Beautiful Western NC

Everybody needs to get away from their day-to-day routine every now and then.  This past weekend, I escaped to Asheville for the weekend to spend time with some of my favorite people.  The entire weekend was a refreshing mix of delicious food, beautiful scenery, and many warm memories.  Although I was sad to leave the mountains this morning, I arrived back in the Triangle refreshed and rejuvinated.  ...The weekend had me thinking, when can I go back to the mountains again?

On Saturday, my food guru invited friends over to enjoy the lovely spring evening and drink margaritas.  We used this unusual but delicious recipe!

Beer Margaritas
1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate
12 fluid ounces tequila
12 fluid ounces water
12 fluid ounces beer
ice
1 lime, cut into wedges


Pour limeade, tequila, water, and beer into a large pitcher. Stir until well-blended, and limeade has melted. Add plenty of ice, and garnish with lime wedges. Adjust with additional water, if needed.
