Something Truly Missed.

As the days have been getting warmer, and the sun actually shines during the day more than 1/2 a second, the longing for some patio dining, chips & salsa, and chispa margaritas grows apparent.

It all sums down to we are seriously considering franchising El Mirasol over yonder. Do we have any investors interested?

Rehearsal Dinner @ El Mirasol 2009

For those not from San Antonio, please hop in your car right now, and go, seriously go, you are missing out!

To tame our cravings, we found ourselves with a bottle of tequila in our fridge beckoning to be used over the weekend. Last Saturday night, when most of the base was at the Combat Dining Out, B we opted to be anti-social and stay home to enjoy what turned into a Mexican fiesta. Ole!

On the menu:
Butternut Squash, Ground Turkey Enchiladas with a Cinnamon Spiced Crema (You can find the recipe here, but of course being one who doesn't really follow direction recipes well, many substitutes were made.) If you truly are interested I can email you my version of the recipe.

Homemade Mexican Rice (Lala's recipe)

Homemade Salda & Avocado on the side

...and from a various concoction of different recipes browsed upon, we made ourselves some satisfying homemade not-so chispa margaritas.

For all those others who are stranded live on a not so urbanized island with no El Mirasols around, our margarita recipe is as follows:

1/2 cup silver tequila
1/4 cup orange liquor
1/4 cup water
1/4 margarita mix
1/6 cup fresh squeezed lime

Stir altogether, and pour into two 8 ounce glasses filled with ice and ENJOY!
