  • I'll try to make derby pie--in fact, I'll make two, so everyone gets a decent sized piece.

  • Here is the recipe for Mint Julep:

    MINTED SIMPLE SYRUP
    1 cup water
    1 cup sugar
    1 bunch mint
    In heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together water and sugar until sugar dissolves. Increase heat slightly, then simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Take pan off heat, add mint leaves, and steep 15 minutes. Strain, then refrigerate syrup until cold, about 3 hours. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)

    MINT JULEP
    1 scant ounce minted simple syrup
    2 cups crushed ice
    2 ounces bourbon (such as Woodford Reserve) [I actually only used 1 ounce for the juleps I made at Cooking Club - though I'm sure it would have made things more interesting...]
    Fresh mint sprig, for garnish
    To highball glass or silver Julep cup, add minted simple syrup, then 1 cup crushed ice, bourbon, and splash of water. Add enough of remaining ice to almost fill glass. Stir well and garnish with mint sprig.
