Happy 4th of July! Living in Japan has taught me a few things over the last 2 years like: how to eat extremely well with chop sticks, how to drive on the other side of the road, and most of all, how to love America like crazy. I will never take America for granted again and I have to say I have so much pride and love for our country.
Last night (on the 3rd for some reason) we went to a 4th of July celebration and saw a fireworks show. Love fireworks. Every time.
Today I had a great morning at the barn and now I'm relaxing sipping my delish homemade margarita on this beautiful summer 4th of July day. I love me some margs. I thought I'd share with you this marg recipe because it's easy and too good not to share! I have to give credit to my lil Hope for introducing me to this.
In the blender: I cut up about six or eight limes, two lemons, squeeze, add two to three
full tablespoons of homemade simple syrup or agave nectar, 1/2 cup
tequila (or more depending on how adventurous you're feeling!) and 1/2
cup cointreau or orange liqueur. Lots of ice!
Cheers and Happy 4th of July to you!! Happy Birthday AMERICA!!

I could not agree more about how living abroad has taught me to truly love and appreciate our awesome America. :) Fireworks and homemade margaritas -- a fitting tribute!
I also agree. Living in Japan has also brought a huge respect for our host nation too. I think going back to the states someday will be more of a culture shock than moving here was!
