D: We were shopping at the LCBO like we often do, and we found this bottle of Patron Citronge (insert accents on letters here). It’s a cool frosted bottle, and it sounded interesting, so we grabbed it. It comes with this card with a recipe for ‘Perfect Margarita’, so we’re giving that a try.

But this week, I didn’t really feel like following any specific recipe, so I decided to dabble in my own. We bought some salmon, so I googled some generic recipes for marinades, and based on...…

D: So we were shopping at the LCBO and Steph noticed this interesting looking bottle sitting on the shelf. It, being super weird, sounded worth a try so we grabbed that.
