When I collected the last annotated bibliography and fled campus this afternoon, I felt extremely entitled to a moment of supreme relaxation. I got home, put on the pjs, and grabbed my laptop. The plan was to take a nap after nosing around the interwebs a bit, but when I got settled in with the laptop I realized I wanted a glass of water.
However... when I approached the refrigerator, what jumped out was this...
Good thing I know that a traditional margarita is made with a 3:2:1 ratio of tequila:triple sec or cointreau:lime juice. The unit I used was the good ol' tablespoon or the equivalent of half an ounce.
In the interest of full disclosure, I should admit that one of these happened too.
But look at it! It's hideous! See that hole in it?! I couldn't possibly serve that to aaaaanyone. So... it had to be done.
Ugh... Maybe it's because I even teach in my sleep these days, but I swear I can see you blogensteins raising your hands. Let me do my best to head you off at the pass.
No, you didn't miss my explanation of the mystery sweet above. And yes, when I'm good and ready, I'll tell you exactly what that sweet is, how you can make it, and what percentage of your grade will be docked if you make it but turn it in late.
Um... sorry... I think I'm going to take that nap now.

I wondered when you blogged the margarita cupcakes if you were going to partake of some liquid margaritas. And now I know.
Was your 3:2:1 ratio better than Ashley's tequlia flavored sour patch kid tonic? Because that was pretty epic. - B
Is there going to be an opportunity for extra credit?
Its official, you're in charge of drinks this weekend. See what you get for sharing your alcohol mixing abilities.
Only for you, Kate. Don't mention this to the others. ; )
Evan: Leftovers make the world go 'round.
B & cookingnerd: It wasn't bad, but honestly... I enjoyed the Sour Patch Kid! Deliciousness without getting my teeth gummed up with the candy part.
I like that you had a drink. But I hate how accurately your commentary above nails what students are like.
