German Shrimp Pasta Salad
This is a favorite recipe handed down from my Oma, who used to make this for the deli. She used elbow macaroni. I have altered her methods to decrease prep time without sacrificing flavor.
Vampiros Mexicanos (Mexican Vampires)
Vampiros Mexicanos is a real Mexican cocktail! This drink combines, in one glass, the best of Mexico: tequila and sangrita (Mexican's favorite tequila chaser). Don't look for cheap tequila; if you like the good stuff, don't be afraid to mix it.
