Wisdom is also the guy who first thought of smushing blue cheese into humongous olives.

I had one of those for the first time last week.  Oh my gosh, was it good.   :drool:

Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting tomatoes in fruit salad

Seems like some mighty bold flavors in there that could cause the watermelon to disappear into the background. Still I might have to try it and hope the saltiness of the cheese and the acid of the tomato and vinaigrette enhance the melon.

It won't, it's all wrong. Just trying to save you the trouble.  :p

I have never heard of blue cheese-stuffed olives.  Don't they put an oil slick on the martini?

Setting the stage for the perfect martini:
Ice in freezer, gin (my preference was Beefeaters) and olives (anchovy-stuffed for me) in fridge, vermouth in cabinet beside fridge.

Assembly:
Put ice in large glass. put gin and as many olives as desired in said glass. Open cabinet door and let gin SEE vermouth, and quickly close door.
Drink as desired.

Possibly, but it's a very small price to pay.

Depends on how long you leave the olive in the martini. If you eat the olive right away, no. If you let it sit there...it will "cloud" up the martini more than make an oil slick. I prefer to stuff my olives myself, rather than buy them prestuffed. The big green ones that are not packed in oil. 

I tend to leave mine in at least until half gone. I like the flavor the stuffed olive gives the martini and the martini flavoring the olive.
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.
