Doing Anything For Cinco de Mayo?

NoelSeven — Tue, 06 May 2014 00:25:41 GMT

I'm looking forward to this evening

I have a tablecloth out with a design you often see for Cinco de Mayo parties, turquoise Fiesta plates, and pink and orange serving bowls.

Coronas for anyone who wants one, and light Mexican themed food: lettuce wrap or tortilla wrap tacos, corn, lime, black bean, grape tomato and avocado salad, and individual dip servings with tortilla chips.

I'm not doing anything, wish I could celebrate with you Noel, it sounds wonderful! I love Mexican food and we always had big celebrations of Cinco de Mayo when I lived in Denver. I have some beautiful Margarita glasses that never get used, but that layered dip in them is an awesome entertaining idea. I also have a salsa bowl shaped like a red chili pepper and the green stem is the spoon, it's cute. If I could make it over I would wear my Sombrero I got in Mexico (black and silver, beaded and fabulous) and a six-pack of Coronas. Enjoy your fiesta sweet friend!!!!!

Now I am craving a Margarita.... I might go over to this local little Mexican place that has the best cilantro salsa and lime margaritas....I'm sure they have specials since it is Cinco de Mayo afterall.

I went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch and had tacos for dinner tonight. It wasn't planned that way.....just happened. No margaritas for me though (I don't drink anyway).

No. There was a big parade and celebration this past Saturday, but it was cold and rainy, so I stayed at home.

We beat the crowd and went to our favorite local Mexican spot last night. Have fun, Noel.

If I could, I'd pass one of the Margarita dip glasses to you, deep I have them made and in the frig, ready to go.

And I'd bring as many limes as I could afford.

Thanks, tansy That's a good idea. The restaurants are bound to be really crowded today.

If nothing else, there's got to be party theme music on youtube

Hi Jules

I see you and I have collecting in common. I have theme table pieces, too. A napkin holder that's a cactus, and several others I'll be dragging out of hiding in a few minutes.

Go for it, girl! Go to that little place and have yourself a Margarita or two! You certainly deserve it

Off to set the table...

That's what we're going to do tomorrow, tansy. But I'd rather go to NoelSeven's!

Yesterday I went to Old Town. It was so crowded

Today I'm relaxing at home with a glass of red wine. I think I prefer being at home

Your plans sound wonderful, Noel! We've been so busy, I almost forgot what day it is. I'm making huevos rancheros. But without any special drinks or desserts, like I've done in past years.
