Sorry, I had posted about the crash on Karen's surgery recovery thread. I had my 4 yr old DGS on my lap going down the zip line at my brother's place and the piece holding the tension on the line broke. We hit the ground pretty hard. Fortunately, I got the worst of it, but Cody's head hit the underside of my jaw and knocked my jaw slightly out of alignment. He had a headache, but seemed fine otherwise. My chin/jaw turned a lovely shade of purple, only outdone by the backs of my knees, where the seat hit them...purple/black/blue!! My dentist told me the jaw would move back when the swelling went down and it has, I can bite together on both side now. I also slid on my right shoulder and hit the back of my head on the ground, so I was majorly sore for a couple of days!! But Cody was still on my lap when we stopped...instinct kept me hanging on to him! I had some bruises on my arms, shoulder, legs, and jaw, so...... I think I'm done with the zip line, LOL. So thanks for asking, but I'm doing fine now. TTFN, Candy

And if you're not a Mom, I sent my wishes on to your family for a happy day nonetheless. Yes, I came down from the ladder - DH took me to Forbidden Kingdom yesterday. Relaxing. Today I paint the living room ceiling, finish the white base coat on my last wall (this is taking forever moving furniture around) and Monday start the colour. Going to take a piece of the fabric I'm making the curtains with to the paint store to match the wall paint tone - heck I've come this far might as well get the colour right. Stopped in at the Lazyboy store yesterday - we ordered a new couch (recliners on either end) and a new oversized giant recliner for Dave (6'3"). It has a great feature of extended leg rest you can push out with your foot so your feet don't over hang. These are do in a couple of weeks which hopefully works out for all of my old furniture around here that is spoken for and due to leave about the same time - otherwise the stuff can get introduced to the back garden shed. No love lost there! Finally getting our first living room furniture that's not hand-me-down. Only took 15 years but that's okay. At least it's cash and not on credit. Wonderful to see everyone is enjoying their families this weekend! Today is clean the fridge day, grocery shopping later. So I am thinking of what can I get myself for this week. Need to also start digging in the freezer to see what we have in there for meal planning. I keep forgetting. With food prices rising, I'm getting more and more fussy on portion sizes (less waste), quality and buying what we really eat and not stuff we might eat. I don't know how folk manage raising families these days. So expensive. Also have to think of packing lunches this week since I start my seasonal job of planting business/hotel garden beds. Need to pack lots of water. If ya hear me moaning next weekend about muscles I forgot I own this will be the reason behind it...I should dig out my bubble bath stuff too for this week! Enjoy your day today. Think ahead. I see apples in the fridge that need cooking (mmmmmmm), carrots and sugar free jello for later this week. Good week to get my single serving containers out to make my treats. Gotta get working on a new mini weight goal! Cheers, Peggy

Happy Cinco de Mayo - Margarita Recipes?
Q
Comments (11)
A friend of mine told me her top secret margarita recipe, and its very similar to the one gardengrl posted above, the only difference is that these had no Sprite. 12 oz can frozen limeade 12 oz bottle Corona beer 12 oz Tequila I had never heard adding beer to a margarita, but I vaguely remember that they were some of the best I've ever had. The above recipes calling for fresh-squeezed lime juice and zest, sugar, and tequila remind me of my new favorite drink, the Caipirinha, which is lime juice, sugar and brazilian sugar cane rum (Cachaca)

So true! I top my "Back-East chili " with cottage cheese, and it totally grosses out my family (lol). I try not to judge other takes on guacamole or anything, but I guess that it's just what tastes best/normal to an individual. What you're used to . . . although I really don't mess with my friend's recipes. After 33 years of eating them at her house and making them myself, they are delicious and the norm for me now. And, truth be told, I am an Anglo out here and my NM food is always scrutinized by my Hispanic friends who dislike "Gringo-ized" NM food. Because of that, I've always tried to stick with the original recipes that they've shared with me. But, we do travel a lot and always are OK with eating at Mexican restaurants around the country. Huge difference in just about everything, but we enjoy it. We'll be heading to Atlanta and Augusta, GA, and Aiken, SC soon and both my sis and our son have Mexican restaurants they plan on taking us to in every town. We'll enjoy them all, I'm sure. Spanish: ok, I'll try that the next time I make it. I'm not a food snob. I guess that I'm just very used to the way I always make things after all this time out here.

What time is dinner? Lol. I wish he hubby liked Mexican food. I think he just doesn't know what to order. I might take him sometime and just order for him. He didn't even know what a burrito was. Poor thing. Have a great day. We had some rain this morning.

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

In honor of Kylie I cooked this hybrid on the half shell. Nice and spicy. Would have been good with a margarita.

She lurks but doesn't post much, lol. Yes those are hybrid striped bass. Remind me when we get together and I will give you some fish. I know she is waiting on me to call her to help me plant my new bed but I am at home in the bed feeling like I'm gonna barf. Some kind of stomache bug I guess. It would have been a perfect day to work in the yard too. I just took some more drugs so hopefully I will be able to get up soon. The crappy part is I can't even sleep. Been up since 3am just laying here looking up plants on the internet I can put in my water garden. The stupid little shelves molded in to the edges don't look deep enough for anything. I will have to look at it again. Maybe I can find a pot that size and just put something there that just needs the bottom of the pot in water but that will look ugly unless I can plant something taller to hide the pot next to it in the deeper part. Uggg. Why do I have to contemplate everything so much before I do it. I still do end up having to move and redo stuff anyway, lol.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!
