* Note: If you ever include a similar recipe in a cookbook, you can't legally call it a "Derby Pie" recipe. The name "Derby Pie" is trademarked, and the owners of the name are very aggressive protecting the name "Derby Pie."

14. Wow.

That looks excellent! Three of my favorite things - walnuts, dark(er) chocolate, and bourbon. Hard to go wrong with that one.

Thanks!

15. it is delicious. --

Kentucky bourbon chocolate walnut pie is traditionally served at the annual Kentucky Derby Horse race. This pie recipe is similar to the Melrose Inn's famous version which has been served at the race for over 50 years.

8. I should have reminded you.

[Moondog]

10. How would someone, even someone as prescient

as yourself, know that I would forget such a momentous event?

[In_The_Wind]

11. Oh, I would have been subtle about it. Mentioning my attire for this evening.

[Moondog]

12. A "bonnet" of some sort, no doubt.

[In_The_Wind]

16. Of course, with a simple little frock.

Delicate georgette in peach.

[Moondog]

17. You really

did live in the South for a while, didn't you?

[In_The_Wind]
