Just used the recipe from Andy Cooks on YT. It was delicious!!!

Tucson is rad. No

Soaked the chickpeas. Removed the skins best I could after cooking. Made some garlic confit that I blended in with the chickpeas, tahini, salt as well as some of the garlic oil. For plating, I just put some of the garlic oil on top with cayenne pepper and chopped parsley. It was really good!

The Catalina Mountains near Tucson / Oro Valley are so lovely for sunset hikes.

One of the last really nice nights here in Tucson before it starts heating up for the summer. I love this place.

My margarita tonight:
2 oz - reposado tequila
1 oz - fresh squeezed lime juice
0.5 oz - Cointreau
0.5 oz - pomegranate syrup

Combine in shaker; shake and then strain.

I make my own pomegranate syrup and it’s super simple. For a 1:1 ratio just pour 1 cup of real pomegranate juice into a saucepan with 1 cup of sugar. Heat up until low simmer and let the sugar dissolve/mix into the juice and reduce a bit for a few mins until you like the consistency. It’s awesome in cocktails.
