If I get a ticket for dangerous driving.... I will not contest!
Photography while driving is as sure to cause an accident as texting - do not attempt.
Cheers! Linda :-)
Linda. I am having a basil gin martini tomorrow night! I had a drink at the Left Bank restaurant here with basil, but it was too sweet. This sounds so good. Love basil anything.
ReplyDeleteVery cool car. Remember," Herbie Rides Again?" I think I saw that or something like, "Superdad," with a beatle for one of my first walk-in movies in 3rd grade. Those bugs are so darn cute. Very So. Cal.
How are you doing? I am always tempted to snap photos and drive too!

Hello Kim! Thanks for asking, I'm doing well. :-)
DeleteToo sweet is a problem with most martinis.
Which got me to thinking about one I've had at White Bark in the Westin in Mammoth Lakes. Vodka, cucumber and Jalapeno - yum!
And cocktails from the list at Little Dom's in LA / Los Feliz.... must find a reason to go there again.
Cheers!
Love basil always and truly, will have to try it in a martini. Sounds like a splendid summer sip!
ReplyDeleteThere are "martini days" when this is the only one that will quench my thirst!
