Happy Cinco de Mayo, y'all!

[mood swung]

I wuz wrong (a first ) - it's not Mexican Independence Day, but the day Mexico whupped up on some French invaders. Spain, France, what's the diff, really?

(I get most of my news from the Mini-Page, btw).


Anyhoo, any holiday that's about good food and better cervezas is ok by me.


Lots of good food here -

I'll be grilling a jalapeno pork loin roast and knocking back a couple of margaritas. Anyone else have a menu planned? BTW, my
great grandmother was a native Mexican, so I've got some actual cred in this department!

I'll be keeping it simple--tacos and margaritas. My mom made the hot sauce, so I'll be keeping it real, eses.

Mmm. Unfortunately there aren't any good restaurants around here, but I do like me some Mexican food.

I was celebrating too as a) it was the first of our two May Monday bank holidays, b) it was Momofuku day and c) the sun was shining. Had lunch and dinner outside, felt so liberating after the absurd coldness of April. Kids and doggie loving being outside. No Mexican food, but I did rustle about a pretty well perfect (even if I say so myself, well I have done it too many times now for it not to be) classic English roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. Yummy, washed down with liberal splashings of a decent Campo de Borja Spanish red that I got from Majestic in their recent and entiurely fabulous '25% off all Spanish wines' promo.
