Today is our 32nd wedding anniversary. My husband Bill has been a fire fighter for almost 25 years. He has missed many special occasions. Sometimes I have been so mad at him for putting us last. The kids would say
there dad goes again and we would go with out him. As the years pasted I remember why I married him. He is such a caring man and would give you the shirt of his back. This last year his health has went down hill and he is going to have to give up the fire dept and driving truck. It breaks my heart to see this happening. Maybe know he can do some of the projects around home and we can have sometime together.
If you know a fire fighter it takes a special kind of person to do that job. This license plate tag would make a great gift for them.
Four-wheel drive, 4WD, 4×4 (“four by four”), or AWD (“all wheel drive”) is a four-wheeled vehicle with a drivetrain that allows all four wheels to receive torque from the engine simultaneously. While many people
associate the term with off-road vehicles and Sport utility vehicles, powering all four wheels provides better control than normal road cars on many surfaces, and is an important part in the sport of rallying.
In abbreviations such as 4×4, the first figure is normally taken as the total number of wheels and the second is normally taken as the number of powered wheels (the numbers are actually axle-ends to allow for more than one wheel on each end of an axle). 4×2 means a four-wheel vehicle in which engine power is transmitted to only two axle-ends: the front two in front-wheel drive or the rear two in rear-wheel drive.
Any body that 4 wheels will like to have this 4 x4 license plate tag for their vehicle.
Lyrics to Flaming Heart : M. Ward
Well I’m trying hard to pass the time but I just got more time to kill
You know the flaming heart can’t get his fill
But the flaming heart will try and try as he will
And the flaming eyes I had are gone, they went out with the thrill
You know the flaming heart can’t get his fill
But the flaming heart will try and try as he will
Oh, I got a flaming heart
Oh, I got a flaming heart
I gotta roll like a tire
I’ve got a love that’s mighty like a rose
And the flaming stars I had are gone
They burned out over the hill
You know the flaming heart can’t get his fill
But the flaming heart will try and try as he will
Oh, I got a flaming heart
Oh, I got a flaming heart
I gotta roll like a tire
I’ve got a love that’s mighty like a rose
Just a change of pace for my readers. If their is something you would like to make a comment on please do so. This license plate tag makes a great gift for anyone.
The margarita is a cocktail consisting of tequila mixed with triple sec and lime or lemon juice, often served with salt on the glass rim. It is the most common tequila-based cocktail in the United States. The drink is usually served shaken with ice, on the rocks, blended with ice (frozen margarita) or without ice (straight up). All three methods are frequently served with salt or sugar on the rim of the glass which is optional.
Margaritas may be served in a variety of glasses, most notably the stereotypical margarita glass, a variant of the classic Champagne coupe; this is particularly associated with blended fruit margaritas, and the glass is also used for dishes such as guacamole or shrimp cocktails. In formal settings margaritas are often served in a standard cocktail glass, while in informal settings, particularly with ice, margaritas may be served in an old-fashioned glass.
Variations
Common ratios for a margarita are
2:1:1 = (50% tequila, 25% Triple Sec, 25% fresh lime or lemon juice)
3:2:1 = (50% tequila, 33% Triple Sec, 17% fresh lime or lemon juice)
3:1:1 = (60% tequila, 20% Triple Sec, 20% fresh lime or lemon juice)
6:3:1 = (60% tequila, 30% Triple Sec, 10% fresh lime or lemon juice)
1:1:1 = (33% tequila, 33% Triple Sec, 33% fresh lime or lemon juice)
although the IBA (IBA Official list of Cocktails) standard is
7:4:3 = (50% tequila, 29% Triple Sec, 21% fresh lime or lemon juice)
Margaritas often contain an additional sweetener, such as simple syrup or plain sugar, alternatively the Margarita can be made with bottled lime juice, with frozen limeade, or sour mix (each of which contains sugar). Margaritas can also be made with muddled or blended fruits like lime, lemon, cherries, raspberries, strawberries, watermelon, orange, mango or blueberries.
Flavored liqueurs
Other than triple sec, other types of orange-flavored liqueur are sometimes used, such as Patrón Citrónge (produced in Mexico), Cointreau (produced in France), blue curaçao yielding the blue margarita. The “top shelf,” “grand”, “royal”, or “Cadillac” margaritas often contain a premium citrus liqueur such as Grand Marnier or Gran Gala. Such higher quality or “top shelf” margaritas will usually use a premium grade of tequila as well. Often, when sweeter fruit juices or freshly puréed fruits are added to the margarita, the amount of orange-flavored liqueur is often reduced or it is eliminated entirely. In addition to orange-flavored liqueurs, secondary liqueurs may occasionally be added to the cocktail, including black raspberry-flavored Chambord.
Fresh lime juice
Margaritas come in a variety of flavors and colors.Fresh squeezed lime juice is the key ingredient. The most common lime in the U.S. is the thick skinned Persian lime. However, margaritas in Mexico are generally made with Mexican limes (Key limes). These are small, thin skinned limes and have a more tart and an often bitter flavor compared to Persian limes. Margaritas made with lemon have a softer taste, especially when Meyer lemons are used.
Other fruits
Alternate fruits and juice mixtures can also be used in a margarita. Many recipes call for a splash of orange juice. When the word “margarita” is used by itself, it typically refers to the lime or lemon juice margarita, but when other juices are used, the fruits are typically added as adjectives in the name; with lime juice or lemon juice added like a condiment (and a wedge of lime often added to the glass). Examples of popular combinations are:
Texas margarita, with orange juice, and beer sometimes
Raspberry margarita, with lime juice
Strawberry or peach margarita, with lemon juice
Mango margarita, with lime juice
Melon margarita, often with melon liqueur such as Midori
Banana margarita, with orange and lime juice
Apple margarita, with Berentzen’s apple liqueur
Margarona, with a mini Corona beer turned upside down in the cocktail.
