I realize that today is the official first day of Autumn, and therefore I should be singing the praises of all things apple and pumpkin and harvesty. But I did that last week. Today, I’ll just tell you that we slept with our bedroom window open last night, and it got down to around 45…
kentucky derby pie cookies.
Let’s sneak another Derby recipe in just under the wire. I’m almost certain that I’ve never had an “official Derby Pie” (a.k.a. one baked by Kern’s Kitchen, which has the name trademarked). Back home, we always made our own Derby Pie (or, unofficial-Derby-Pie) to celebrate the great horse race, but we’re technically not allowed to…
