Quandary!

Egad.

Tomorrow is both The Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo. What to do? Mint Juleps or Margaritas? Bourbon or tequila? (To do both sounds neither very smart nor very appetizing.)

Those of you who know me (or have read the title of this blog) know only too well where I'm likely to fall on this issue. Besides, julep season only lasts about a month, whereas margaritas are de rigeur throughout Daylight Savings Time (which Congress so thoughtfully extended for us this year).

Then again, I have to admit that on a sunny weekend afternoon, a tart, refreshing lime-and-tequila libation does sound more appealing than an oversweetened bourbon-and-sugar one. Hmm. Back to square one.

Luckily, there are safeguards in place that ensure these two events will never coincide with St. Patrick's Day.
