Chilango margaritas are my only friend

Let it be known that the Chilango Margarita at El Chile is officially my favorite drink!

I'm giving it my personal prize: Gold star, Chilango Margarita! Austinites, have you tried this? No? Well, don't just take my word for it. Listen to Jessica S. at Austin Yelp, talking about El Chile:

"I'm sure I've eaten here. I know I liked the food. I know I loved the salsa. I don't think I've ever been disappointed by the food. Or the service.

I do know that I've had several Chilangos here. And that's why I can't remember the food.

I do remember that I love those, though."

Yes, Jessica S., yes. I just finished having one this evening, and seriously, how can you say no to this drink. It's spicy, it's orange-y, the sides are rimmed with "lucas" (that tangy/citrusy stuff that used to come in little green packets, that you liked off the palm of your hands...do you guys know what I'm talking about? Or was that just a San Antonio thing? Do you all think I'm horribly unsanitary now?)

Non-Austinites, please come and try one. Hey, speaking of that: what's everyone's favorite drink? I'm taking a poll. Well, actually, I'm wrapping up a poll right now about everybody's favorite candy when they were a kid. What? Yes: it is currently on this blog's sidebar, but shall disappear soon enough. Just vanish away! And then, we can all move onto alcohol.

I should point out, though, that the majority of folks here favored Reese's Pieces as a child. In fact, no one liked Tootsie Rolls, that miserable excuse for chocolate. Good for you. I knew you all had good taste.

Let's end the night with a pretty outfit.



An homage if you will to one of my favorite characters of all time, Penny Lane in Almost Famous.

Make more movies like this one, Kate!
