So I had a martini ...

... as research.  I just got a call from my sister as she pulled her trial run out of the oven. 

I have not moved physically toward my meal but I can't stop thinking about it.  Here's where I am.  A horseradish stuffed olive martini.  Hence the research.  I needed to know what they are supposed to taste like from someone who actually knows how to make one.  (I'm historically a beer and wine kind-of girl.)  But I got mine at a wedding and I am not sure that was the best place to try it.  I think I need to do more research at some swanky bar.  Anything for a victory right?

My appetizer - kale chips with a horseradish white bean dip.  And then I am not sure.  Maybe there will be some inspiration on the menu at that swanky bar I need to visit.

I'm on schedule for my official day of cooking next Sunday.  I am asking our friend Jon Tillar to be my guest judge.  He is a musician and a private cook.  I'll let you know if he accepts.

Kind-of wish I was at my sister's to taste her trial run.
