Luscious Libation: Tequila Granita

In the summer, tequila becomes a favourite of mine. 

 Combined with rock salt, lime and grapefruit...you have yourself the perfect Saturday sipper.

...Serves 4...

1 cup Grapefruit juice 

2 Limes

1 cup Tequila

1/2 cup Agave Nectar

Pinch of Rock Salt

Add the above into a blender and blend for 30 seconds. Stop and add 3 cups of ice -- purée until smooth.

Pour into glasses and add striped straws for fun!

(Un)Domestic Goddess: Zesty Quinoa Salad

I was in the grocery store, decided to make a quinoa salad, googled "quinoa salad" and literally picked the first result. 

And loved it.

My parents brought back a bunch of spices from Sorrento, Italy and I am getting low on my red chili flakes!

This salad was easy to make and tastes delicious. Give it a try and tell me what you think!

My Issues

At work, we have a tracking program which monitors our reference requests. On the sidebar, there's a link labelled, "My Issues". 

Because, let's face it, I have lots of them.

~I consciously try to say "yes" instead of "yeah", especially at work. When I forget, I cringe.

~green vegetables. I have issues with most of them.

~people who text while walking -- but wait! there's more! -- and while pushing a baby carriage!

~shutting off/relaxing/achieving zen or whatever we're calling it this week

~not cutting myself while cooking
~daydreaming. I'm always doing it.

Tuesday Trio: Patio Dresses

 I have no idea who coined the phrase "patio dress", but I love sitting on patios and I love wearing dresses so  I'll use it for this post. 

The Victoria Day long weekend has come and gone and I feel like summer is just around the corner. As usual, I'll be frequenting lots of patios. Here are some dresses I think will be perfect to wear while sipping chardonnay:
