whole fruit margaritas

What to do when it's Monday:

1. Go to work.

2. Drink margaritas.

It wasn't soon after I got the Vitamix blender that I realized how magical the margaritas were. Best I've ever had. Not only do these make you feel goooooood, they give you a healthy dose of vitamin C and fiber. Here's how...

1/4 c. water
6 oz. tequila (6 shots)
2 oz. Triple Sec (2 shots)
1 orange, peeled
1 lime, peeled
1 lemon, peeled
6-7 T. granulated sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
6 c. ice cubes

Put the ingredients in order into the Vitamix and pulverize it for 45 seconds. Serves 6. Yum!

What to say when you're trying to be mature and cultured... Am I old enough yet?

It's a life goal to become a wino, but it's a long and hard battle trying to become one. I'm only a year removed from buying three-buck chuck from Trader Joe's. Now, spending $8-$12 per bottle is a big step in the right direction. Mi amor, Jimmy, discovered an app called Vivino to help us choose the perfect bottle for each occasion. It's easy to use and gives us confidence in our selection.

First, take a picture of the bottle with your smartphone. 

Second, check the specs. 3.5 rating? It'll do... You can also check food pairings and pricing. 

 Third, enjoy! Hope you're thirsty.
