It began with the pomegranate martini

The talk of starting a blog began with our running commentaries on the pomegranate martinis sampled at various restaurants around the Triangle. For example, the pom martini at Bonefish is awesome, while the fizzy pom martini wannabe at Tribeca Tavern really disappointed. Sometimes we branch out to other drinks, such as the one at Hayes Barton that we can never remember, but remember which server made it and just ask her each time for "that really good drink that you made last time we were here."

Now, with a lot more martinis, restaurants, and trips behind us, we know we love to eat, enjoy our beverages, have a ball traveling, and laugh all the time. Life is short. Why waste time not enjoying it to the fullest? And if we can make someone else laugh with our sense of what tickles us, why not share?

Fair warning, posts will most likely be my opinion based solely on unprofessional criteria totally dependent on my mood at the time. I tend to take a ton of photos of food, beverages, and other people (a la people of wal-mart), so that should at least keep it visually interesting around here. I get a kick out of trying local food and beer when I travel, so will include that kind of stuff too.

This is pretty much going to be a big dumping ground for food, drink, travel, and anything else interesting at the time kind of place. I hope you enjoy it.

And in case you were wondering, the header photo was taken last weekend from the balcony of our room at the Hampton Inn Oceanfront in Myrtle Beach. Totally recommend it, especially when you pay with points. :-)
