BIG STINKO FOR CINCO
As you can imagine, given our long-proclaimed adoration of All Things Sombrero, Cinco de Mayo is a big day here at Casa del Ensalada.
So we were only too glad to attend a party at Salad Boy's cooking school Friday evening.
Reason?
It was a fiesta, complete with queso, make-you-own nachos, Mexican cheesecake and ...
SOMBREROS!
We seized upon the opportunity to add to the vast and growing archive known as The Sombrero Project (and its subsequent parts (Dos, Tres, Quatro, Cinco, Seis, and Siete).
Salad Boy earned his patch for mastering Greek food. It was probably the only juvenile culinary ceremony at which a sombrero was required adornment.
And, true to every party we've ever been to where the giant hat has been deployed, people soon were clamoring to perch themselves beneath its regal brim.
This is Amy, who owns and operates the academy.
Her first reaction when asked to strike a sombrero pose was to go into Arnold Schwartzenegger mode.
I now fear Amy's physicality in ways I didn't anticipate.
This next child's new name?
Eduardo Paperhands.

We're due to attend a Cinco de Mayo party this evening. Should be plenty of opportunities to shoot additional 'brero photos.
I can almost smell Part Ocho from here.
