An Oldie but a Goodie

Many arcane pre-prohibition cocktails are, in my opinion, superior to the overly sweet juice-heavy concoctions of today which use such things as flavored Vodka. One such cocktail is the Ramos Gin Fizz demonstrated here.

Eye Openers


This delicious breakfast will impress, if not certainly wake up your overnight guest.

Ojo Rojo, or Huevos Avocado

Take one not quite ripe Avocado, slice in half and take out the seed. Dig out a little extra space for this or use a small egg. I had to separate a bit of the white before placement.
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Place the egg in the pit you made in the Avocado.
Sprinkle a little Cayenne and a little Chipotle powder artfully around the yolk. This can be done after cooking but I did so before to lock in the flavors. Add a sprinkle of Salt
Sprinkle shredded Manchego or Chihuahua on top.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until your egg is sufficiently solidified. A teaspoon of salsa may be added artfully as well before serving.

This can be accompanied by a nice cold Chihuahua--
a shot of Tequila in a glass of Grapefruit Juice or a Tequila Screwdriver -- As shot of Tequila in a glass of Orange Juice.

Bon Appetit and here's lookin' at you, kid.
