Ok, despite the weird and unsatisfying chain of events that befell me yesterday, I’ve had a pretty good weekend so far. Last night, I made, not one, but FIVE perfect lime Margaritas on the Rocks. I had decided earlier in the day that I would not couple the drinking with eating, and I’m glad I came to that decision. Had I eaten with the ‘ritas, I would surely have puked my guts up.

This morning I was a little slow, but I was ok. After Davey’s nap we headed out to pick up the boys from their sleepover, and then we were off to Mo’s for dinner, drinks, and coffee. Here’s what we had:

Kids:

• Chicken Tacos (I brought the chicken, from home, grilled to perfection on the Georgie!)
• Apple Slices
• Fudge Brownies for dessert

The Mamas:

• Chicken Salad (and not just any ordinary salad: romaine lettuce, sliced chicken, black bean salsa, guacamole, sour cream, broken up tortilla chips, and a lovely cilantro salad dressing)
• Piña Colada
• Coffee From Heaven and Fudge Brownies for dessert

There’s nothing better than getting together with a friend you love, than getting together with a friend you love, and eating a perfect meal that you both worked on to yield a masterpiece! This salad would have cost $12-15 at a restaurant, no lie!

Recipe for the Black Bean Salsa:

1. One can of black beans
2. One package of white corn (frozen or canned; you decide)
3. Onions (green or other; whatever and as much as you like)
4. Cilantro (a handful or more; personally I love cilantro and would add a whole bunch)
5. One can of Rotel
6. Juice of half a lime
7. Dash of Cumin (or two?)

Mix, and eat with your choice of tortilla chips. I choose Mission chips because they are the. best. ever. My belly’s still full and all I can do is dream about eating more of this salsa. We’re gonna be riding the “poot train” tomorrow, ya’ll.

Speaking of tomorrow: The kids have a full menu planned for some bloggy fun. I’m going to watch over them, but not interfere, as they prepare some food for a stellar inter-blog Iron Chef Challenge. This should be interesting. Iron Chef MOB vs. Iron Chef Fury!!! Stay Tuned!

Go see my hottie-bomblottie-girlfriend, Mr. Lady, get on the Mr. Linky list, and tell us what you’ve consumed this fine weekend!!!
