Thursday......5/5

[RICHARD]

Acutally it's the 53rd Thursday but today is the Fifth of May...Cinco de Mayo....

It's a little tribute to the Mexican army for defeating the French Army in the Battle of Puebla..

So much for history...

It's Margarita Time!!

I'm super busy today, so if someone would be so kind as to assist me in pouring drinks today, I would be more than happy to divulge the secrets to making slushies!!

I can sure use my slushie fix today! Want me to give you a hand? My hand is good, my knee isn't. lol

* waves hand frantically * memememememe. Just saw a bartender make an "authentic" margarita on the news this morning with lime juice etc instead of sour mix or pre-made margarita "mix". I'll help... gladly. Gee Richard, we haven't been lining up at the door this week have we

Wow, the Margarita sounds so good. I'll have one of those.

Hey, how is everyone? David, I'm hoping that knee will be better after you get those next two shots. We can hope!

Laurie, are you doing okay today?

[davidpizzica]

I'm hoping they will!! Meanwhile, a slushie will go good right now.

Woo hoo! This is one of my favorite drinks! Love lots of salt around the rim. I've never had a fresh margarita before. If it tastes any better, I won't be able to stand it. I've got a bunch of Mardi Gras beads that I can start handing out(for real, they're in my closet) Got them off Ebay with the intent of selling them and there they sit. So we might as well get some enjoyment out of them. Let's get this party started!
Meant to ask if an all over slushi is similar to a massage?

Some people are so used to the Margarita Mix kind they think the authentic ones are too sour. I like to add a spash of cointreau or triple sec with the lime juice to take a wee bit of the pucker out After I make this next pitcher I want to head out to the kitchen and start some Chicken Mole and some Chili Rellenos. Wanna help Willie? Hey, where has amoore been hiding? I miss Pandy. Stay off your knee David, Mario will bring your drink over for you (after tasting it to make sure it's OK of course )

Just a read slushie thingy for me along with some nachos!!! Oh, and 4 catnip teas on the rocks for the cats. It's in the 80s here! Life is GOOD!!!

[davidpizzica]

Thank you Mario! Do I tip you?

[QueenScoopalot]

I already got started before hubby left for work. He went to Mexico for his mom's funeral of sorts in January and a neice of his smuggled back some booze (tequila of sorts) made with peyote cactus. I can't spell it, and neither can mensa hubby, but it sounds like rye-see-ya. With a mixer it makes for one heck of a buzz. I think Marios here.....he wants to grope that cat that's up for adoption...the odd looking one that the neighbors wife is scared of. Song in my head...ya put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up..TGIT! OOps..TGIW! Jan

[Miss Meow]

Laurie, that recipe sounds so good I'll take two!

Oh, and a bottle of orange curacao for the road (now that I have you dirty little secret! )
