|Many of you might remember that the Run for the Roses (aka The Kentucky Derby) is a big deal at my house. In keeping with tradition, we are prepping for the big day this Saturday - complete with a Hat Parade, friendly wagering, a few libations and of course, enough food for all. It is kid friendly, so I try to keep a little balance in the menu - not all is adult oriented. There are some dishes that are a "must have" and each year I try to swap a few out and a few new ones in. The menu - which is open for discussion, I will asterisk the few dishes that are "must haves" - is below. Please feel free to offer suggestions, alternatives or recipes for any of the dishes listed, I am open minded on most of it!
Thanks you again for allowing me to share this event with you - I am hosting for the 27th year (long before DH and kids) and it has become hugely important to me over the decades. Oh, and we are expecting about 60 - 70 people.
Thank you in advance for any comments, recipes, thoughts or suggestions!
3 flavors of Hummus & pita chips, pretzels
Nanner Pudding

|No Hot Brown Sandwiches?
|How about mint brownies in place of regular brownies? While a good brownie is a thing of beauty, I have made them with mint in different ways - adding cut up mint chocolates to the batter, putting a thin mint frosting on top - sometimes by itself, or under another layer of chocolate frosting.
It sounds like everything is meant to be finger food? How about mini-spanakopitas and/or mini-tiropites? Or spring rolls? You can make the spring rolls vegetarian or not.

|It sounds great to me! I love your roses cupcakes, so beautiful!
If you were to change anything, I would add bbq pork sliders instead of something as you have a lot of chicken, but I do love chicken...
|Thank you for the suggestions. I do like mint a lot, and it would be great in the brownies. Hot Browns may be traditional, but messy and hard to serve for a crowd I'm afraid.
And thank you Beez... those rose cupcakes are hugely popular for Derby Day. I was including chicken nuggets for the little people that will be here, but pork sliders might be a great substitute.
Thank you again!

|All sounds great to me! Could you describe the crudite thing?
|Alexa, I was thinking of you this week when I was rummaging in the attic for a hat to wear on Saturday that would go with "business casual" attire but still look like a Derby Hat.
Your menu looks great, as always. I remember the rose cupcakes. If you want to incorporate fresh mint, you could have shooters of minted green pea soup. I just returned from vacation and one of the outstanding dishes was deviled eggs with crabmeat, snipped chives and (tasted like) Dijon mustard mixed into the yolks. The mini chicken and waffles sound like a fun dish too.
I hope you and your guests have a wonderful time and pick the winning horse.
|You are certainly the expert here! I would be considering your comprehensive menu and activities.
Have fun.
|Thanks again everyone - FOAS, I am linking to Marthas website which shows the cute little bread hunks, you put the dip in the bottom and the veg in the hollowed out bit. Someone suggested putting a little of everything in each "cup" and I think that is what I will do.....
Here is a link that might be useful: Martha Stewart crudite in bread cups
|Wow, after seeing what you are serving,I wish I could be there! One of these years I will surprise you. I am up to my elbows with the library plant sale this weekend.
Have fun and I hope your horse wins.
|Looks like a winning Triple Crown menu.
Have fun!

|How'd it go? What was the final menu?
|I've been wondering how it went also. Was Orb your horse?
|Thank you so much for asking!
The party was great - had a few last minute cancellations since there was a softball tournament the same day and their kids were on teams that kept winning, but I am thrilled that the girls did well so it was all good.
The menu was everything listed above, except I skipped the ice cream sandwich thing - it was overkill, and I am glad I did. Several friends (who know me well) know that dessert is usually not my thing, so they all brought desserts! The contributed a pecan pie, a walnut caramel cheesecake (OMG it was delish!), a strawberry cheesecake, and a huge plate of chocolate chip cookies and chocolate covered pretzels.
Everyone had a blast and the hat parade was a riot. My GF had been in San Diego on business a few weeks earlier and bought a fascinator there. It was incredible - purple, black illusion lace, black feathers... just amazing and she looked so beautiful in it. I was happy she won, since she has had a tough year battling breast cancer.
I am already looking forward to next year!

