3 oz. gin or vodka
1/2 tsp. of dry vermouth
1/2 tsp. sweet vermouth
cocktail olive
Combine all liquid ingredients with ice cubes in a mixing glass and stir well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with the olive.
Enjoy!
Did you know....
Vermouth is a fortified wine enhanced with herbs and spices. Its name was inspired by a German wine fortified with wormwood, an herb used in distilling absinthe. Today vermouth is used in many coctails, including the martini.

hoax
Gift certificate hoax
I did receive this e-mail back in December and am glad I ignored it. I usually do ignore these types.
Claim: Applebee's Restaurant is giving away $50 gift certificates to customers who forward an e-mail message.
False
This is how the letter goes:

In an attempt to get our name out to more people in the rural communities where we are not currently located, we are offering a! $50 gift certificate to anyone who forwards this email to 9 of their friends. Just send this email to them and you will receive an email back with a confirmation number to claim your gift certificate.

Sorry, it's already off the sidebar as a top search on Snopes and has been replaced by Muslims in Australia.

Groundhog Day
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow again. He always sees his shadow.
Love the movie with Bill Murray and Andie Macdowell
"The legend of Groundhog Day is based on an old Scottish couplet: "If Candlemas Day is bright and clear, there'll be two winters in the year."
Every February 2, people gather at Gobbler's Knob, a wooded knoll just outside of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.
Residents contend that the groundhog has never been wrong.
The ceremony in Punxsutawney was held in secret until 1966, and only Phil's prediction was revealed to the public. Since then, Phil's fearless forecast has been a national media event.
The groundhog comes out of his electrically heated burrow, looks for his shadow and utters his prediction to a Groundhog Club representative in "groundhogese." The representative then translates the prediction for the general public.
If Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter. If he does not see his shadow, it means spring is just around the corner.
Approximately 90% of the time, Phil sees his shadow.
Phil started making predictions in 1887 and has become an American institution."
