Ceviche, that's really good.

Last night I had a good time talking to my good friend Matt. He and I have always had a passion for ceviche in all of its glory. Therefore, today I give you a ceviche recipe. I hope you enjoy it! What ya need: 1 pound fresh Pacific halibut or other firm-fleshed fish 1 teaspoon kosher salt 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted 3/4 cup green olives, sliced 1/2 cup tomatillos, diced 1/4 cup onion, very finely chopped 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves 1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded, and minced (optional) 2 tablespoons olive oil Tostadas or tortilla chips Ok, so: Grab a sharp knife and chop the fish into half-inch cubes. Now grab a medium-sized bowl, and coat the fish with salt and lime juice by tossing it around in the bowl. Now let this sit and marinate for about 30 minutes, tossing it every so often to maintain the coating. Now dice your avocados into small cubes. Throw the avocados and the other ingredients into the bowl and season with olive oil to taste. Boom,

Booze recipe? Sure!

Every had a Palmer? It's really easy to make and unlike th Arnold Palmer, this has booze in it. What ya need: 2 oz of whiskey. 1/2 teaspoon of lemon Juice 1 dash of bitters Ok so: Shake all the ingredients in a shaker and then strain into a cocktail glass. Boom, you're done.
