cinco de mayo margarita We're nosy, yes we are. So won't you tell us what you did last night for Cinco de Mayo? Maybe you ignored it completely and it was dinner as usual, maybe you threw your own party at home with a walking taco for everyone, or maybe you left work early, went to the closest cantina for cheap Cinco de Mayo happy hour (that would be "hora especial") specials, then made your way to who knows where before finally ending up at home this morning, in the same clothes, with a killer tequil-ler hangover. If that's the case, drink some water, turn off your computer and go back to bed!

Me? I tried to go somewhere, a couple of places, actually, but realized we'd be waiting in line for over an hour, so went to have Chinese food for dinner!

We went to La Cabana with the rest of L.A., but only had to wait 45 minutes. Then came home with some friends (who were also at the restaurant but not at our table since we couldn't get one together). The kids ran around like banshees, excited to stay up late, and we drank Tecates and laughed a lot. Perfect.

Fresh-made margaritas (although I had to go half and half with lime juice and sour mix because i didn't have any more limes and the stores were literally all out of them... I shoulda used a lemon), and I ate qdoba. You know, the assembly-line mexican place where they will screw up your order even if you POINT to what you want. "Black or pinto beans?" "Black (point to the tub of black beams)" *person puts pinto beans on it*

Last night, I made steak fajitas with poblano adobo seasoning, home-made quacamole, beans and fresh packed salsa from a local grocery called Busch's. And some wine I had lying around. And a popsicle. And a pony.

I recently moved from California to Boston. I was born in Boston, so it was like a 30-year late homecoming. As you might have guessed Boston has NO good Mexican restaurants AT ALL!! Cinco de Mayo is celebrated here by bars putting up some Corona banners. That's about it.

So I went to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park with some friends. On Landsdowne street, right behind the Green Monster, there is a bunch of bars. We went to one called Tequila Rain. I had a shot of Petrone. That was about as Mexican as my day got. Back in my old neighborhood in Newport Beach, however, the party was rockin' from what I was told.

I had a ood night though. I'll be celebrating Cinco de Mayo in some way for the rest of my life. Hey, any reason to celebrate a French military defeat is fine by me!
