Did you know today is National Tequila Day? I did, it’s marked on my calendar actually. I probably should call out of work and pour myself a nice glass of Don Julio on the rocks and get wastey pants. But unfortunately, today is Wednesday and I have to go to work. I can’t sit at home and drink tequila by myself as much as I’d like to. Instead, I’m going to spend all day today dreaming about this stupid delicious watermelon basil margarita. STUPID delicious.
Once I get home from work, I’ll be sure to invite a few friends over and enjoy some margaritas and this delicious and healthy tex mex salad from Anna of Belly of the Feast. The perfect way to end National Tequila Day.
