I’m guessing I’m the last to know this but I saw an Insta post by a chef who was peeling a potato & casually said “yes I’m using the fork trick” and I’ve just tried it and it’s SO MUCH EASIER!!

Saturday night film - Steve Martin, Lilly Tomlin (and a dog) in body sharing comedy All of Me (1984). Also stars Victoria Tennant who became his wife a year or two later.
(Accompanied by G&T garnished with orange, cinnamon stick and cloves for that snowy day feeling)

A Martini Perfect
First time I’ve tried this variation - gin, white vermouth, red vermouth, dash of angostura bitters and a twist of orange peel
