Margaritas!

    One of the perks of my many years of good, clean living™, is the massive, near-endless amount of knowledge I picked up in my misspent days, weeks, months and years.  Perhaps the most important pearl of wisdom is that the best margaritas are not the result of arcane measurements or some such silly nonsense where things like spoons, cups and math are involved. In fact, I think you'll find that just dumping crap into a blender, tossing in some ice, and hitting the Go button is pretty much all you need. 

    Anyway, what you see here is the finely-honed result of years and years of trial and error, and, since blender-drink season is upon us, and for those of you keen on the science of it all, here is how my recipe works.

    First, toss in several thunks of fresh strawberries and grind until they stop screaming. 

    Then, add three or four glugs and a splash of tequilla, followed by two or three glugs of triple sec and two glugs of lime juice (all units should have an "ish" on the end as well). 

    Finally, with two hands, add four crashes of ice and blend until it's a margarita. 

    Drink.  And repeat as necessary until you pass out and wake up with a mouth full of floor.

    Apparently, this works out very well.  Of course, you'd have to ask Emily, though, since she's the one who's been drinking them with "no" help from me.
