Made this delicious dessert for company yesterday, everyone loved it!! Not too sweet, it had a nice tang, I used all strawberries and Grand Marnier with the Tequila, left the sugar off the rim on two and put it on, on two. I only had regular margarita mix, so the night before I put some in the freezer, it froze up nicely. Thanks for sharing a great company dessert, I will use it again!!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
