Fresh Squeezed Lime Orange Margaritas

Today I am going to tell you to story of a tree. Way back in my days of graduate school, some friends all went in on a shipment to get some house plants. As a poor student, I picked something inexpensive that would provide me with food. Over the last 7 years, her name has become Miss Lime Tree. She is an indoor/outdoor tree that has produced 5 crops of limes so far. This year is a record year with 26 limes! What do you do with that many limes? Fresh squeezed lime orange margaritas, of course! Continue reading →
