Tequila, it's how I know there really is both God and Beelzebub. I mean, who else but the Big Guy would think of disguising this perfectly delicious, and legal, halucinogen in the cactus plants, and who else but Satan would make the consumption of same leave a scar, and not one you can always show off to your friends later. :barf:
Anyway, I'm on my 2nd frozen of the afternoon and it's not even 5:30 p.m., so I'm guessing there could be trouble later on this evening :freak: I could be macho and tell you I'm on my 2nd pitcher of 'ritas already, and that would be true ... But the rest of the truth is the first pitcher ran all over the counter in the kitchen :banghead One of those prices you pay for having this 25-odd year old blender and the washer doesn't always seat like it's supposed to ... It still crunches ice pretty darn well, let me tell ya' ... Old one, Betty Crocker brand, some knock off from late 70s, don't even know if they make 'em any longer ... Thick glass jar, beat-up & scratched stainless base ... We cut the present washer from some 90-durometer rubber at the fab-assembly shop I worked at for a short while, that's another reason it has a tendencey to leak with little or no recourse to action.
Are y'all getting this? ... I really do not want to have to repeat myself. :drinkin:
Anyway, tequila is a wonderful ingredient ... Never known anything that will loosen a person's tongue and britches faster than tequila ... But my wife said she wanted to find me in a better mood tonight when she got home than I was last night ... I'm also not allowed to utter the following words: The Astros suck.
So I'm getting myself in a better mood ... She's gotta' give me at least a thumbs-up for trying, right? :thumbsup: Plus I've got some good news to give her about a little windfall we just came into ... Didn't win the lottery or anything, but brought home a comma today as part of some good fortune ... Getting good news on the money front today made me feel like, well, happier than a pig eatin' corn, that's how good ... If you've never seen the smile on the face of a pig feeding on maize, well, you're missing one helluva' smile.
Where was I? ... I had a reason to post this before, what the hell was it? ... :sigh: Oh yeah, just to ask everyone to join me in a 'rita and toasting something, anything going right in the world or on your plate today.
The Perfect Frozen 'Rita
Easiest recipe I ever heard was, unfortunately, designed for one of those really cool machines that I'm going to get two of if I ever do win the lotto ... The mix was 5-4-3-2-1, relating to water (ice), tequila, fresh lime juice, Triple Sec and Simple Syrup.
I say buy those little 6-oz cans of Minute Maid® limejuice cans, a bottle of cheap tequiila, bottle of Triple Sec (a big one will last forever), a teaspoon or so of sugar, some fresh ice and a good blender ... Fill quart blender about 3/4 way with ice, add whole can of lime juice, next a can and then some of tequila, a shot of Sec, sugar for your tooth, let 'er rip ... Salt the glass if you want, always serve a 'Rita with a straw, and remember to tip your waitresses and waiters heavy tonight, they're here just to serve you.
:Peace:
