When you said that you mean to expand Tungsten Hippo recommendations to collections, what do you mean? Collections of short stories?

It was pu...Hey, I can give you my margarita recipe! It was published in our local newspaper as the winner of a contest to emulate the a popular restaurant's version ("The Rio Grande" in Fort Collins, CO). It consists of equal parts of these 4 ingredients (although we often add a 5th part of water, because they're pretty strong):<br />1. gold tequila <br />2. triple sec<br />3. "Island House" Lime juice (This may be the hardest to find. It comes in a clear plastic bottle with a white label with black printing. It's sweet, like a limey simple syrup, but I suspect the "Roses" brand would be too thick and too sweet).<br />4. apple juice* (I have sometimes subbed apple cider, which is also good).<br />Your choice whether to serve straight-up or on the rocks, salted rim or not.<br />*"The Rio" claims they do NOT include apple juice in their margaritas -- whether that's true or not, I don't care; these taste fantastic!MargieKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04025408160031366754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-29287155761900129662014-01-03T04:57:47.660-08:002014-01-03T04:57:47.660-08:00Congrats on doing so well with last year's lis...Congrats on doing so well with last year's list, and your list this year looks great! I make a list of goals each year. Here's my recap for 2013 and my new list for 2014: http://mrscomethunter.blogspot.ca/2014/01/goals-recap.htmlAlyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722440908147410632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-26102909451718139242014-01-03T02:22:47.311-08:002014-01-03T02:22:47.311-08:00I do love the idea of a fun list - it focuses the ...I do love the idea of a fun list - it focuses the mind on the good stuff! And how to achieve it :-)<br /><br />With regard to the new pie recipe - surely the filling would have to be lamb & mint? Although Egg & Bacon, Venison & Red wine or Pepper Steak all qualify as solid Kiwi classic pie flavours too. I personally think of the version of Egg & Bacon where the eggs are just laid on top of the bacon and baked as particularly Kiwi as opposed to the "Australian" version where the egg is mixed with milk & cheese like a quiche. However, this is probably just a quirk between my Australian mother & Kiwi mother in laws methods of cooking of bacon & egg pie and not representative of a larger cultural difference. <br /><br />I have to admit, I can't imagine actually going to the bother of actually making my own pies - I'm perfectly happy to splurge occasionally on the very delicious pies made by "Who ate all the pies" in Dunedin. (http://www.whoateallthepies.co.nz/menu.php) They are a bit fancy but pretty damn tasty. However, if you're looking for recipes - taste.com.au is a pretty good resource. Or for Bacon & Egg pie this recipe by Annabel Langbein sounds pretty good - http://www.annabel-langbein.com/recipes/bacon--egg-pie/278 It has potato in it, which strikes me as a bit unusual but probably gives it a pretty good texture.

We have yet to redeem the lessons.<br /><br />Perhaps you can come up to South Redondo Beach's Riviera Village for a grown up weekend away and we can split the lesson?badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.com
