Shaken, never stirred

I can honestly say that I am not a James Bond fan. Never have been. I believe I have managed to watch one movie in its entirety, but only one. But I do like the line. Especially now that I have found martinis. I number of years ago a friend introduced me to a dirty martini. It was nice. I do enjoy olives. But it didn't make me rush out and order one on a regular basis.

In October of 2009 my husband and I had fun doing "30 days of cocktails" We purchased copious amounts of alcohol and each night we would pick one and make cocktails. Ever since then we have kept a fairly well stocked liquor cabinet. In the month of April I felt the need to once again consume copious amounts of alcohol. On two different evenings scrapbooking I made martinis, lemon drops one night and chocolate martinis another. I found martinis that did make me rush out and have more. I have purchased my third batch of meyers lemons so I can create another round of lemon drops. The second batch was consumed during a ceramics party. Ok, so yes, I craft and I drink, it works for me.

Maybe with enough martinis I could get the appeal of Bond, James Bond.
