It's Monday. It's the first week of school. Who wants a drink?
The fact that this is becoming "What's Kristin drinking this week?" instead of "A blog of food & thought" is not lost on me.
I'm one of those who will drink half a beer zealously and then either: drink the last half grudgingly, give it to my husband, or dump it out. (Why yes, I have been accused of 'watering the grass' before. Why do you ask?)
I made this a month or so ago and shared it with my husband. He liked it too.
Actually, he was reading some fishing report online (He reads fishing blogs. Can you think of something more un-blog-worthy?? Fishing??). As he sipped away, I stood 7 inches away and said, "Do you like it? Do you like it? Doyoulikeit?", as I progressively got closer and closer to his face.
He said, "Mmmhmm", and kept reading those fishing reports.
I'm not sure if that means it's good or not.
I liked it anyway.
Beer and Lime Margarita

Juice of 1/2 a fresh lime
