Corona Beer, the worst beer in America or anywhere else… NOTHING!

Really Bob?!?!?!? You taking the Buds, Coors, Shlitz, PBRs and other crap out of the running to make this announcement?

Well of course, those are all crap, too. Maybe I should say crappiest imported beer. Again, who really cares about the difference between a 52 point wine and a 51 point wine? Both get tossed.

Mark:
the link to Wikipedia clearly states that Cinco de Mayo is not a real holiday. Read it more closely. it is a small regional holiday celebrated by one small place. it was turned into a big deal by Corona beer and others. Most Mexicans have never heard of it, in fact, until they come to the US. it would be similar to Sam Adams beer taking Patriots day and marketing that in Europe as a big American holiday, when it is in fact, not. Only a regional holiday.

Me? Carne asada tacos and beans. Marinated a skirt steak last night and started the beans soaking. Making guacamole and pico de gallo before I grill the steak. YUM!

Why is it impossible to buy corn tortillas in packages of a dozen anymore? All I could get was a package of thirty. HTF am I supposed to eat thirty tacos?

They sell them here in packs of 12. About 20 different brands. I prefer the flour ones and WISH I could get them in packs of 30.

@Kara VanCorbach

You don’t know how many times I have yelled this at my local grocery store… even the local tortilla makers are making packages of a million. If I only had a duck… I could feed the duck all of the extra tortillas.

I’m making margies for dinner. The end.

I love that idea. A duck is perfect.

Margarita with Cointreau and Tres Generaciones Anejo followed by a USDA Prime Rib Eye and baked tater with a bottle of 2007 Justin Vineyards Paso Robles Syrah.

Tequila and wine??

On the patio with my friend Norm as his wife had the kids…

carribbean inspired dry rubbed chicken on the grill. Sliced thinly and put into large flour tortillas with fresh avocado, sour cream, a 5 cheese blend, a squeeze of lime juice and heirloom tomatoes.

Chips and Arriba! salsa.

To drink we made margaritas on the rocks. Using the Krueger recipe of 1 part fresh lime juice, 1 part Cointreau and 2 parts Patron Anejo tequila. No salt for me.

Perfect.

I’m still doing 1/3 lime juice, 1/3 Cointreau, and 1/3 Cuervo Tradicional, but I think I might tweak the recipe a bit.

I’d recommend 2 parts Tequila, 1 part Cointreau and between 1-2 parts lime juice, depending on your taste, a hair over 1 part. I sweeten the lime juice with agave sweetener to taste. That step is crucial. For the tequila I prefer silver or reposado, anejo has too much oak / wrong profile. My favorite moderately priced widely available tequila for margaritas is Heradura Reposado, usually can be had for ~$32.
