happy weekend, and thank you oaxaca

We were drinking my favorite beverage, Tequila on Cinco de Mayo, and RR said to try Mezcal.
Mezcal is from Oaxaca, and has a distinctive smokey taste. It also makes you feel light and happy, (I  deduced) and has health benefits such as aiding digestion and acting as an aphrodisiac (I will not tell you if that has been deduced)! All I can say is I have a new favorite beverage, and if any of you are Tequila fans and haven't tried Mezcal, get to it, it's delicious. And have a happy weekend!

Have a fun weekend!

Definitely need this drink set!
Headed to artMRKT San Francisco tomorrow. I  hope in addition to contemporary work there will be some Bay Area Figurative work.

Like this Diebenkorn, Girl Looking at Landscape, from 1957.

What are your plans?

For the fanciest Martini ever!

Just saw these Twig Martini Sticks in one of Amber Alexander's Etsy treasuries. If I had millions I would definitely own a set of these!

Our drinks!

Such a perfect present for your favorite heavy drinker!

Happy Martini time!

So simple, and so good! I am craving a dirty martini...yes, it is only after 11am, but it's Friday.
Do you prefer vodka to gin, if so you haven't actually tried a gin martini, because they are amazing!
For some reason none of the recipes I found include bitters, but we like to put a little splash of it in too.

Have a fun weekend!

I am going to be drinking this!

And maybe watching some of this. For your health! Painting by Fay Helfer
