The Martini Chronicles Pt.14

And here it is, the 14th instalment of your most favourite series. Let’s get down to business:

The Martini Chronicles Pt.14

This, Ladies and Gentleman, is the perfect Martini. At least when it comes to being true to what creating a Martini is all about. Which would be to create the perfect Martini, of course.

As you can see, the garnish is a lemon twist, which according to this book my girlfriend gave me for my birthday, was the original garnish (and not the olive, which was introduced a while later and led to a lot of scoffing by Martini-purists).

I also used Dutch gin this time, which is said to have a fuller flavour than London gin. I must say, I think it was one of the best Martinis I’ve had to date.

In Your Face

Stumbled upon this via MetaFilter. According to a study

men who were most open to casual sex were generally perceived as being more masculine-looking, with facial features that generally included squarer jaws, larger nose and smaller eyes. This finding confirms that women see masculine men as more likely to be unfaithful.

The research also showed that women who were open to short-term sexual relationships were usually seen by others as more attractive. These women tended to have wide eyes and large lips, and were usually viewed as more attractive by men.#

Uh, yes. So hot people tend to bed more people than ugly people. Did we really need a study for that? Especially one that uses the same logic as Phrenology?
