Tonight was a girls’ night. AHHHH finally! I didn’t have to cook, didn’t have think about what to cook, or worry about what we are going to eat if I didn’t cook. The girls and I met up at a martini “lounge” down the street from the house. Wednesdays they have half priced martinis and tapas, so you can double the amount you would normally drink right? They have a pretty good selection of martinis on their menu along with a decent choice of tapas to choose from, although I don’t think many people were paying much attention to the food. Although, I did try their crab dip, not sure how it fits into the whole Spanish tapas thing, but I am going to have to try and make it because it was ridiculously good. They served it with warm pita bread.

Absolutely Impeared

I tried the Passion Martini which had sugar around the rim of the glass, really sticky once it started dripping down my glass. I also tried Absolutely Impeared which is the green martini pictured above.

Passion Martini – not exactly how they make it, but it won’t be as sweet

2 parts Peach Schnapps
2 parts Vodka
1 part Pineapple Juice
1 part Cranberry Juice

I would omit the sugar around the rim!

Absolutely Impeared – again not their drink recipe, I got this one from Absolut’s website

2 parts Absolut Pear
1 part Sprite
1 part Melon Liqueur
1 Part Sour Mix
Cherry or Lime, Flowers and Umbrellas!

Hi! My name is Carrie. I started this blog 11 years ago when I was newly married. We had no kids, only two little furbabies. I loved to cook back then. It was so rewarding to see how I could combine ingredients that I had never tried and make this really wonderful meal. Fast forward 11 years and now I have two boys, 6 and 8 years old. They are literally the toughest critics I have ever fed. Which, let's face it, makes cooking less fun. My goal for this site is to involve my entire family in our meals and post our progress in the kitchen... Lord willing and the creek don't rise.
