Watermelon Margarita, martha stewart, cocktail, margarita

Handsome and I started a new tradition at the beginning of this year.  The last weekend of each season we make a special dinner for just us two.  We talk about the highs and lows of the past season and we make a list of what we would like to accomplish for the coming season.

We prepare our dinner together as well as clean up together (with our busy schedules that is real a treat).  There is no talk about work or the kids, it’s just about him and I.

Since Autumn officially starts on Wednesday we had our season ending dinner this past weekend.  We started off the best fruit (in my humble opinion) summer has to offer.  We made watermelon margaritas.  I’m sorry I didn’t come across this recipe earlier.  We did adapted the recipe to our liking (the beauty of a recipe it really is only a guide).
