Don Julio bottle (from "Don Julio Farm to Shaker Event," hispanichouston.com)

In the “better late than never” category (of which you’re going to be seeing a lot this week) I was invited to a really great event by the nice people at Don Julio. As you may know, I’ve previously posted about this tequila; I’m already a fan. The Farm to Shaker event featured several courses […]

Three reasons to get the Keurig KOLD

January 17, 2016 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

My Keurig K-Cup Coffee Maker is one of my favorite appliances (among many others I saw on unclutterer.com). In fact, I’d say it’s one of my favorite things altogether (though many would say that it’s because it gives me my beloved coffee). I love that I can make a cup of coffee or tea in […]

Celebrate National Margarita Day on Sunday, February 22, 2015

Today is National Tequila Day.

Celebrate National Margarita Day!

February 20, 2014 by Sandra Fernandez 2 Comments

I am told that National Margarita Day falls on February 22nd, which is (coincidentally) a Saturday. That means that all of you who want to go out and celebrate can do so without having to worry about the day-after hangover. That’s very important. Margaritas used to be my standard drink order; I became an expert […]
