1/2 oz St Germain
6 oz gin
Dry Vermouth

Chill two Martini glasses

Slice the pear, reserve four slices.
Chop the rest of the pear finely and add to shaker with ice
Add St Germain
Muddle contents
Add Gin, shake, and serve

Also, ganked from [livejournal.com profile] lunylucy, PETA is trying to campaign to change the name of "fish" to "sea kittens" to try to convince people not to eat fish because they are cute and cuddly. They say, and I quote, "No one would ever eat a Sea Kitten!"

AND THEY HAVE A MEME:


Create Your Own Sea Kitten at peta.org!

That PETA thing is the most hilarious/ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

I know! I am just like, I had Sea Kitten for dinner last night! I have to assume they are just doing it for the publicity.

Oh I have no doubt it is just for the publicity. I just enjoyed the giggle I got from it! It reminds me of weird cartoons with seahorses and seacats and seadogs! HEAD OF CAT, BODY OF FISH!!!

Agreed.

It sounds like mermaid porn.

The kind of mermaid where the fish part is on top and the lady part is on the bottom?

Ha! I hadn't taken the idea that far.

Mmmm pears... and sea kittens... I love the name you gave yours. Is that salmon?

[identity profile] zia-narratora.livejournal.com 2009-01-10 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is salmon! I want to make sure to state, however, that it is locally farmed salmon and not salmon from over-sea-kittened Baltic waters!

Aw, dang! I had a punk rock elephant tuna Sea Kitten!

Yeah, it doesn't work :( I had a punk rock unicorn trout-Sea Kitten with a mustache and a mohawk. They could be friends.

Expecting fish to live like cats, with a litter box and water bowl - now THAT is fish cruelty.
