What we ARE NOT eating Wednesday..........Margarita

So it was a long day in court, as if you did not know that from the lateness of this post! A Margarita sounded real good after negotiations and a resolution was reached, but sadly when I got home, we were out of tequila - or maybe never had any to begin with!


Margarita
not made from:  drinks, never mind the peanuts
wont serve:  me!

the intro:  none


50 ml tequila
30 ml Cointrrau
60 ml fresh lime (juice)

Shake and strain into salt-rimmed glass.

Tip:  Try Maldon salt for a spectacular effect. Because it's made of salt flakes the rim looks like it's topped with shards of glass.

And now since we won't be drinking, lets see what we could be eating!

How about some Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade?

If you have berries coming off, and you like spicy jelly, oh and want to put away some homemade goodies for gifts, then take a look here.

I've posted about my drinking before. Not pretty. I'm sure I would be lap dancing everyone after one of these. I'd better not.

Some days you just need a margarita! Gotta keep that tequila stocked!

Thanks for the shout-out Melynda - maybe some strawberry lemonade would do in a pinch?

What a shame about the lack of Tequila! Need to keep some around, for one of those days!!

Thanks for the shout out, on the Sticky Glazed Chicken!

Thanks for the mention, Melynda! I don't know about the Margarita, never tried it before! Yes, I'll go for Brenda's Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade, and a big jug please! :)

Oh dear. . .sorry about the lack of spirits to lift yours. I hope everything went well in court.

Sounds like a margarita was in order after the day you had! Hope you had a nice bottle of wine to substitute for that. Thanks so much for the shout out! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
