint leaves) Melissa and I looked at each other and decided that was just the salad we needed after that plane ride.
Miss you!!! Please come see us soon.
We miss you too!!!! I was toying with the idea of suggesting to you that we get together when the boys are in NC, but we are going to make a sojourn up to my folks' house, since we haven't been there since December!
Sounds like too much fun! I wanna come over!
Mint juleps...YUM! YUM! My neighbor made mango juleps and they were very tasty too!
