I was perusing Darius T. Williams cooking blog here yesterday. He takes pictures during the cooking process and once his creations are plated to show the end result. I thought that was fun, so after I made dinner last night I took pictures.
My sister-in-law and brother were in town from NC, so my sister came over to have girls night with me. Botanas are a family favorite and my sister is allergic to wheat, gluten, flour, etc. so while planning our dinner I decided homemade Spicy Shrimp Botana and Mango Margaritas were the way to go. We diced, we chopped, we blended, we melted and the end result - a beautiful, bountiful, botana:
We also made some fresh salsa:
And some fabulous Mango Margaritas:
You'll notice my sister's was half gone before I could get the camera out!
We ended up drinking almost a 5th of Tequila in 2 pitchers of Margaritas... it might explain my resistance to getting up for work this morning.. lol.
Margarita anyone?

Wow, I just got through a dry burger and cold fries from one of the chain restaurants here and looking at your pictures, boy do I know I made the wrong choice. Next time you will have to save a plate for me.
Don't be giving me the side eye, young lady. LOL. So you too have stumbled upon the wonderful cooking blog of Mr. D.T. Williams.
People who cook, make me sick. LOL
Slish: you know you can't be skipping meals. We're in a recession, you need to bulk up for the long winter :)
Curious: Dry burger and cold fries - eeew, lol. A plate will definitely be saved for you.
OneMan: People who cook are the bestest, especially when they are willing to share with those who cannot ;)

Hey there!!
I have never tasted a Mango Margarita!!
I do not drink. Is there a virgin Margarita recipe?
(smiles)

Hey Lisa -
Sure the virgin recipie is:
In the blender:
1/2 bag of frozen mango
and enough Jumex mango nectar to make it blend well.
You can dip your margarita glasses in a little simple syrup or in some of the mango nectar then into sugar or salt to rim the glass.
For non-virgin, same recipe just add Tequila to taste!
