When you’ve grown up in Texas, experiencing Cinco de Mayo in the Seattle is, how shall I say, anti-climactic.
It’s hard enough to find a tongue-numbing hot sauce, let alone a respectable margarita in the Pacific Northwest. Some hard-core types may shudder, but I even miss those swirl frozen margs, especially the swirl [...]
You’ll be glad to know the Let the Dog in! family dashed to the beach this past weekend, and we got the pictures to prove it! And we had the “that’s boring!” grumblings of a 6 year old ahead of time, but that’s beside the point.
