How I Celebrated

So I made some sweet potato fries. Actually, the store called them yams but I think grocery stores always mislabel them. I'm not saying I'm right either, or that it doesn't matter, all that I'm saying is I was hungry and pressed for time. Just some potatoes, cut 'em up, put some seasoning (I put seasoned salt and parsley), and some oil. Bake, then add whatever else (I put more salt, and then some cheese). Yummers.

History

Punchbowl
Some of the back stories of the margarita are interesting. Who is allergic to all alcohol except tequila? What a condition. And how do you figure that out?

Merchandise

There are a lot of T shirts and junk that talk about margaritas. Since I'm not a drinker, I don't know what all the fuss is about. I mean, I really like juice, but you don't see me buying an I love juice shirt.
