I think that you meant to point out the apple martini, not the lettuce.

Flavored martinis are pretty good though.

I just won't drink them in public.

And no, DETO isn't gay, he's just handsome.

martini's are gross.

Martinis are great. What are you talking about?

Dry vodka martini with garlic olives.

I made one the other night. It was amazing.

Plus they are a great way to get drunk.

Only flavored martinis are sweet.

Regular ones are just delicious.

Lightly flavored.

Not sweet.

Even if you order a martini with sweet vermouth, it's not that sweet.

i'm uploading to yousendit.com an e-cookbook that i got that recipe from. i'll post the link as soon as it's finished.

well everytime deto talks about them they have that nasty ass jollyrancher tasting alcohol in it
