I enjoy a hamburger without a bun. Not that I don’t LOVE bread because I do and eat it practically daily, but a doughy bun does nothing for me! I also LOVE fries, but don’t always need to have along side a hamburger; for example, in this case I was craving pasta and salad. Many of you always ask though it is OK to eat beef to begin with?

Keri’s Bar: Classic Margarita
One crazy thing, among others, that has happened during this pandemic is my need to make a cocktail other than a martini! Shocker, I know! BUT, my first try with making one was NOT a success! Thanks to my neighbor for the advice, “it’s all about the fresh lime”, I decided to try another on-line recipe and discovered this one from the NY Times. Success!
Ingredients:
2 ounces blanco tequila
Juice of 1 whole lime
½ ounce triple sec, preferably Cointreau
Salt for rim (optional)
Lime wedge, for garnish
Directions:
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add tequila, lime juice and triple sec. Shake. Pour, with the ice, into a highball or footed glass (salt rim first if you like). Garnish with wedge of lime.
P.S. Of course there are many “fancier” margaritas out there – but hey, just like I like a classic martini, I prefer a classic margarita!
