Hell yes!
*dives in and rolls myself up in an extra blanket*

Ear scratches for ya. There is a place right next to me honey

 

[LaisDeMarieDeFrance]

Thanks! You're kind and make me blush a bit. And thanks for clearing thing out.
It's one of my reasons as well being here. So I'm not afaid to ask stupid questions. If I don't I'll never learn.

Not stupid! You just didn't know!

 

[cascadiabound]

I haven't colored my hair lately so I'd just point to the silver and roll my eyes.

This
Except I've never colored my hair. I earned every last one of those silver strands

(should say were is the comment)

They were worried I don’t comment when they are around.

Just me being me.

 

[Cogan]

I’m old AF so to be carded is AWESOME

Well, now I know what it means, so if I'm carded I'd ask if the bartender was blind.

Ear scratches for ya. There is a place right next to me honey

*scoots over and lays by you, just my nose sticking out*
This workday can end ASAP, thank you!

So who’s going to come eat all this food

 

[Mrtenant]

Mrtenant's Vesper Martini

3 oz Grey Goose Vodka
1 oz Tann's Gin
1/2 oz Lillet Wine
1/4 oz squeezed lemon juice

There are several ways to do this martini. I got very drunk one day finding the recipe that I like from trial and error. I do the bartending at my house and experiment often. Especially since we got a bar a couple years ago.

This is the best version I came out with. I have another version that is quicker and easier.

This takes planning, so plan it.

Set your bottle of vodka in the freezer for a couple hours. When ready,, proceed as follows:

Using your measuring shooter, measure out the vodka, gin, and Lillet wine into your shaker. Squeeze a lemon wedge for the required lemon juice also into the shaker. Shake well and pour into your martini glass. Peel off a bit of lemon peel as garnish.

(Do not eat the lemon peel)

These things go down like some kind of exotic lemonade and are just as refreshing.

My smaller kitty might try to play with the husky...

Well I could still feed 3, but it can also mean myself on the coming days...

Recommendation: your vodka should live in your freezer. Shortens the planning stage!

I love a Vesper Martini!
I use to do it the other way around with vodka and gin. 3 parts Gin, 1 part Vodka, 1 part Lillet Blanc and squeezed lemon oil over it all. I use Tanqueray London dry Gin and Smirnoff Vodka.

It's a classy drink either way.
I'll take one of each.
For science!

I like the Tanns gin. It has a more flowery taste without being over powering. And the Grey Goose is just some of the smoothest vodka ever, imo.

I store all basic alcohol in the fridge. Less dilution when I make cocktails.

Agreed! Mine does.

 

[cascadiabound]

And yet I still don’t know…

To get carded means to be asked to provide proof of legal age to drink/buy or be served alcohol.
Once you are a woman of a certain age it feels a bit like a victory to be asked to prove you are over 21.
But these days it just feels silly as I could easily have my own 21 yo.

@Cogan

There ya go

 

[Codeman93]

And yet I still don’t know…

You can get carded in soccer or carded when you go to the bar means they wanna see I.D. To make sure your over 21

Any time!
For science of course.
