Saturday, February 7th, 2009

Day 3
Today was a bit more of a challenge. Saturdays we are lazy. We don’t like to cook on Saturdays. We managed to make a nice breakfast (thanks to D), but lost all motivation to make a good lunch. We decided on yesterday’s leftovers. By the afternoon guilt was setting [...]

Anyone who knows me can tell you that I love martinis and Las Vegas more than the average person. However, I must draw the line at a $2,000 martini! The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s elite bar, Body English, has created the ultimate martini. The Aristocrat Martini is a blend of only [...]
