I wish I had the kind of self confidence required to being this low-stakes chaos into the world.

Bell Beefer.

—> Swirl the vermouth in the glass, then dump it out. Strain gin into glass. Garnish with skewered olives. That’s a martini. Geez.

Man, does nobody here know how to make a martini? Geez. Get out a nick and nora glass. Plunk two olives in the bottom. Cover those olives with good dry vermouth. Grab a bar glass. Fill it with ice. Portion out some good dry gin. Stir it for 30 seconds. Skewer the olives. Set aside. —>

I know better, but I texted my partner that the Sox had a perfect game going.

So, White Sox fans, I jinxed that.
