I had a fun time last night at my friend Cristiane's event at the Keating Hotel in downtown San Diego. A few times a year she has a happy-hourish event to show off her line of Brazilian-styled handbags, belts, and accessories. It's great mingling time with fun people, and I get to practice my Portuguese with Cris, who is from São Paulo, Brasil. I got a bunch of pictures of some of her designs and of her with the other attendees, but got back too late to include any in this post. (So tired!) See her work at http://lachicachic.com/.
My one drink last night was a martini, and fortunately the bartender listened and made it the way I like. About one part vermouth to three parts gin (when I asked for a martini, he actually asked, "Vodka?"! I didn't say "vodka martini", did I?), and stirred, not shaken. Most people want martinis with much less vermouth, but I like the flavor of it. And for drinks that are all alcohol (no juices) stirring makes for a much smoother taste.
