Margaritaville
I had a thought about writing a Margarita recipe book. I went to Mexico to see the Tequila-making process and taste each and every type of Tequila manufactured.
Or so I'm told.
Later, when I woke up at home, I was disappointed to find there was already a very nice-looking Margarita recipe book. I keep the book on hand, as a kind of joke. It opens with some history, then a classic, uncompromising, margarita recipe. Turning the page, one learns that a Margarita can, in fact, be made with a different Tequila and orange liqueur altogether! Each and every recipe is exactly the same; only the brands of Tequila and liqueur are changed, to protect the innocent. If you want a book where you can find an identical, genetically purebred Margarita regardless of which page you open to, this is the one to get. Heck, get two dozen identical copies. Your sense of whimsy will not be lost on me.
