This morning, I went shopping with a friend--to find some outfits that will keep us cool when we head to Morocco in June. On our way out of the mall, we started talking about the fact that it's Cinco de Mayo today and we didn't have plans for celebrating it!
So, in a very impromptu fashion, we decided to make Mexican food for dinner and invite a few of our international friends. For a last minute dinner, everything ended up tasting pretty delicious--which is not to say that we didn't have a few fracasos (fails).
First, we accidentally broke a glass lid--which ruined the wonderful smelling black beans. I guess the pressure and heat was too much for the lid and so it cracked and sent slivers of glass into the black beans.
Next, some things just require more forethought than others. We tried to make guacamole, but the avocados we got at the store were not ripe enough to make guacamole. We tried to make it anyway, but it was basically a lost cause.
After dinner, a friend and I headed out to the beach to check out the supermoon. Ideally, I think we would have been able to see the difference in size better if we had gone while the moon was still raising. As it was, it started out fairly cloudy, but eventually cleared up. We had a fun time gazing at the moon, running through the water on the beach, and cartwheeling around.
For your Cinco de Mayo enjoyment, here is a video that's a parody of a Mexican soap opera called Qué hora es?.
