From the bartender’s corner: Sugarcane Martini

Having sugarcane juice laced with some lime juice and rock salt from the street side vendor was a big part of our growing up in India. Tried making a martini today with sugarcane juice. For this round, used ginger and tajin salt. For the alcohol, used gin. Might try vodka the next time – the nose was a bit flooded by the gin aroma.

One advantage of getting old

Was in Dallas for a quick and and out trip to attend a wedding. Did not have anything particular to do before the celebrations started. Thought it would be a good idea to sign up for a local 5K race.

And somehow, they thought it would be a good idea to give me a second position prize for my age group!!

It is not like I ran much faster (missed the 30 min mark by a few seconds). It is just that once you are within spitting distance of 60, I guess you are not left with too many runners!!
