Patricia Martin Steward - 04 Aug 2009 00:15 GMT First spinach salad with grape tomatoes and half an avocado, cucumber ranch dressing. Sometimes I add chopped red bell pepper to this, too.
Cut up a zucchini and stirfried it to make "noodles," sauteed some chicken stir-fry bits, then over the lot of it poured a sauce made from cheese, half and half, and chipotle Tabasco sauce.
YUM!

Margarita for apéritif. Crookneck from garden, sautéd with butter, shallots, and parsley. Salad from garden, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce. 10 chocolate almonds, and 5 oz. of stout beer for desert.
Oh, j'ai faim ;O) Lemon and mint in water for beverage.

I *swear* I saw sugar-free liquid margarita base in one of my local supermarkets, but now I can't find it. So I Dogpiled (I don't like Google, and Dogpile includes it anyway) and found a sugar-free recipe that's actually quite easy.

Just basic recipe: juice from one lime (don't roll your eyes now, but I make mine in a blender, so I throw the whole lousy, peeled lime in), 1/4 cup tequila, and 1/4 cup triple sec (Bols). I guess I could use orange peel and stevia to replace the triple sec. For now it is one of my guilty pleasures;O)
Wha'chew got?

3 oz. tequila 4 tbl. lime juice (about a whole lime, close enough) 1/2 c. water 2 tbl. Splenda (more or less according to taste) 1/2 tsp orange extract
I like the idea of using the whole lime not having to wash the blender every time I make a marguerita! I just mix this up right in the glass and add some rocks.
Everyone at work is going ga-ga over the recipe that includes a Corona, but it also includes an entire can of frozen limeade, and that would just push my blood sugar through the ROOF. Not to mention the terrible cravings I get if I eat sugar.

Washing the blender is no big deal. Everything I use is water soluble, so a couple of rinses, and I let it drip dry.
A beer in the margarita? Guess I'm just a traditionalist.
Dinner tonight is cubed ham with dried fruit in chicken stock, over brown rice, w/ salad, and fresh fruit.
