Summary: In our frenzied world, the cocktail hour truly is a lost hour. For most people, that is. But Donald Strachey and Tim Callahan usually find time to relax with a couple of martinis.

Recipes:

Lemon-Parsley Gougeres from delish.com. I added pesto to these — truly delish!

Peggy's Cheese Savories from food.com. These taste like puffy Cheez-Its.

Of course, vodka martinis are a necessity.
