Frozen Fluffernutter Martini

When I was a little girl, there were only two kinds of kid-approved sandwiches and both involved peanut butter.  The classic PB&J, of course, and the fluffernutter.  That ingenious combination of sweet marshmallow fluff and salty peanut butter was perfect on its own or with the addition of some sliced bananas.  OK, sometimes there was some chocolate hazelnut spread as well but the fluff was the constant.

Springtime Martini

Hooray for the first day of spring!  It may take a little while longer for the snow to melt and the cherry blossoms to flower but I'm happy nonetheless.  This winter has lasted way too long and I'm ready to celebrate its departure.

Lemon Meringue Martini

This drink dates back to when we finally broke down and bought our first bottle of whipped vodka.  We scoffed at first but suddenly all these vodka brands were getting themselves whipped and fluffed and we couldn't fight it off anymore.  So when we were browsing around the liquor store (yes, we are the kind of people who browse in liquor stores) one of those bottles went into our basket.  Back home we approached it with some doubt as to whether it would taste sweet or artificial but, it was good.  Really good.
