How much better it is
to carry wood to the fire
than to moan about your life.
How much better
to throw garbage
onto the compost, or to pin the clean
sheet on the line
with a gray-brown wooden clothes pins!

I wanted to make Blood Orange Margaritas for Cinco de Mayo but didn’t get to the grocery store in time. Since there were Cara Cara oranges in the fruit bowl, so I decided to go with them. After consulting several recipes online, I created my own recipe and if I do say so myself, these Margaritas are perfect for a party or for any night you feel like a little celebrating is in order.
(Serves 3-6, depending on glass size)
1 cup Cara Cara orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
3/4 cup Tequila
1/3 cup Cointreau or other triple sec
1/4 cup simple syrup
about 20 ice cubes
Stir ingredients in a pitcher and serve.
