Happy Cinco de Mayo.
Will you be eating anything special today to celebrate this traditional holiday?
I have a pot of pinto beans that I have soaked over night and I will be cooling some beef and making burritos for our dinner tonight. I really dig my home made burritos and could eat them every day, but I don't Don't worry, pics WILL follow once I have everything made and plated.
I grew up in L.A. and had a number of Hispanic friends who introduced me to this fabulous cuisine (via their MOM's cooking). I was a bit of a brat when I was younger and would always weasel myself an invitation to dinner at friend's homes where "different" styles of cooking took place.
I had a line that I would tell my friend's mom during dinner that would ALWAYS get me an invitation back to dinner every time I visited.
I would say: "WOW Mrs xxxx I wish my mom could cook as good as you can"
Worked every time
My mom always wondered why other people were giving her recipes. I never told her this as I am sure I would not be alive today to relate this to you had she found out about it.
