![]() ![]() View on Amazon: my blender, easy lime juicer/squeezer Some blenders are better than others at crushing ice, so you may need to stop and stir it a few times and keep blending until all the ice chunks are gone. Cover and blend until slushy and no ice chunks remain. Fill the blender to the top with ice cubes. ![]() You may want to make some adjustments to the amount of ingredients to suit your taste. NOTE: I like my margaritas strong and tart. (* or substitute fresh lime juice and agave nectar) Give it a whirl just long enough to blend it together. Combine the can of limeade*, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice in a blender. View on Amazon: organic agave nectar syrupĭon't like agave nectar? You can also substitute honey or a simple sugar syrup for the HFCS in frozen limeade concentrate. My printable recipe at the end of the post provides both options. It tastes great and is HFCS free! So, it's up to you if you prefer the convenience of using the frozen concentrate or don't mind a little extra effort to juice a few limes. I now make a modified version omitting the frozen limeade concentrate and instead substituting 1 cup of fresh lime juice and 1/2 cup of agave nectar syrup (still a sweetener, but not as bad for you as HFCS). In fact, HFCS is listed as its main ingredient. UPDATE WITH NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP: Since first posting this recipe, I have become concerned about the high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in the frozen limeade concentrate. Assemble the ingredients: frozen limeade concentrate, tequila, triple sec (or other orange liqueur), fresh limes, salt for glass rims-either margarita salt or kosher salt are best (they're more coarse than table salt) Step-by-step photos for Make-Ahead Frozen Margaritas Here's a quick video that shows how easy these are to make: Love the convenience and it's a fun, novel way to serve the margaritas that our guests always enjoy. No last minute preparation or blending drinks throughout the party. By making these frozen margaritas ahead and pouring them into individual size mason jars before refreezing them, they are ready to serve when the guests arrive. I love to serve these when we have parties, but I don't want to be a slave to the blender all night. So, this eventually turned into a make-ahead recipe. (Assuming I want to function in the real world the next day!) After putting some of the leftovers in the freezer to drink at another time, I discovered how well this recipe freezes and refreezes. ![]() When it's just the two of us, as much as I would like to drink a half a blender of margaritas on my own, that's normally not a good idea. The only problem is that you have to make a whole blender full at one time. King-Man and I often enjoy these margaritas on a hot summer night or when we have friends over. This recipe is a favorite that I've been making for many, many years. It's hard to beat a margarita on a hot day. Skip the photo tutorial - Jump straight to the recipe *If you prefer to avoid the high fructose corn syrup in frozen limeade concentrate, you may substitute: -1 cup fresh lime juice -1/2 cup agave nectar OR honey OR simple sugar syrup. Remove them from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before stirring into a slushy consistency. If made ahead, these will reach a hard ice state when refrozen due to the lack of alcohol. VIRGIN MARGARITAS: omit tequila and triple sec and substitute equivalent amount of water. The alcohol keeps them from freezing to a hard solid state, so they're always ready to remove from the freezer, serve, and drink. Use a fork to break up and stir the semi-frozen margaritas into a slushy consistency. To serve, remove from freezer & immediately dip it in salt (while the margarita is still solid and won't come out of the inverted jar). MAKE AHEAD MASON JAR MARGARITAS: Pour blended margaritas into 1/2 pint (1 cup) mason jars, screw on the lids and freeze. For an optional garnish, slice a lime into circles or semi-circles, cut a notch in them and hang on the edge of the glass. Using a leftover juiced lime, rub the cut side of the lime around the rim of the glasses. In a blender, combine limeade, tequilla, triple sec, and lime juice. ![]()

![]() ![]() In fact, some estimates suggest up to half of the worlds cat population can be described as tabbies! This means there are many breeds that accept the tabby pattern and you can find tabbies all over the world. BreedsĪs we mentioned, tabby is not a breed of cat but is a physical description. The gene can be found in all domestic cats and even many black cats looked at in the sunlight can reveal tabby markings. Many believe the tabby coat pattern has been in domesticated cats since the very beginning. The tabby gene is more dominant than the other coat colour genes. This is because the tabby markings are best suited for life in the wild as they offer great camouflage making hiding and hunting easier. We can see a lot of similar patterns to the ones seen on tabby cats on African wild cats. The “M” that is seen on the forehead of tabby cats comes with many religious stories.Įach story brings the same essence, for example, the Christian version of the story says the tabby cat came to comfort baby Jesus and Mary marked the cat with an “M” in gratitude, while in the Muslim version a tabby cat named Muezza once saves his masters life by killing a snake and from then on all tabby cats were remembered with an “M” on their forehead.Īs fun as the stories are, there is a genetic reason for the M and the M is a standard part of the pattern of a tabby. The cats were compared to the silk which was referred to as “atabis” and later, “tabis” which translated into English as “tabby” giving the cats the name. The name Tabby is believed to come from the name of a striped silk in Baghdad. This is because the gene is on the X chromosome meaning male cats only need one copy of it to be orange while females need two. Orange tabby cats are typically male thanks to genetics. Tabby cats can be a variety of colours, the most commonly occurring is black-based but brown, grey, cream and orange are also very common.Īll in all, there are over 60 possible coat colour variations that can occur. ![]() They may also show traits of the other types described above. Patched is often used to describe a tortoiseshell tabby. Patched TabbyĪ patched tabby has different colour patches (commonly brown, red, blue-grey or cream) across their fur. The overall look of a ticked tabby is a salt-and-pepper or sand-like appearance without any obvious stripes or bands. They also have the common facial tabby markings. You may not be able to see this unless you look closely at the lighter parts of the coat. Ticked TabbyĪ ticked tabby is also known as Agouti, their fur has faint light and dark alternating bands. The spots can be random or in straight lines. These spots can be small or large and usually appear as blotches. Spotted TabbyĪ spotted tabby has circular or oval-shaped spots on their coat. They also have lines along their chest and solid or broken stripes on their body.Īcross the shoulder and haunches there are faint lines that are in a pattern similar to a fish skeleton which is where the name mackerel comes from. This pattern is also very commonly seen a mackerel tabby has thin stripes around their tail and legs. There are three broad lines running along the cats back and there are normally rings around the cat’s neck.Ī classic tabby also has button-like blotches on their belly, tails and legs (don’t mistake these for a belly button). The side of the cat’s body has bold swirls which are prominent and can appear like large blotches or a “target”. Classic TabbyĪ classic tabby is a very common pattern and is what many people think of when they refer to a tabby cat. ![]() While all tabbies have the same facial markings, there are different body patterns you may see.īelow are the most common tabby markings and how to tell the difference between them: 1. ![]() ![]() Tawakol and his team analysed the drinking habits of over 50,000 people who were enrolled in the Mass General Brigham Biobank.

SiteOne Landscape Supply is an industrial products company that provides landscape supplies to contractors and designers across several US states and Canada. As such gains are unusual for a hedge fund like Geode that mainly deals with investments in diversified risky options across various markets for a broad range of clients making significant profits on them. The latest data from SEC shows that Geode Capital Management LLC increased its holding in SITE by 5.6%, currently owning around 1.33% worth $70,183,000 of SiteOne Landscape Supply’s stock after purchasing an additional 31,837 shares in the final quarter of last year.

The company was birthed through the merger of McGinnis Farms and Century Rain Aid inside of John Deere, who thought that selling nursery, landscaping, and irrigation products to commercial landscapers would also help them sell more tractors and mowers.
