Thursday is Daiquiri Day

Random sight of the day. A woman in full George Washington costume (including the hat) sitting in Cafe Manna eating a sandwich at lunchtime. Which means that in the past couple of weeks we've seen two Presidents in Arlington. Not the current one of course, but we're working through them!!

Dawn and I were feeling the need to shake loose a little tonight. And what better way to do that than to make daiquiris? It just so happened that Dawn had a blender in the car...and a bottle of rum (of course, we had in no way had planned this!). After Dawn made a quick trip to Harris Teeter for mango we were good to go. We were in the kitchen just before 5pm whizzing up a blender-full of rather good mango daiquiris. We managed to make quite a mess, and the consistency took a little work - mine was first out and needed a spoon to consume it - but we got it down pretty well in the end! We were pretty quickly joined by a large portion of the office, responding to the siren call of the blender. There was a party going on!
