INTRODUCTIONS!

Ahoy readers, welcome to the St. Pete Beach Margarita Blog! 



Heather left, Kathy right

Let's start with introductions.  I'm Heather, I'll be the 'voice' of the blog, only because Kathy C. ain't got no time for computers!  I drove here to Florida from the San Francisco Bay Area, and basically entered early retirement the moment I set foot in St. Pete Beach.  My husband has, for the time being, graciously given me free rein to hang out with Kathy C. and drink margaritas, as long as the basic needs of the household are being met (whatever that means!)  This being somewhat of a temporary arrangement, I'm on a mission to drink many margaritas, prior to returning to reality and getting a job.

My comrade, Kathy C., is living her best life here in St. Pete Beach after becoming a full-time resident a few years ago.  Kathy is the perfect partner in margarita drinking for many reasons, not the least of which being that this woman brings the party.  People can't resist her- we always leave with a new friend or two, thanks to the gravitational force that is Kathy.  She's a celebrity in her own way, and not to mention, has amazing hair.

A couple months ago, Kathy and I went out to lunch and ended up getting crunk on margaritas (yes, I said "crunk", I'm bringing that word back), and in the middle of professing our love for each other, we cross-eyedly decided that instead of just going around day-drinking and eating french fries, we were going to day-drink margaritas, possibly eat some french fries, and definitely document our margarita sampling on...a BLOG.  Not to make money, not to get free drinks, but just for fun and who knows, maybe some other margarita loving person might enjoy our shenanigans.   Otherwise, we'll just read it and laugh at it.

So there you have it, of course there is much more to us than just tequila and sweet and sour mix, but this is about margaritas!  You'll just have to meet us someday to see what else we're about!  Cheers!

EPISODE 4: SEA CRITTERS

*Full disclosure, I'm writing this post about two months after we actually went to Sea Critters.  Also, I puked that day.  So some details may be a bit hazy.* Other than "Crabby Bill's", Sea Critters might be my favorite restaurant name ever.  I mean, if you went there on a blind date, you could so easily get the conversation going by asking your new friend, "If you were a sea critter, what would you be, and why?"  So even though Kathy and I were not on a date, I asked her that very question!  At first she said, "A crab, because I like to eat them."  Well, I rejected that answer and therefore she revised it to a mermaid, which I thought was much more fitting.   My answer was, a seahorse.  The sea critter version of Kathy has beautiful hair, a siren's voice, and seduces men with her very presence.  I float around latching myself onto the nearest seaweed stalk.  But I'm cute and people like me.

EPISODE 5: BONGO'S

OK so I cheated on Kathy and had a margarita (or so) at Bongo's the other night.  She's cool like that though, and... well, I don't think she gives a shit, because there is no margarita quota! Oh Bongo's...there are so many things RIGHT about Bongo's.  The backdrop being the primary draw, I mean you're sitting in sand!  The sunset happens right in front of you, and if you're lucky, you don't even have to inhale cigarette smoke wafting from one of the tables next to you.  The musicians are so smooth, you don't even realize they are real, live human beings.  The food is totally eatable, and the margaritas... LET ME TELL YOU. The First Round - cups of tequila disguised as margaritas My husband, his friend and I rolled up to one of the Bongo's bars on a Friday night, where three seats just happened to magically open up, like clouds parting and guiding us towards an oracle of a bartender. At first he seemed like he might be kind of a dick, but
