PROMPT May 1st Tell us something uplifting! We need good news now more than ever. What is something positive that happened or is about to happen in your life? What has made you smile recently? Hello everyone and welcome to May! Here we are again for an inspiring and motivating blogging challenge. I'm anxious to see what everyone blogs. I FINALLY got a good night's sleep last night so I woke up happy and refreshed and ready to meet the day. I threw open the windows and the sliding glass door. Fed both the pets and poured myself an extra-large mug of coffee with milk, a real treat for me. I sipped my coffee on the back patio and inspected all the flowers we have blooming. The clock struck eight and I knew it was time to work. I checked the weather and I checked the calendar. It was time to turn the page and a smile spread across my face. A laugh crept up from inside. A little shiver of glee ran from my fingers to my toes. The calendar said May 1st. May 1st! And that can only mean one thing...well two things... The first is that it's the start of a new official blogging challenge. New friends. New blog posts. New laughs. And even some new tears. But it's blogging time in the official sense. And the second...well...it's only four days until May 5th! Cinco de Mayo! Here in California that means tacos and chips and salsa and burritos and beans and guacamole and rice and tamales and a whole lot of cerveza. And more importantly...margaritas! Finally it's time to celebrate and sip those tasty frozen drinks. Ahem! They're not always frozen. But frozen or not it's time for one of my favorite cocktails. And in the spirit of getting ready to celebrate all things "Cinco de Mayo" I dug up my favorite recipe (yes, I'm a nerd and need a recipe to mix a cocktail) and hung it on the fridge. Then I thought of all of you awesome bloggers and decided we should all celebrate! Even though we now live in a world of social distancing I don't see any reason why we can't celebrate. So here's my challenge - Use my recipe below or one of your own and then tell us how it all turned out. And if you have a picture that would be awesome too. So here you go: Best Margaritas on the Planet 2 oz silver tequilla (yes, silver. not amber) 1 oz cointreau 1 oz lime juice Coarse Salt Chill a glass and then run the rim in lime juice. Then coat the rim in coarse salt. Add tequilla, cointreau, lime juice and ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake the heck out of that shaker. Dance around a bit. Put your hips into it. Have fun. Strain your lovely elixir into your chilled glass and savor every single drop Gosh, I can hardly wait. I may have to shake one up right now! |
