Margaritas & More

19 years ago

My DH invited three of his co-workers over on Wednesday for Margaritas. He wants to serve some mexican appetizers with the drinks. I was thinking of some type of bean dip and maybe some nachos? Any ideas or recipes you can share? Thanks

I would forget the bottled dressing and sub a drizzle of olive oil and the juice of 1/2 a lime....and add a finely chopped jalapeno...or 2 if you like it hot....but that's my recipe! LOL!

Bean dip....easy and non traditional.
I can of refried beans, I like La Preferida and not the vegitarian, mix with a cup of sour cream place in a bowl and top with chopped green onions...serve with a bottle of salsa verde on the side.
Eazy-peazy hot dip...
One can hormel chili without beans
1 8oz package of cream cheese
1 pound velveeta
1 can rotel...
Microwave until melted stopping every few seconds to stir.
Serve with corn chips
That is my grandson's recipe!

I know this is late...but we are hooked on these here. I got these off the net...and yes...was a bit leary of the Corona beer....but they are really good! And very very easy to throw together. 1 can frozen limeade, thawed 1 can tequila (1800 is used here) 1 can or 12 oz of Slice or Sierra Mist, or 7up 1 bottle Corona beer Stir together and refrigerate. I like to freeze mine and scoop out and drink as a slushy. When I have the $$, I really like to squeeze limes (and usually a lemon or two) and then make the drink 50-50...1/2 lime juice and 1/2 tequila. No sugar. If I am making them this way and having company, I will make a sugar syrup and add a good dose of syrup to the glass. I have made grapefruit ones before too...not bad...cheaper than the limes! Watermelon ones are very good also! Especially if you are one that likes to salt their watermelon when you eat it.

You TEASE! Too early for drinks, so sorry I'm late with this Erm...? What was the question? Backsplash? You leave the top off? Um... Right. Terracotta (which I'm thinking you've already abandoned) is going to make a triangle of color with the lower cabinets and look funky. I think the Winchester looks nice with your colors but it's going to trend a little twee as well as commercial, I fear, in a checkerboard. A single color, like shale maybe, would look both more sophisticated and more traditional. The mottled white looks like it picks up the tones of your gray paint. If they look terrific together that's a good option. I don't like the stoneware at all for that position. It's way too heavy. I love the small sparkly blues, but don't they fight with your grays? I guess this is a qualified vote for the white, with a write in for a single tone of the Winchester if the sample comes in and it's just the right shade.

Definitely not deer since I live in the suburb and is surrounded by neighbours on all three sides. I just came back from my garden and Othello just drooped down. It looks like they like Austins so far. At this pace, I won't be seeing any rose blooming this year. They just eat a bit of the new shoots but snapped the canes, well tender at this stage of growth. I need to find a way to discourage them.

While we're at it, what other Austins would you recommend? I ordered Lady of Shallot because you mentioned it had done well for you. Ones that have done well for me are Pat Austin, Wollerton Old Hall, Darcy Bussell, The Shepherdess, Heritage, Huntington rose (did amazing in a pot on Dr.H, just got it on Fortuniana) Evelyn and Tamora (Evelyn is my favorite) I have others but its too soon to tell (Gentle Hermione, Scepter D'isle, Jubilee Celebration, Boscobal (this one has done well in a pot on Dr.H) Geoff Hamilton (has not bloomed once in the year I've had it) Queen of Sweden (dismal, barely blooms for me, as much as I love it) Jude the Obscure (one cane wonder, i SO wish it would do well) Christopher Marlow and Carding Mill (both tiny still)
