So to honor Uncle Bob and to, let's face it, have a really good excuse to drink some mint juleps, the Sweet Pea family is having some close friends over to watch the Derby.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!
