<p>Just a reminder in case any of you are wondering what you should have for dinner tonight. It’s time for Mexican food!</p>

2

<p>I never wait for 5 de mayo for Mexican food!</p>

3

<p>^^ We don’t either but it’s still a good excuse.</p>

4

<p>I made bbqued ribs on the grill and homemade guacamole. Odd combination, I know - but I really wanted the guacamole! Happy 5th!</p>

<p>We prefer to celebrate a birthday, much more important to us.</p>

6

<p>CAMARONES AL AJILLO! oh wait… that’s what I bought for lunch…</p>

7

<p>we have mexican food every week. We don’t need a holiday!
H and D did go to a Cinco de Mayo and men’s volleyball game watching party. UCSB versus USC.</p>

8

<p>Yeah, but I usually only have TACOs (lingua!) at lunchtime…today, I had camarones!</p>

Good - you should consume lots of guac and avocados.
(I grow avocados - maybe you’ve even had some of mine.)</p>

12

<p>^Wow! Do you grow them commercially? Farmer’s market? CSA?</p>

13

<p>We celebrated with Sapporo and “fake” sushi that had some avocado in it. :)</p>

14

<p>I totally forgot it was Cinco de Mayo. Ate Japanese :(</p>

15

<p>I never really celebrated Cinco de Mayo, but that’s because the 5th of May is also the anniversary of the death of Bobby Sands. </p>

<p>30 years…</p>

16

<p>Wooo tequila shots!</p>

<p>Bobby Sands. That name is a blast from the past.</p>

<p>My old boss, an O’Riordan if there ever was one, swore up and down that Bobby Sands wasn’t Irish.</p>

<p>

Not only was he Irish, he often spoke and wrote in Irish while in prison (I have a book of his prison writings, some are in Irish). He was a symbol for the national liberation and unity that a majority of people in Ireland wanted. Though it’s funny that he won a British parliament election. </p>

<p>I made a Mexican Kashi Pilaf with corn, onion , red and jalepeno pepper , garlic , cilantro and lime juice. It was pretty tasty…daughter made a mango / avocado marguarita…looked a little odd for my taste , but she liked it
I wish I could grow avocados…love them !</p>
