We’re all from Mexico on Cinco de Mayo!
Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of a Mexican (state of Puebla) victory over the French… a while ago.
In the Western U.S. at least, it is celebrated – I think partly because there is a large population from Mexico as well as …HEY! – its a party and it involves margaritas and Mexican food and beer. YAY!
I am all for it.
And, I am ready.
Mint. Newly available “live” just like the basil. It doesn’t have anything to do with Cinco de Mayo but I found it gathering the other stuff and it is so PRETTY on the window sill.
O Corona! I did not buy tequila for margaritas as I LOVE tequila and I love it a little too well to have it around during the work week.
I like Corona. And I found limes for only 68 cents!!! – they have been over a $1.00 lately. Corona and limes.
I like Corona and lime but I can behave with it.
It might change, but my Cinco de Mayo week menu includes fish tacos with mango-pineapple salsa, fish enchiladas verde and a LOT of guacamole.
I don’t think the rhubarb is going to make Cinco de Mayo, but it is doing well!
Lily of the Valley!
Lilac buds.
Happy Day before Cinco de Mayo!
