Educational Martini(s)

Sometimes school is too much to handle and our team goes out for a drink after we study or work on a project.  But Thursday was a little different...maybe it's because Ke$ha was in Charlotte.

Fitzgerald's gets a lot of this post studying decompressing time, but on Thursday John was stuck in traffic so we wound up there before we even got started!  "Just one glass of wine and we're going to study" I said with conviction.  But when John arrived we didn't go to school, we stayed at the bar and the glass of wine turned into a lemon drop martini (magic).  Great sugar rim, good flavor (1/2 off helps too!), but the lemon wedge was awkward and chunky.  After an hour and once the glitterfied Ke$ha concert goers left, we did go practice our presentation; the first three times were flawless...but there was a lot of giggling. And then at 9:00 we ended up right back where we started, only 3 of us this time. And 2 more lemon drops.  My glass got larger each time, but Jessica's got smaller - weird.

Overall, 6 for the lemon drops - a little sticky!
