Since we were serving our Monday Bridge ladies lunch, we needed a unique, i.e. wild and crazy presentation, so we ladled the chili/soup into our bright red Inn at Harbour Ridge mugs, added a slice of jalepeno and more chopped fresh cilantro on top. Now comes the fun! Next we poured just a little Tequila into shot glasses and hung a lime wedge on the side….telling the ladies their Tequila ‘shot’ was for their soup!
Here at the Inn we “present” our breakfast and luncheon entrees so they understood that the chicken breasts had been marinated in Tequila and Lime. They loved their little shots! Course, they love anything with a little alcohol in it! I’m fairly certain guys would get a kick out of this fun way to serve chili, too! Anyone for a few bars of ‘Tequila makes my clothes fall off?’
No, not here! Not at bridge!!! Of course, one or two of the braver ladies did take proper direction on how to ‘lick it, slam it, bite it!” This was not a boring Goren afternoon bridge session, was it, ML?
