A snowed in Fiesta

Another foot of snow last night! I'm sure it seems like I'm beating a dead horse with all the snow updates, but statistically; we have already had more snow accumulation than all of last year -as of last week, and for every 2 days in January, it has snowed 1 of those days.... Besides, when the snow piles are the same height as the Jeep, it's to much damn snow in my opinion!

Clearly, all this snow means it's time for a fiesta. Tacos for dinner, fresh homemade guacamole for snacks, and Havana Holiday's for cocktails!

Guacamole in the makes:

Guacamole = yummy! And this is coming from the person who avoids California roles and Cobb salads just to avoid avocados! But after a strong convincing argument to retry avocados, I am in love with them. The one we had ripened perfectly, and melted like butter in my mouth. Plus, I found a FANTASTIC new Guacamole recipe found here. I cut it down as I only had one avocado, and substituted a frozen hot lemon pepper from last year's garden vs. the jalapeno called for. Finally, I found a worthy use for the hot lemon peppers!

The Havana Holiday is another amazing new recipe from something I formerly hated: Gin. The recipe for this wonderful breath of summer amidst banks of snow can be found here. I strongly suggest using the Tanqueray name brand as well.... It does make a difference.
