Ah ha! A Hot Brown! A hot open faced turkey sandwich with bacon and
mornay sauce. Pumpernickle? Shouldn't it be thick cut (aka Texas)
toast? Ah, yes. Still served that way:

I don't care much about the Kentucky Derby. Do any of you watch it?

I remember when Secretariat won. in the 1970's. AFAIK, still the
fastest horse on record. But that's about all I know about it.

I have no idea which horses are running tomorrow. I don't watch it
unless there is abosolutely nothing else to do.

I do know I don't like bourbon. Not even if you fill the glass with
ice, sugar and mint and pretend to have a US Southern accent. LOL

And for Gary's information, if I was eating a Hot Brown I would *not* be
drinking anything other than water.

I've got nothing special planned for Derby Day. Might go to the grocery
store if I can get over this pesky head cold. I am not planning to make
or buy a Hot Brown Sandwich.

With a head cold it's a home made chicken soup day, with egg noodles.,
carrots, celery, and naturally garlic and dill. Bourbon is the one
booze I detest.

Thompson's essay is hilarious and worth reading.

Yes, that's an interesting exercise. Let's all start ending our posts
with a random unrelated statement. Quail eggs are much smaller than
chicken eggs.

I've watched the race, but not the pre-race goings on.l I have no
interest. I do like bourbon though. In summer when we have fresh mint
I will make a julep or two in the summer.

This year we're not at home and would not make a derby dinner anyway.

I do watch those final 3 races when I remember to. I did watch all 3 in
the 70's when Secretariat won the triple crown.

I actually interrupted my lunch (nacho deluxe) just to say before it's
too late. On CMT channel today is the movie about Secretariat. It's a
good one even if you don't care for horse racing. It's a true story
about hi life from birth to winning the triple crown. I highly recommend
watching.

I've seen it before but I'll watch again (CMT at 2:30 - 5:30 eastern).
And right after that it will be almost time to watch this year's
kentucky derby race.

This year's popular horse is Patches, the one-eyed horse. Not expected
to win but overcome the disability good enough to qualify the race. Odds
on that one is 30-1. Bet on patches and make some big money if he wins.

Oh yeah, I love the Kentucky Derby and all the build up, hats etc.,
listening to/watching it now. I have picked *Irish War Cry*, never picked a
winner yet though.

It is a good movie but it's not quite true. The Chenery's were not
about to 'loose the farm.' The previous year of Secretariat's win
they had won the Kentucky derby, so they weren't exactly hurting
for money.

Make that 'lose' not loose.

I thought Derby horses were eligible to run the race only once because of the
age requirement.

I loved the Secretariat movie, and also one called "Dreamer," with one of the Fannings,
I think...Dakota? I also cried when Barabo had to be put down. I am a fan
of the Derby, and the jockeys and the fashion. I don't have a pick in this year's race.

If I'm not mistaken it's a race for 3 year olds, but don't
quote me.
