It all started when a fellow Mama casually mentioned the secret ingredient in the oh-so-delicious margarita of limey goodness. AM took it to task to procure this ingredient for our upcoming overnighter playdate (our daughters are the bestest of friends, and have totally hounded us to have a sleepover, and we have caved to their demands, because they were way demanding and are too cute together, like at the hockey game last weekend...
...see what I'm talking about? How could anyone resist the cutest of this combination? So the girls twisted our arms and we gave in and said, "Well, shucks, if we HAVE to.") Besides, I needed a reason to test out the new blender with the margarita dispenser. You think I'm kidding? Check this baby out (and no, mine didn't cost that much). (Note to mister mrtl - the old blender was sacrificed while making a ever-so-yummy butternut squash soup for a Halloween party.)
Anyhoo, AM got all busy doing -- what? MOM stuff -- and dropped the ball on finding the secret ingredient, although in all fairness I should contend that she didn't really drop the ball, but bounced it around a few times and then put it down in a safe place to get to later, and then got a bit distracted by other, much lesser-priority tasks (I don't know what, diapers or dishes or more crack-ho sock knitting), and so when I asked her how the search was going and she hemmed and hawed just that least little bit that she had tried here and there and had yet to try hither and yon, I cracked my knuckles, slapped my cap, and pulled out my mad Googling skilz. I responded to her email with name, number, and link to a local distributor of said secret ingredient, to which AM responded with, "You are the magical goddess of the internet! I bow down to thee!" and later in IM "you're the bestest super sleuth you need a medal." Rather than a medal I asked for a trophy and shared with her the awesome link I found today while perusing boredatwork.com: http://www.addcaptions.com/.
And behold, my trophy:

If the margaritas are worthy, I shall post the secret ingredient. Stay tuned!
