Saturday happeneings, liquid paradise

I woke up at the early hour of 6 am on Saturday to take Ches The Wonder Dog for a walk. The air smelled like heaven after a long night of rain. As we were walking along, me enjoying the cool sweet air, and Ches, pausing randomly to lift his leg and assert his dominance upon every shrub tree and bush, I couldn’t help but think how totally awesome the day was already starting out to be.

The Little Woman and My Tween were off with their Dad, to spend the weekend. I missed them, but at the same time relished the fact that I could watch Weeds and Pulp Fiction without having to wait until they were fast asleep, or possibly plan to go out with adults and engage in stimulating conversation and drink adult beverages.

Which leads me to this:


Behold the Mango Mojito from the Zia Diner in Santa Fe-

One sip, and I wanted to marry my tasty beverage and bear its children. I wanted to engage in illicit activity with it. IT WAS THAT GOOD.

The mint was perfection, the lime pulp, delicious. The mango puree balanced everything out in such a way that I was tempted to offer the bartender all of my worldly goods.

The Zia also has some incredible items on their menu, like home made potato chips with blue cheese. Holy Moly. Go there avid reader, should the opportunity ever present itself. You will not be disappointed.
