Since my wife has been down for a while the shopping and cooking has fallen to me. So I thought I'd cook a ham again. It's been a while. I usually wrap one in aluminum foil and then pour either 7up or Sprite over the ham and cook it like that.
I bought a good ham on sale last Saturday but forgot the soda. All I had in the fridge that might have worked was a bottle of Jose Cuervo margaritas. I thought what the heck. Give it a shot. Can't hurt.
FYI: A ham soaked in margaritas and then cooked is extremely tender but also has a surprisingly tart lime taste to it. I never thought about that as I was pouring the bottle. It was actually pretty good.
Try it. You'll like it.

"Life is still just life"
This is a near-quote from my favorite book, Lonesome Dove , by Larry McMurtry. Augustus McCrae, a fun-loving old Texas Ranger speaks. "You'd be better off if you could just enjoy a poke once in a while." Augustus said, taking one of her hands in his and smoothing her fingers. "Life in San Fransisco is still just life. If you want one thing too much it's likely to be a disappointment. The healthy way is to learn to like the everyday things, like soft beds and buttermilk-and feisty gentlemen."

Sounds very good and gosh, a guy who is an experimental cook (in a good way)-what a concept.
