Chapter 1:

The Hot Chocolate Martini

Yup, those are marshmallows adorning martini glasses at Big River.  This drink was number three in the line-up, a Swiss-miss-tini.  Why? Because Heather, Erika, and I were celebrating lot's of things, but among them, the first meeting between Heather and Erika.  I constantly talk about one to the other and I couldn't believe that for so long, they hadn't met.  Hence, the occasion.

On a Wednesday night, I put on some heels, a little mascara, and mosied on down to Bar 101 on 1st street in Corvallis (adjacent to Big River and something of a sports bar for girls).  I started with blueberry infused vodka and moved on to something called a Havana-tini that tasted a lot like a mojito.  Over dinner we chatted it up, talking about tribabe.com (Erika is learning to screen print), cycling (cyclocross season is coming), triathlon (one more to go), babies... had to add some real girl stuff.  Then, the cameras came out:

And the dessert was ordered (NY Cheesecake of course)!

And the evening ended with a drunken bike ride home.
