Hard at Work Sass-ifying your Home?

Talk of lounging on decks and firing up the grill was all the rage on Friday. Of course all that time outside of your house = staring at the house and yard = a whole new list of projects. So if you are hard at work sprucing up your abode considering the following:
  • Check out the farmers market for great deals on healthy flowers and vegetable plants. Often you'll find you get more plant for your dollar than the hardware/superstore chain outlets and get a chance to support local business.
  • Wish your house was a little more green? There is a Green Home Happy Hour on Wednesday 5/26 @ 1616 Minnehaha pkwy 5:30 - 8pm. Great forum to ask questions and pick up some ideas.
  • If you go on a landscaping attack check with your local garden center as many of them accept the plastic pots back to be recycled/reused.
If work is not on the to-do list I offer you this -

Pineapple-Chile Margarita

  • 8 (3/4- to 1-inch) chunks peeled pineapple
  • 4 slices red jalapeƱo chile with seeds
  • 1/2 cup 100% blue agave silver tequila
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons Simple Syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Cointreau or other orange liqueur
  • 2 cups ice cubes, divided
