Sweet! Almost missed the fact that today is NATIONAL MARTINI DAY. Man, we need to get on top of our National Holidays. How could we let this one pass us….
Anyways, today is National Martini Day. Martini, martini, martini – how I love thee. A cute little newsletter that we subscribe to, by Hungry Girl, informed us of the fact that today is in fact a holiday, and she included 3, THREE, low calorie, highly tasty, drool worthy martinis. Score!
