 DS> I'd drink with ya anytime.

Be warned; I also do fruity umbrella drinks on occasion (without the
umbrella though, that's just way too gay).

 JW> Bad martini:
 JW> 4 c  Cubed ice
 JW> 12 oz Bombay Sapphire Gin
 JW> Splash of spicy V-8
 JW> 4    Spicy jalapenos
 JW> 4    Spicy haricots verts
 JW> 4    Spicy red pear tomatoes
 JW> 4    Spicy okra

 DS> Yeah, basically a frou-frou Bloody Mary made with real
 DS> expensive gin and served in a martini glass.

I had some Bombay Sapphire gin over the weekend. Very good.

It was Ray's birthday Saturday and Michelle threw together a quick (we
had all been working that day and had little time for a major effort)
dinner with a little input from Roslind. We had moose burgers
(Michelle's) on homemade buns (Roslind's) with a large assortment of hot
sauces (Michelle's) and sides (deli) and chocolate cupcakes (Roslind's).

I usually don't mix drinks but she had both Czech Urquell pilsner and
Bombay martinis (4:1, olives) and I had brought samples of Frontera and
Valpolicella from my recent purchase. I had one of everything without
ill effect.

The whole family seems to be on a martini kick since the wedding
although none of us were aficionados before that. Raine recently
confessed to having had nine at the wedding reception, not two as
previously reported.

 JW> Yes. Okra. The man is insane.

 DS> Some people think that anything served in a
 DS> martini glass is a martini.

A lot of people do these days.

Jim

... Well, gin rummy SOUNDED like a fun game.
