Preakness Party
Most of us will be glued to the television this Saturday watching the 138th Preakness. Although the race itself is only a few minutes, why not make it a reason to entertain? A Preakness themed party is easy to throw together when you consider all the traditions. Decorate with colors of the Maryland flag for linens, flowers, desserts, place settings, etc. It may be hard to find Black-eyed Susan flowers this time of year so consider using daisies or silk flowers. For the menu it is custom to serve the cocktail “Black-eyed Susan.” You can serve other local favorites like crab cakes, cream of crab soup, Beger cookies and a Smith Island Cake. Don’t forget to ask the women to wear a hat and bow ties for the men.
