Rose Margarita
"DH and I made these margaritas last night, which I found in the April 2009 edition of Bon Appetit. They are credited to the bistro, Stack, inside The Mirage in Los Vegas. I thought these were really good. I liked how they were not overly sweet. Using a good tequila is important. I used Don Julio in my first one (that DH brought back from Mexico several years ago) and when it ran out, I tried it with Hornitos Plata. I could definitely tell the difference (the Don Julio being smoother), but both were nice. DH suggested using a Reposado. Enjoy."

I was not able to taste the rose water in it. Probably it's not enough. I'll have to try it again with more rose water and probably less lime juice. It was very tart. Thanks Dr. Jenny :) Made for When it's hot event

I work full-time as a School Psychologist in Michigan. Besides the kids, one of the best aspects of the job is summer vacation, when I can concentrate on doing more of the things that I like to do---like look up recipes and play games on Recipezaar!!!
I married my wonderful and handsome husband, Sean, in August 2007. He is becoming a wonderful gardender and tends to both our veggie and herb gardens. We really enjoy cooking with our own fresh ingredients. We most often cook together, so my reviews typically reflect our joint opinions. He's the better cook, so I pick up a lot of my techniques from him.
My other interests include reading (now that I have time), Irish dancing (I've taken a class for the last several years), "appreciating" wine (I use the term very loosely), and listening to and going to see Irish bands (I love the Pogues).
I also enjoy travelling, especially around Western Europe, where I have been multiple times. One of my favorite places is Italy, and Sean and I had a great time on our honeymoon eating, drinking, and sightseeing in the Cinque Terre and in Tuscany. This July 2009, we expanded our horizons to Eastern Europe and visited the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Croatia. Two of my favorite dishes on the trip were Croatian: fish brodet and Hvarska gregada. I am looking forward to trying my hand at making them at home as I see that someone on Zaar, who is Croatian, posted recipes for both!
Besides my husband, the other lights of my life are my cats: Chloe, Pip, and my newest ragdoll cat, Giselle, all of whom I absolutely adore.
