click your heels three times





a not-exactly-unexpected trip to Kansas for a funeral. 3 beds in 4 nights. absolutely no cell service... which was actually kindof nice. a whole branch of Husband's family I met for the first time. nothing green to eat in sight that wasn't battered and deep fat fried. a look into the Walker family history and dynamics. lots of well-wishes for our move to Taiwan. some really fantastic steak. and more martinis than I've ever had, ever. [including my first with GIN and I actually liked it. learning to make a good martini just re-escalated itself on my to do list.]

martini fail

the other night I tried my hand at mixing up some martinis for Husband and myself.
[I've drunk a few martinis in my time, but never made any]


apparently I misjudged how much a "splash" is. all we could taste was vermouth.
 they looked pretty, but Husband told me I would never cut it as a 50's housewife.


 darn. guess I'll have to stick to scotch until I perfect the martini.
