    What's your favorite martini?

    Probably should have asked "what's your favorite specialty martini", but I suspect the purists, or just the opinionated (myself included) still wouldn't have been able to resist side railing the thread. For myself, one of my favorite non-standards is the Smoky 'tini - Gin, splash of scotch...

    Bit of Drinking Advice

    My boss was mentioning that when he worked at a higher end restaurant in DC, they were famous for winning various classic martini competitions (and generally getting customers saying how much they loved them). Turns out their "secret" was they basically didn't use vermouth at all, and they...

    Nice, looking forward to it.

    I purchased my first hat at Byrnie Utz!

    It's where I picked up my (one and only, so far) hat. They were also quite good about letting me try on anything I wanted.

    Bit of Drinking Advice

    Why, yes, yes I have. Still, it wouldn't stop me from trying an apple "martini". While I do agree that "martini" is overused to describe the various concoctions that are branded with it's name, and that a vodka based drink probably shouldn't be called a martini - I've had a few specialty...

    Heh, so do I, but perhaps not quite as enthusiastically. lol Besides, he's got a better looking mug than me, so he makes a good avatar until I get a snap of me with my hat! But thanks - and I just posted some info on a Powell movie on TCM elsewhere. Carry on, ladies!

    What are your unreleased dvd wants?

    Just as a FYI - Scarecrow Video here in Seattle might possibly be a useful resource. They are primarily rental - and the most amazing source of obscure films. However, they do a lot of sales as well, and you can check both their rental and retail stock on-line.

    Double Harness

    After seeing the William Powell flick in Scotrace's ironing thread, of all things - I decided it would be good to set my Tivo to record him when he came up. Whadda know, it nabbed two flicks right away. Mr. Roberts (pretty much his last picture), and one I hadn't heard of, Double Harness...

    A Tip Of My Hat To You All...

    Greetings and welcome! I may be taking a (quick, overnight) trip to Chi-town in a few weeks - it'd be my first time there!

    Goodness knows a lot of the menfolk are very intimidated by the thought of posting in the PR! I know I never would… and certainly would never read it… excepting to wonder what the new forums are about. Yeah, excepting that! ;)

    Japan’s Textbooks Reflect Revised History

    Excellent points, LaMedecine! Certainly US history has been whitewashed, and any history is, of course, influenced (even if only subconsciously) by the historian. Sometimes what is easy to see in others - because you have an outsider's view - is difficult to also see in yourselves. I...

    How to do It: Stiff Starch Grandma's Way

    Japan’s Textbooks Reflect Revised History

    Yikes. "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Looks like they are setting up for repetition.

    Your signature cocktail.

    Thanks for the book recommendation - I'll echo that I was unable to find it in various book searches for less than $100. As for the ratio, in the "standard" version, I see the sugar as being helpful, as the lemon juice is a bit much. I'll try your suggested ratio next.

    The morning after...Ow... my eyes...Hangover help.

    Typically, I still have enough facilities left when I'm heading to bed, to remember to drink a bunch of water, and take an aspirin, before I hit the sack. That always helps me out.

    Your signature cocktail.

    Right - the search function discovers he's not a fan of the sugar rimming. I'll try one without, but I think I like it with (possibly because I like things sweet, and I can get away with this version) Wikipedia sez (as in another thread, he asked who started the ridiculous practice of rimming...
