New Ride ~ Dave's Martinis ~ Tuna Casserole ~ Ride for Heroes ~ French Bread

Good 26º glad I left the heat on low last night morning! Burrrrrrrr....

Yesterday was interesting. I met up with Joe at Roe (I'm a poet!) Motors to sign the paperwork for my new vehicle. More on that later... 

with more pictures. Then to Brian's office to give him the information for my insurance. Then home, let Dude out, do some quick stuff here, and off to Nancy and Dave's to show off the new ride and have a martini. MAN OH MAN, does Dave make a POTENT martini!!! Wow. Good!!! 

He used Citadelle Gin

It's flavored with 19 herbs... It says "Deutsch" on the bottle so I assumed it was made in Germany. Not. Made in France. The herbs include coriander from Morocco, orange peel from Mexico, cardamom and nutmeg from India, licorice from China, cubeb pepper from Java, savory/violet/star anise from France, fennel from the Mediterranean, iris from Italy, cinnamon from Sri Lanka, almonds and lemon rind from Spain, cassia from Indochina, angelica from Germany, grains of paradise from West Africa, and cumin from Holland. !!! Very unique flavor. I gave Nancy and Dave some of my pickled with garlic and jalapeño little green tomatoes to make dirty martinis with. For each martini Dave used 3 shots of gin, 2/3 shot of the pickled tomato juice, ice and shook it up. OMG. One of those was wonderful, but two would put you sound asleep!!!! Thanks guys, that was fun!

National French Bread Day

National French Bread Day celebrates those long, airy loaves with the thin, crispy crust. The French don't actually call them French bread, of course. Their term for their country's signature baked good is "baguette." Great served with a meal like any other bread, or toasted or filled as in many appetizer recipes.
