Drink of the Month - Margaritas

It's May and it's time to break out the blender out for Margaritas. However if you are my other half, he likes his on the rocks. There is just something about this drink that hits the spot. Yummy.

Last month for my sister's birthday, my family and my mom went to dinner at Ruby River. As I was reviewing the drink menu I decided on a blended margarita. It was so good I had have another to just to make sure. My mom even tried a sip just to make sure. Yes, my mom had a sip. Overall I would give my blended Ruby River Margarita 4 out of 5.

So hopefully when the weather gets better, break out your blender, get some chips and salsa and drink some margaritas.

Ahh let the drinking begin...

Several years ago while I was working at a company I will not name at this time, I worked with a fabulous bunch of ladies. I don't remember how the conversation got started but we were talking about playing croquet, wearing fu-fee hats, and drinking fu-fee cocktails. Thus Croquet & Cocktails was born. The first event was held in June 2007 and about 12 ladies showed up. Note to all my friends in the picture, yes I know you hate me now but just get over it.


It was so much fun. The food, the drinks, the croquet. All this and to be true to this event I was hungover at the time as well. As I get more into this blog I will post the recipes for the finger sandwiches and some of the cocktails. For now a few more pictures of the ladies.

WWJD?

Friends, Drinks & Fun

Today I officially start my blog. My dear brother 'A' asked me if I had a blog and now I must deliver. Yes, I am now a blogger. However I will probably not be what my brother expected.

Are you ready?

I will share things, but I do not know how much I will share. This depends on how I feel, the time of day etc, etc.

I warn you all you who read this blog. This may not be suitable for children and may be rated 'R' at times. I may not post pictures and names may be withheld due to my own personal selfish reasons.

This is my blog and I will do what I want.

Wait? What time is it? Ooh it's time for another drink...

Up next...the reason why I named by my blog Croquet & Cocktails.
