EASY DOES IT
In November, my buddy Rommie and I did a little thing we called Easy Bake Thanksgiving. We had a blast making turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole and yams. You name it, we had it. It wasn't always appetizing, but we committed to the task.
As a follow-up, we're going to bust out a new oven today for Easy Bake Cinco de Mayo. (I found a fancy model at Goodwill for $3.)
We're going to try to do mini tacos, nachos and quesadillas. We'll see how it goes. We might even bust a move on a burrito. Check back this weekend for photos.
This being the unofficial feast day of the sombrero, I have to do it up right. (You can read about the genesis of this blog's fascination with the flamboyant headgear by clicking here and by clicking here.) I'm making a huge pot of black beans and am bringing the rice cooker to work.
I'll also be attempting to set a new world record for number of Sombrero Project photos taken in one day. I'll have to stretch ahead of time for this one. I wouldn't want to pull a groin muscle or anything.
You can view The Sombrero Project (and its subsequent parts (Dos, Tres and Quatro and Cinco and Seis).
Had I known, I would have totally brought you guys some queso.
Cinco De Mayo is my brother's birthday.How crushed he was when he discovered that people all over TX weren't celebrating HIS BIRTHDAY with margaritas.
