    Cinco de Mayo 2026

    Today, I decided to celebrate Cinco de Mayo all day via my food choices.

    Breakfast was one of my faves – avocado toast with salsa
    Lunch out with my sister in law, who also winters in south Texas – Quesadillas de Pollo. That’s not tequila by the way … it’s just ice water with a lemon in it. In hindsight, I should have requested a lime
    Dinner I prepared for hubs and me – Pork Carnitas with Guacamole, Salsa,
    and Sour Cream

    “More popular in the United States than in Mexico,Cinco de Mayo has become associated with the celebration of Mexican-American culture.” (From Wikipedia)

    Because we live half of our retirement lives in South Texas, in an area with a significant Mexican American population, I feel pulled towards celebrating the culture too. In my world (as a foodie), food is a key element of every culture.

  • Ahhh … Back to Mexico

    Ahhh … Back to Mexico

    This week, we’ve been going over to Mexico for dental appointments.

    It’s only a 20 minute drive from our home.

    My favourite part of this is that we can once more enjoy authentic Mexican food. We didn’t get across once last winter, so now we’re making up for lost time.

    I had some problems with my feature photo because of the shadows cast on the plate. I’ll be sure to avoid that next time.

    Each of us ordered our fave dish : enchiladas for hubs and chile relleno for me.

    We forgot that we could order one dish, split it, and easily have enough food for lunch.

    Practise makes better.
