They're biscuits and I will die on this hill.

Perhaps here we can settle the biscuit debate once and for all here. Everyone in favour of Jaffa Cakes at the secret 77th Brigade meetings in North Yorkshire, say "Aye".

Magic happens when gin combines with dry vermouth. Something cosmic, something alchemical. A whole greater than the sum of its parts.

I'm also not a fan of the "wave the gin bottle in the general direction of Italy" school of thought. That's just an excuse to get drunk on gin while trying to look sophisticated by drinking it from a fancy glass. The vermouth is essential.

Many thanks!
I am a big fan of the dirty martini, which includes a splash of olive brine.

It's paywalled 🙃
(Well, not worth the free 30-day trial for Scribd).

Yes, it's hugely disappointing. I am involved in a twar "over there" concerning the issue of whether a so-called vodka 'martini' should be allowed to be called a martini at all, and this would have been an authoritative source.

Olives are definitely riskier than cocktail onions, if not stored properly.

If it contains a cocktail onion, it's a Gibson, not a martini.

I posted a link on my feed to a Chrome app that does that.

If your LMS supports it, or if there is a plugin for it, I have had some success with a course wiki.
I've made it an assessable component before, to stimulate engagement (number and quality of contributions), but assessment requires a lot of work.

Yep.
Thrilled for them, but a bit of Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon, Louise Bourgeois, Basquiat... wouldn't go amiss.