About Us
Welcome to Heart Rock Farm. We are located in beautiful South Berwick, Maine. Starting a farm for our family in 2011 has been a dream come true. We have two young sons and we believe the best type of upbringing can be provided by living off our land. Keeping livestock and growing our own food without harmful pesticides and growth hormones is very important to us.
At Heart Rock Farm we raise free range chickens, breed show quality sheep, raise pigs and keep bees! All of which bring a different type of joy/produce to our lives and table.
We have absolutely fallen in love with Romney sheep. Recently we purchased our first registered Romney which is the beginning to our sheep showing experience. Our goal at Heart Rock Farm is to focus on strong Romney characteristics and do justice to this beautiful breed of sheep.
As of right now we have four yearling ewes. We will be lambing for the first time next year and are very excited about growing our flock. Currently we are searching for our farm's first Ram.
The winter of 2010 we purchased three packages of Italian bees and look forward to adding three more hives this summer! Bees are by far the more interesting part of our farm.

Cheap energy for distant population centers means impairing the natural and cultural resources of Native people.
Uranium, coal, oil, and natural gas deposits located on the Colorado Plateau provide cheap energy to distant population centers. Although Native people who live in the region receive some employment and royalty payments, most of the profits benefit nonresident shareholders living in cities like Los Angeles and Phoenix. Extracting fuels from Native lands has forced thousands of people from their homes and desecrated traditional sources of spirituality and sustenance.
Consequently, the region's rich ecological heritage is also being evermore endangered with each new wave of energy development.
To prevent this devolving spiral, we need a systemic change and an end to extractive-energy economies that are exploiting the Colorado Plateau's fragile ecosystems while leaving people impoverished. This need is most urgent on Native American lands, which comprise 25 percent of the Colorado Plateau, where unemployment chronically hovers above 40 percent, and where tens of thousands of homes are without electricity and running water. More importantly, there is a need to restore Native citizens' rights to self-determination and a healthy environment. We must also empower them to participate in new economic opportunities in this era when unprecedented public investments in clean energy are now being made as part of our nation's economic recovery plan.
President Jimmy Carter sought energy and economic independence for our entire nation during the 1970s. He called for a massive investment in clean energy and set a goal of supplying 20 percent of our electricity from solar power by the year 2000. But vested interests and unforeseen events stalled the transition. Today, the sun supplies about 1 percent of our electricity, and our nation has grown ever more dependent on coal-fired power plants.
The time has come to turn our backs on these behemoths of a bygone era and replace them with clean energy.
As former Hopi Chairman Vernon Masayesva said, "We have the technology, the sun, the land, and the power corridor. It should be a piece of cake." Former vice presidential candidate Winona LaDuke said:
"We need to create a just transition strategy. We need to create a way of life where a community is not forced to cannibalize their mother in order to live. They say Indian reservations could produce half of the presently installed U.S. electrical capacity. We are the richest and most powerful country in the world. We have no absence of resources or technology to do the right thing. What we have is the absence of political will."
Our region's people are ravaged by pollution and poverty but bolstered by hope. Together, we can rekindle our economy by making a systematic transition to clean and renewable energy. We can reduce greenhouse gases while investing in sustainable communities. And, we can empower people who were left in the dust by a dangerous and dirty, coal-based economy.

Do you need more information about California Penal Code Section 3056? Those who have been recently released regularly struggle with adhering to their parole guidelines. Those who fail to adhere to their parole could face additional time in prison as well as other penalties. Those who are unsure of whether or not they have violated are encouraged to contact our Orange County law offices fora free case evaluation with a skilled attorney
What is PC 3056?
California Penal Code 3056 outlines the rules for parole. It states that prisoners on parole must continue to be under the official supervision of the State. In addition, parolees can be rearrested at any time deemed necessary, during the time they are on parole.
A common reason why a prisoner or parole may be rearrested is failure to contact their designated parole officer during scheduled intervals, as mandated by the court.
The following example could be considered a violation of PC 3056:
Tom just finished a 7 year prison for armed robbery and was released from prison one week ago. As a condition of his release, Tom is not allowed to leave the state of California and he must contact his parole officer at specified times. Tom has met a woman that he is very interested in, but she does not know that he is a convicted felon. He has been staying with her since the day after he got arrested and he cannot get away to contact his parole officer. To keep from blowing his cover, he fails to contact his parole officer and is found in violation of California penal code 3056.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
