Pull out your hats for some Southern charm, ladies, because this weekend is the Kentucky Derby! So, we thought we would gear up with Secretariat for “A Fork & A Flick” Friday. We will be sipping Mint Juleps and enjoying the movie this Friday evening. Secretariat is a movie for the whole family to enjoy,…
It’s warming up and the evenings have been quite pleasant. It was time to surprise the hubby with a cocktail to enjoy in the evening. So, this weekend we had Watermelon Martinis. It’s quite simple to make, yet a killer punch when it comes to taste. Simple and tasty is just the way I like…
