For the past week or so, I?ve been able to have the kid coverage to go out and have a few martinis. Last Thursday, I went to The View in Minneapolis with my friend Holly. I had a lemon pear martini that was not on the menu. It was pretty good but the lemon seemed to overpower the pear. On Friday, Adam and I went to The Chambers and had a Thyme Vodka Lemonade (or something close to that name). That was a great drink. The first one we ordered we had in a highball with lots of ice. We ordered the next one straight up. It was very good both ways. You know when you talk about it the next day, it must be pretty good.
Adam and I have cocktail hour at home once the kids go to bed. We have been in a rut lately so we brought out one of our cocktail books. That has certainly helped to jazz up our ?at home date.? We?ve had Lady of Leisure which was a gin and chambord drink. Last night we had Sex on The Dunes. We actually cracked out the unopened bottle of peach schnapps for that one. All in all, it?s been a good week for waking up the tastebuds.
