Ev'rything I need
to know about hosting I
learned from Auntie Mame.



The rest is a lie:
pretentious martinis have
no place at parties.

Oh, and we usually travel with a pair of spun-steel up glasses in the luggage. One too many Imperial Coronations where the up drinks were served in tumblers/water glasses and got warm wayyyy too fast (that's the reason for the stem, after all -- so the chilled but ice-free drink won't be warmed by your hand wrapped around the bowl of the glass).

Plus it had the added bonus that no one could tell what was actually *in* my martini glass; a good part of the evening it would be just soda and lime.

We didn't pack them for this Vegas trip because we weren't throwing any parties. I won't make that mistake for Denver next month*. :-)

*We still aren't throwing any parties, but I'd rather have them with and not need them than the other way around.
