Kitchen Tip: What is a Roux?

What is a Roux?


A few days ago I received a call from my son Bob.
His wife Kim was making a Cheddar Cheese Soup and
the recipe called for making a roux.

I am thrilled when my kids take an interest in cooking..
I in Southern States, a roux is part of every day cooking but
I grew up learning how to thicken sauces and gravy using a flour and water mixture or
a corn starch and water mixture also called a "Slurry"
So, to answer your question Bob and Kim, a roux is...........

Kentucky Derby and Derby Pie

Celebrate the Kentucky Derby~



For more than 135 years,
The Kentucky Derby has always been the
perfect occasion to extend Bluegrass hospitality.
Although the Derby is held in Louisville,
the spotlight shines on the whole state.
Everyone in the state celebrates on race day,
the first Saturday in May.
The Derby is more than a horse race it's a social event.
The celebration starts with brunch and
extends throughout the day and continues over the week-end.
If you're lucky enough to be seated in the upper levels of Churchill Downs,
you're expected to show up in your finest duds.
Some women's hats cost as much as the dresses they wear.
