A journal of my home vegetable garden. Skippy thinks it's his garden, but I've been gardening here for 20 years. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6). I have a big community garden plot and a small plot in my yard. I try to grow all of my family's vegetables using sustainable organic methods.
A pretty little North Carolina Pickling cucumber is my first this year. As usual.... And what to do to celebrate the first cucumber? A martini of course.
(my nails look like I've been digging potatoes! yes.)

Shaken or stirred?

OK, so a friend of mine (who is a prof at MIT and a studied mixologist - I believe him) says martinis and other clear drinks should be stirred NOT shaken as Bond preferred. He stirs 30 times (very patient). Says this keeps it clear, I think maybe he had other reasons too, but I focus more on what to put in it.
I sometimes stir, sometimes shake. The shaking has a nice sound. Stirring is easier.
This one was stirred. About 10 times. With the cuke on the green mermaid pick.
Cheers!
