Sauza 901 Tasting {#sponsor product review}

A little while back I was contacted by some media folks who offered me a bottle of Sauza 901.*

Why not?

I mentioned it to some friends on our last camping trip in September and they all had the same question: Where is it?

Whoops. I hadn't brought it.

So, for our annual Halloween camping trip last weekend, I packed the bottle, some skull shot glasses - that seemed festive -, organic limes, and some Himalaya salt.

I had many willing tasters around the campfire that evening. Thanks, guys and gals!

About Sauza 901...
At first I thought this might be just another celebrity endorsement...and typically I steer clear of those. However, it appears Justin Timberlake traveled to Jalisco, Mexico and actually took an active role in creating his own tequila several years ago. This triple-distilled tequila is the result. Its name: 901 refers to his hometown area code in Memphis. That's kind of a nice detail.

Tasting...
I didn't muddle it up with too many other flavors and steered clear of making cocktails. I wanted to taste it mostly pure. So, I served it with just some salt and lime. And I was delighted. Sauza 901 is super smooth with light spice and some smoky and herbaceous notes.

At first I thought that I would just taste a little for the review and end up cooking with the rest. But I just might enjoy the entire bottle with friends and skip the tequila shrimp. Salud!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
