What's for dinner?
First spinach salad with grape tomatoes and half an avocado, cucumber
ranch dressing. Sometimes I add chopped red bell pepper to this, too. Cut up a zucchini and stirfried it to make "noodles," sauteed some chicken stir-fry bits, then over the lot of it poured a sauce made from cheese, half and half, and chipotle Tabasco sauce. YUM! -- "Palin lied when she told Charlie Gibson that she does not pass judgment on gay people; in fact, she opposes all rights between gay spouses and belongs to a church that promotes conversion therapy."

Just basic recipe: juice from one lime (don't roll your eyes now, but I make mine in a blender, so I throw the whole lousy, peeled lime in), 1/4 cup tequila, and 1/4 cup triple sec (Bols). I guess I could use orange peel and stevia to replace the triple sec.

Forgot to mention the nearly entire tray of ice cubes that I dump into the blender as well. I usually have a couple of cubes left over.

My recipe includes orange extract and Splenda instead: 3 oz. tequila 4 tbl. lime juice (about a whole lime, close enough) 1/2 c. water 2 tbl. Splenda (more or less according to taste) 1/2 tsp orange extract I like the idea of using the whole lime not having to wash the blender every time I make a marguerita! I just mix this up right in the glass and add some rocks. Everyone at work is going ga-ga over the recipe that includes a Corona, but it also includes an entire can of frozen limeade, and that would just push my blood sugar through the ROOF. Not to mention the terrible cravings I get if I eat sugar. -- "Palin lied when she told Charlie Gibson that she does not pass judgment on gay people; in fact, she opposes all rights between gay spouses and belongs to a church that promotes conversion therapy."

A beer in the margarita? Guess I'm just a traditionalist. Dinner tonight is cubed ham with dried fruit in chicken stock, over brown rice, w/ salad, and fresh fruit. -- Racial injustice, war, urban blight, and environmental rape have a common denominator in our exploitative economic system. ~Channing E.
