A Sweet So Sour: Kool-Aid Dills

I haven't made up my mind if I want to use a perfectly good packet of Kool-Aid in a perfectly good jar of pickles yet. But, they are certainly pretty. There are some cook pics in the article below. A Sweet So Sour: Kool-Aid Dills By JOHN T. EDGE Published: May 9, 2007 They are either the worst thing to happen to pickles or a particularly brave new taste sensation, but Kool-Aid dills are now popular in the Mississippi Delta. Permalink to the New York Time article. The blogger pic I linked to is from this blog post .

Boycotting the Derby

I refused to watch the Derby this weekend. Normally I do. This year I have no idea which horse won. I'm still a little curious though, and missed the tradition. But, I'll keep up my boycott until Churchill Downs gets a new track. Here's why they need it.... I got angry the other night I was watching the news and heard that on average two race horses are killed on race tracks around America -- mostly due to broken legs. It's not that I didn't know horses die on the race track. But, what I didn't know was so many die regularly. Nor did I realize that they know how to eliminate a lot of deaths. Apparently there is a newer rubberized fill they use instead of dirt. The news said it is very expensive, but safer and makes the horses run faster on it because the track is easier on the horses. The news said that the Kentucky Derby would rather keep killing horses than buck tradition. (Well, those weren't the exact words that they used, but that was the gist of it.)
