We all know what the Four seasons are…read more..
(Meanwhile, us California's are all googling what seasons the other 49 states actually get)...
You know:
Spring, Summer, Fall (Autumn) and Winter
And I can almost bet you, that every last one of you, if I asked, would have your favorite season picked out and would of course, have the exact reason as to why it was your fav.
Of course, we would get the...
"I absolutely love Spring time because everything is in bloom."
Or
"I can't wait till this summer because I just love going out to the lake with the fam."
Or
"I'll never forget seeing Vermont in Autumn with all of the changing of the colors. Man was it breathtaking."
Or
Every East Coaster saying, "I just can't wait for Winter to show it's beautiful face and dump extreme amounts of snow just so it can brighten up my day"
...said no New Yorker ever!
That's right, there are seasons that we all love and look forward to, but sometimes, there are also seasons that some of us just dread.
Well, this past Spring...
Although the flowers were all in bloom and my favorite season, Summer, which was just around the corner...
The season I'm about to drop on you is not one from above, but I have a feeling you're gonna like it.
Yes! My family and I, well mainly my wife and I, celebrated a season that I know most of you just might say is your NEW favorite season....
I'm talkin' Agave Season!!!
Yeah, you know, that Blue Agave plant which is where a little thing called Tequila is derived from.
And tequila my friends, when drinking straight, shot after shot, is the reason that some, most, well, pretty much all of us, usually make some bad decisions....
But....
If you just happen to mix that silver or gold tequila with a little lime juice, orange liqueur, a splash of sweetener and some salt on the rim...
That my friends is a Margarita and NO bad decision has ever come out of ordering a Margarita EXCEPT not ordering a second one ;)
Well this Spring, while in Huntington Beach on Spring Break for our kids school, we decided the Season of Agave was upon us and what better time to celebrate it than the present.
Yes, Agave Seasons Mexican restaurant was just a short walk from the Hyatt Regency Resort where we called home for a few days and it was just what we needed after lounging around all day at the pool.
So of course, first things first, we each
ordered ourselves a Margarita...
A little complimentary chips n salsa followed..
And instantly I was transported to my happy place.
From there, it was Sizzling Fajita city and boy did they sizzle.
Served with all the expected sides (rice, beans, pico, guac, sour cream & warm tortillas....
Yeah, I was a happy boy!
The food was good, the service was standard and the salsa had a kick.
Overall, it was a decent meal & it did the job.
So...
The next time you are craving a Marg...
Don't stress if it's not a hot summer day.
And definitely
Don't stress if it is a chilly Winter evening.
Cause no matter the reason, & no matter the season.
It's ALWAYS Margarita 'o clock at Agave Seasons!
