DoN't foRGeT tHE miNt

My family always jokes that my Dad's middle name is "don't inconvenience me." However, a couple years ago, he went to the grocery store and got all the ingredients to make himself a Mint Julep for the Kentucky Derby. Watching him make the simple syrup for this drink was super hilarious. For those of you who don't know, making simple syrup is kind of a process. So it was the fact that he was taking the time to do this (from scratch) just to have his themed drink for the race was what made it so funny.

My point? Grocery stores are usually out of mint during this weekend so if you, too, would like to make a Mint Julep for this occasion, I suggest planning ahead. That, or raid someone's garden.
