Sounds good buddy! Bookmarked will have to try!
Last night we went with another couple to our favorite Mexican restaurant, Mariachi's and had a great meal along with many Pacifico beers, after dinner me and my buddy had "maybe" too many tequillas!  :o My new favorite brand. Smoothest I may have ever had! Your post reminded me of it....Corzo!
If you like tequilla, try it!

Great recipe, LVC. The neat thing is you can change it with different spices, keep it right but have a variety of "flavors." Thanks!
