Hump Day & Chill

Shaken, Not Stirred
Meryl Streep

During this downtime I've been thinking a lot about one of my favorite old Hollywood haunts Musso & Frank. I miss it, with it's great atmosphere, delicious food and amazing martini's. 

Thus today's Hump Day & Chill is brought to you by the martini, to be precise the Meryl Martini as concocted by one Meryl Streep during a performance of The Ladies Who Lunch in celebration of Stephen Sondheim's 90th Birthday.

Honestly I do think Streep is missing a branding opportunity here, she really should explore the Meryl Martini concept, I'd bet she'd make a killing doing it.

In the meantime, break out your own martini magic and Hump Day & Chill to one of these absolutely fabulous concoctions. 

Make mine gin straight up, two olives please.

Thank You!!!

Last night I dreamt of  French Dip sandwiches and Gin Martini's - but it was actually my reality carried over from my evening at Musso and Frank in Hollywood saying bon voyage to my BFF Brittney before she high tails it to Dallas, Texas that is. We had a grand time at the legendary Hollywood eatery. Oh, and I do highly recommend the French Dip, divine!

Nothing brings a bunch of c#nts together faster than something that is none of their f#cking business - there I said it!!!

Hump Day & Chill

Raise A Glass, Now Kiss My...
Angelina Jolie

Today I've got chills, they're multiplying...usually I have reserved today for a delicious side of man meat. But today I cam craving a different kind of "chill" the one belonging to the world of adult beverages. The martini to be exact.

"Yes" passing by landmark Hollywood restaurant Musso and Frank reminded me of days of yore when I spent time on the Blvd., Hollywood that is seeing movies almost every weekend at the Grauman's Chinese Theater and then sauntering down to M & F for a gin martini with two olives.

Gin was my jam, a vodka martini almost seemed like an amateur concoction and a two martini chill @ Musso's was a quadruple treat. That's correct minions when the bartender made them while you watched there was always an extra something more that he poured into a side decanter that made it equal two, thus two for one! Trust only a couple of rounds and my boots were made for more than walking.

So join moi and Ms. Angelina Jolie and raise a glass and "Chill" - because it's "Hump Day" after all...

For those about to rock, I salute you!
