Test methods to become a successful blogger.

In an effort to update more, I'm throwing around the idea of having a P.O.T.D. (Photo of the Day) section on my blog. It would be random photos I found around the internet or on my computer, accompanied with a brief description. Also, you would send me photos as well! It could be fun, maybe..

However, today I'm going to start with an annoyance of mine (I hope that this doesn't become a section as well). Here goes.

Pet Peeve #27 -- Chocolate Martinis


Dear god. I feel that since I tend bar I am justified in bitching about this. I HATE HATE HATE making the Chocolate Martini (and why did I feel I had to capitalize those words?).

1. I get that you're a self important Sylvania Mom, and you probably feel really classy ordering it, but the chocolate martini is overrated. Please people, this isn't 2006 or 7, why has the chocolate martini phenomenon not ended? Try something new!

2. Tacky. That's all.

3. Chocolate is delightful and vodka is excellent, but ordering them together pretty much just illustrates that you lack knowledge and/or appreciation of either. I think Anthony Bourdain said it best: "Anyone who requests this drink should also get a T-shirt that says " 'I am an asshole, please take my money.' "*

That's all.

**I do have close friends who enjoy this beverage, and to them I apologize. We can't all be perfect, right?
