Martini with Brunch

Dale and I headed to Pizza Luce for brunch after church. He got eggs while I got the apple quinoa pancakes. Oh, and I had a Tanqueray martini.

Cocktails -Saturday October 26, 2013

On my own tonight for cocktail hour. Listening to Radio Deluxe with John Pizzarelli. Highlights from tonight's show include Get Happy by Tony Bennett, Dinah by Joe Venuti and Zoot Sims, and The Joint is Jumping by Fats Waller. Cocktail #1 is a Tanqueray martini. Drink #2 while listening to Sinatra and Friends? The same.

Quote - John Ciardi

Bachelor Pad Part 1

The following is from Wikipedia: "A bachelor pad is a slang term for a living space owned by a bachelor (single man) that is designed as a collective space (as opposed to individual items) with the purpose of facilitating a bachelor in his daily activities to include but no limited to daily functionality, use of free time, hobbies and interests, entertaining friends, and seducing women. A bachelor pad can be done on a very limited budget as is the case with many young adults and college students or to a level of extravagance as seen amongst celebrities."

Cocktail Hour - Friday October 18, 2013: Music

Last night's cocktail music was Bachelor Pad Royale from the Ultra-Lounge series. The Theme From "Our Man Flint" by Elliott Fisher really stood out to me for some reason. It has a fun space age-y vibe to it.

Cocktail Hour - Friday October 18, 2013: Warren's Drink

Warren had his regular libation: rum with club soda and Rose's lime juice. Sadly I didn't have any real limes on hand for a garnish.

Cocktail Hour - Friday October 19, 2013: Warren and Gary

Warren and Gary came over for drinks and dinner last night. Gary and I had Tanqueray martinis. Mine was very dry, of course. Gary's? Not so dry. He likes a bit more vermouth than I do. Dale had wine.
