Rate the Hate | Weekend of Love Edition
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:
- One can of black beans
- One package of white corn (frozen or canned; you decide)
- Onions (green or other; whatever and as much as you like)
- Cilantro (a handful or more; personally I love cilantro and would add a whole bunch)
- One can of Rotel
- Juice of half a lime
- 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!!!

Heya mama… just wanted to let you know that you’ve been awarded over at my blog!
((I just saw! So flattered. So honored.))
Oooh! That salsa sounds fabulous. Hubby and I love black bean salsa…I’ve gotta try it :)
Good thing I just ate or I’d be on my way to the store to get the ingredients for all that yummy stuff! Instead I’ll just have another…. :beer:

crap, now I am hungry.
I am jealous of the margaritas. I am in desperate need of one or five right now!

Ok, I am salivating now. Anything with a spanish/mexican flair and I melt like butter… yummo!
Happily sitting here eating 94% fat free popcorn so I don’t go in and jealousy eat something after that.
The salad sounds good. And even before Weight Watchers I loved salads!
I want to marry black beans AND salsa.
So, thanks for sharing your black bean salsa recipe.
SLICKED chicken, eh? ;o)
P: That’s how I roll.
hehehe
