You guys, the weather.
It literally rained all day yesterday. While never making it out of the 50s.
What is this.
It reminds me of that time last summer when my husband was on 24-hour duty and somehow his humvee got swept away by a flash flood. He came home soaking wet at 1 am and I was all “HOW IS YOUR PHONE?!” and he just stared at me for awhile before saying, “That Private and I almost died!”
And then I said “No, but really, how’s your phone?”
Not because I don’t care but because… in what world does a HUMVEE get swept away in a FLASH FLOOD in COLORADO?
I didn’t full understand what happened until they had to go dig the vehicle out of the mud the next day and sent photos.
And yeah, we totally had to buy a new phone.
In honor of Colorado’s weather being stupid and ruining the last full week of summer for us, I made margaritas! Margaritas make everything better!
These guava margaritas are super delicious – they just taste like summer! My only complaint is that the guava nectar I used wasn’t bright pink, but hey, it still tastes like guava and that’s the important part!

So scary! Glad everything is ok! Guava is like my #1 favorite fruit but it’s hard to get the good stuff here in the states so the canned stuff is next to best. I eat my weight in guava when I go to Taiwan. Margs are my fav so this is a must-make!!
Karen @ The Food Charlatan says
Whoa!! That is crazy about the flash flood Amanda. So glad he’s okay! I think I would probably want a margarita after that…These are beautiful!
