eldon Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I can't find this anywhere to link it, but, I heard that if game goes past 5pm, NBC will switch to the Kentucky Derby coverage; while remainder of Devils/canes moves to OLN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYdevil Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 At least NBC is showing it where you live. In good ole Louisville, Kentucky its Derby coverage 24/7 The darn local affiliate here has to start at 6am with derby coverage and continue straight through til 10 or so tonite. So, no hockey for me, unless they show it on some other cable channel, but Im not gonna hold my breath. I guess Ill just hop over to NHL.com and listen to the radio broadcast.

LizDevil30 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I can't help but find it amusing that they give 24/7 coverage of a race that lasts what a minute? But then again, I'm not a racing fan. And what's up with those ridiculous hats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYdevil Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I can't help but find it amusing that they give 24/7 coverage of a race that lasts what a minute?But then again, I'm not a racing fan. And what's up with those ridiculous hats? I guess the biggest problem is that, other than Muhammed Ali, the only thing Louisville is known for is the Derby. Well, thats not true, I guess Louisville Slugger is another fairly decent icon that others know of. However, all that being said..it is the 132 official running of the derby. Thats a pretty LONG heritage. In any case, I think that people that visit and and here from out of town find it way more interesting than most of us who live here. Those of us who live here see it as a real pain in the arse. Traffic is bad, gas prices go up (yes even more) and the week long myriad of derby stuff is annoying at best. Although, the steamboat race on the Ohio river is always kinda humorous. everything ends with the running of the derby, which in fact sometimes isnt the most exciting race that day. Im not sure if everyone knows but there is a TON of horse races that go on all day long. Thats partly what the local channel covers all day...the other part is the stupid hats, finding celebrities, and showing everyone at home how to make a Mint Julip (AGAIN). every year it seems the same to me. anyways, I guess Im done ranting. If I think of more though, Ill let you all know...heh PS- if anyone here loves the derby thats great, I meant no offense...hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizDevil30 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 How do you make a Mint Julip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYdevil Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 How do you make a Mint Julip? KENTUCKY MINT JULEPS 4 c. water 2 c. sugar 4 c. loosely packed fresh mint leaves, chopped 4 c. bourbon Crushed ice Fresh mint leaves Combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add chopped mint leaves and simmer 30 minutes. Let syrup stand at room temperature overnight. Strain. Fill julep cups with crushed ice. Combine bourbon and mint syrup; pour over ice. Garnish with mint. Yields 7 1/2 cups. Thats family recipe that my Grams uses to make em from scratch. Of course you can find mint syrup and just use that. The better the bourbon the better the mint julip...hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizDevil30 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Why thank you. But you have to cook it? That leaves me out. I'd try the syrup but I'd bet it's not as good. I've never had bourbon. But I've been to Bourbon Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
