The martinis are a great story. I didn't drink before I met her but just what she would call fru fru drinks. Primarily Smirnoff Ice, triple filtered. I kept drinking those for a while until she made me a Stoli martini, extra dirty. I went from 3% alcohol per volume to 40%. Yep, that shocked me, I caughed as it burnt going down. Now I love the stuff and can't get enough. Frozen strawberry margaritas are good too.
Oh by the way, for a perfect martini add 2oz Stoli vodka to a shaker full of ice, and about 1/8-1/4oz olive juice depending on how dirty you like it (or not at all!) Pour 1/2oz dry vermouth into the martini glass and swirl it around to coat the entire inside of the glass, then pour out the extra. Shake the vodka well to get it nice and cold, pour and taste. Add olive juice as needed for taste.
I've found that by coating the glass with the dry vermouth instead of shaking it with the vodka creates a better balance of taste.
So we are each other's bitches, I can't really complain with that as long as it stays that way. I get what I want, she gets what she wants. Can you believe she likes to clean and cook? freak...
