Martinis

It is a Sunday evening and we had a delicious martini for our cocktail hour. For us that means gin and vermouth shaken in ice and poured into delicate glasses that have been keeping cold in the freezer. We watched football and simultaneously worked on the Wall Street Journal Crossword puzzle. Very relaxing and fun. For dinner I made oatmeal, buttermilk pancakes with blueberries, applesauce and sausage. There just wasn’t an appropriate wine for this meal so we had none. But the martini was sumptuous and the pancake dinner filling and delicious.
