My wife thinks I'm crazy... is not news. Why, you might ask.

Your history is off. California was a territory that became a state. Texas was a republic. We stole Texas far and square.

The bear on the flag says "California Republic".

Yes, you did... and da** you all for it!! But of course... we stole it from Mexico first.

Start with a Bombay Gin Martini with two olives, stirred not shaken*. Keep the Gin in the freezer so that the Martini will not be poisoned with the ice.








































* Ian Fleming screwed up Martinis by using vodka and shaking. Shaking clouds the drink and melts the ice in the drink. Who would want a drink with piss water from ice in it.

A Mixologist on Bar Rescue said that you only shake drinks that have fruit juice in them.

I figure James Bond always wants his Vodka Martini shaken and not stirred because by shaking it you melt more of the ice. He never has time to finish a drink and the few sips he takes have less alcohol in them due to melted ice. Gotta be sober to take on the bad guys!
