Some favorite things

Tom Olives

Tom Olives

I discovered these little beauties at Legal Seafoods in a martini special and then my lovely wife hunted them down on the web at Old South and obtained them for a Christmas present.
They are pickled green grape tomatoes and they are very very good. Here is my recipe for my preferred martini with them: 2 1/2 measures of Bombay Sapphire Gin, 1/2 measure Lilllett, shake with ice till really cold, skewer 3 tom olives and submerge. Drink...Savor...


Richard Grant Wrotham Pinot Sparkling Wine

Richard Grant Wrotham Pinot 2001 Reserve Napa Valley Sparkling Wine

I discovered this small producer on a trip to San Francisco and the Napa Valley Winery Exchange, later I found I could order this wine direct from them. Beautiful sparkling wine with small bubbles, pink gold color, dry, medium body, mmmmmm

Oh and I played around with using a small LED light to outline things in these pictures on a 15 second exposure...

I like your new format.
 
Thanks Roy, I remember seeing those pictures when I went to the big Picasso exhibit in Madrid a few years ago. -James
 
... swap the gin to Tanqueray, add a shot of 100proof vodka and you are will on your way to enjoying a Vesper ...
