cocktail anyone?

Since Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, I thought I'd kick it off with a much deserved cocktail. One that I hadn't had since I found out I was pregnant—the coveted margarita.

Friday, Josh, Gideon and I went to our favorite local mexican eatery—the one were all the staff actually speak better Spanish than English. We hadn't been there since before Gideon was born and I was super excited to have chips, salsa, and a margie. Which I did. And it was good. So good in fact that when I got home and Gideon was asleep I made myself another.

On Saturday we had a little impromptu bbq at our house with Josh's family. Once Gideon went down for his nap I made myself margarita. Now, let me tell you, my margaritas are much stronger than the ones at the restaurant. They are served in a salt rimmed rocks glass with chipped ice and only consist of three things tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. And the ratio of alcohol to lime juice is 2:1. So good. So good in fact that I ended up having two more that day (and one yesterday). Not a big deal as long as our prepared for feedings.

We are going to my Mom's today for a cookout. I won't be having any margaritas but I did see a big bottle of Chardonnay in her fridge yesterday. Cocktail anyone?
