I wish that some people came with a reset button…
When the dreaded rainbow wheel starts spinning,
or the fatal blue “screen of death” error message appears
and we feel like pulling our hair out in frustration..
Yeah, it’s like that… only with people,
and even ourselves…
A reset button would be nice… handy even.
Imagine a fresh start with a cleared history, no cache or cookies, no crashes.
No corrupted files or “infinite loops” to hang up your life.
You’d have that fresh just “out of the box” feeling…
A new start with everything operating at optimal speed…
like the first time you meet someone and there is only the imagined future.
You could be a completely different person, if you choose…
My friend, Val, once told me that you could immediately be that person just by deciding to do so.
That it didn’t take years, a stack of books, or professional courses and workshops…
I think she had something there.
The lake is my reset button…
A chance to slow down and really be in the moment with the people in my life
And with myself…
Family, friends, pre-dinner snacks and a refreshing Beergarita can help you reboot..
This recipe was perfected by my friend Patty,
alter it at your peril…
Trust me, it’s perfect…
and everything else will just have to wait.
Patty’s Perfect Beergarita
- 1 tin frozen Limeade juice
- Tequila, Jose Cuervo Especial or your favorite brand
- 3 beers, any brand
- Spoon the frozen, unthawed Limeade mix into a large serving pitcher.
- Pour your favorite tequila into the empty Limeade tin until it is half full. Add to the Limeade. Slowly pour in three ice-cold beers, carefully pouring down the side of the container so it does not foam and overflow the pitcher. Using a long handled spoon, gently mix and stir until everything is well blended.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Beergarita over.
Your pictures are lovely. How I wish I could sit and sip on one of those beergaritas right now; but I will soon.
Then I hope it will be sooner than later for you:)
What a lovely post, these are just beautiful pictures, and then to have it end in a recipe that uses tequila! Perfect! But… for those of us not familiar with it, what’s Limeade? Cordial concentrate?
Minute Maid Limeade is found (in Canada, anyway) in the frozen can section of the grocery store. It’s a frozen concentrate that normally gets stirred up with water, just like frozen orange juice, etc. Does that help?
Ah, yes, I think so. I’m going to try and copy this with normal concentrate and freeze it. I’ll let you know how i go!
I hope it works for you..here’s a link that shows what the limeade tin looks like:

It is sweetened so if you use concentrate you may have to add sugar:)
