July 16: Tequila

Two facts about me and Tequila: (1) I once drank too much of it in college and awoke in the bed of a girl I had just met that evening. I was alone, however, so don't let your minds wander nor your opinions of me decline; and (2) every time I hear the word I immediately envision Paul Reubens (a.k.a. Pee Wee Herman) inside a biker bar wearing platform shoes dancing atop the tables. Maybe this will help you with that same vision. Anyway, this evening was date night for me and my wife with the kids spending the night at their Grandmother's house. So, we did a little window shopping at The Village of Rochester Hills, and ended up sitting at the bar in Mitchell's Fish Market having some appetizers and a refreshing beverage. I played it safe with a beer, but my wife tried their 100% Organic Tequila Gimlet; shaken, of course, not stirred. This little beauty is a mixture of Tierras Blanco Organic Tequila, fresh organic lime juice and Monin Organic Agave Nectar. Of course, I had to have a sip, and, in doing so, sampled my first tequila gimlet...and organic, nonetheless!
