Gherkin Martini. Seriously?

Before you all go wtf is that in there?! Its a Gherkin. 


I get a tad delirious from a full week in front of a PC by Friday afternoons and weird ideas/jokes that aren't even funny come out of my head. I've even revamped the recipe below just for kicks and whilst this is being typed I wonder if a few drops of soy sauce would go well with the original recipe...

Its Friday arvo and my mind is reeling from trading shares and managed funds all morning and deciphering hieroglyphics all arvo....


And the Dirty Martini pops into mind, asking if it can pop around a bit earlier today...


*daydreamer* o.O 


The www is the closest I ever get to many of the things I want (which is an endless list of amazingness), so here I share a recipe from 

Dirty Martini Ingredients

60ml (or approx 2 oz) Gin
10ml (or approx 1/4 oz) Dry Vermouth
5ml (or approx 1/8 oz) olive brine REPLACE with Gherkin Pickle
3 green olives (add or remove olives to your taste)
small wedge of lemon (optional)

Dirty Martini Directions

Into a cocktail shaker, pour the Gin, Dry Vermouth and olive brine Gherkin Pickle.
Add ice.
Shake well.
Rub the rim of the martini glass with the wedge of lemon.
Strain and pour contents of cocktail shaker into a martini glass.
Drop the olives into the martini before serving.

French Affair

I love my scarves; there's nothing more feminine than a printed wispy scarf gently wrapped around the delicate neck of a female. This number is a sheer woven black cotton beauty, with an earth tone peacock feather print. And they double up as a lampshade for to add some texture to the scene ^_^ ~ sportsgirl scarf, benefit rosie lip tint ~ LuciLatte using Blogpress on iPhone

I'm infatuated with these OTK suede boots!

Wednesday is my mid week day off and the adelaide central markets is where I head to at 9am, not only to get the freshest produce but also to take advantage of the 2 hour free parking ^_^ I also love layering up this winter with black boots as my style highlight, ankle, knee high, OTK, heel, flat, lace up, zip up, in either suede, buckskin or leather...which reminds me of what the Joanne Mercer sales rep and me talked about...

Rep: Did you want to take both the Suede and the Buckskin boots?
Luci: whats the difference between suede and buckskin?
Rep: Buckskin is like suede but without the fur.
L: So if i don't look after my suede, in time it will become buckskin, no?
R: *lol* yes that's right! But no one's pointed that out before!

I'm still such a cheapskate.

Lazy Wednesday

I love my wednesdays off, like on the weekends, I get to give some attention to loved items forgotten at the back of the wardrobe and bottom of the drawers. Today was below 5'C when I woke up, so I dug up my 100% merino wool turtleneck in Ink, and to make sure I don't overheat (which I hate), mixed it with fleece tights, a stretchy skirt and a medium weight khaki jacket.

I had a nice day in that ^_^

Sorry about the blur pics, I've been using my crappy iPhone cam cos it uploads faster....yeah I know, lame excuse.
