On a blustery, wet day, I am thankful for the liquid sunshine provided by Mary Ellen Psaltis’ margarita article. While I’m not sipping a cool beverage (yet!), her recipe and description of how to make the best margaritas brings some instant relief to winter weather in Washington. The weekend forecast doesn’t look too promising for outdoor activities but luckily we have some great articles focused on indoor fun this weekend. Whether it’s margaritas or a warm blanket, I hope you find your liquid sunshine this weekend.
