I kept myself up way too late last night, talking with friends about war, history, and politics.

Uncharacteristically, I awoke with a start this morning before my alarm belted out its siren call only to head butt one of my cats who was sneaking up for an early morning cuddle.

I felt perfectly lucid for about 15 minutes, but now I feel tired again. Feh.

Martini Night was reasonable tonight. The martinis tasted better than the hors d'oeuvres, with the exception of the dessert, which was luscious. The first course was a dirty martini with a shrimp and olive stuffed cucumber. Cilantro was involved.

Nope. I still don't like green olives or dirty martinis.

Next up was a peach martini with a peach and fig crostini topped with feta cheese and a balsamic reduction sauce. Tasty

This was followed by a melon martini and some melon-wrapped prosciutto. The melon wasn't ripe enough, imho.

Cod cakes was next. Like crabcakes but...coddy. A lemon drop martini was provided with this little treat.

The dessert was chocolate mousse with whipped cream swirled through it topped with brownie bits. That was decadent. The martini accompanying this had a chocolate liqueur in it, but also smelled of Amaretto. Or maybe that was me.

Overall, the evening was full of delightful conversation and friends.


In other news, the security system wasted a lot of my time today. I hope to be closer tomorrow.
