Cinco de Mayo 2010: Start planning now!
You may have noticed a few lines at your favorite Mexican eatery on Tuesday night, as Americans have realized that they have a golden opportunity to take another low-level ethnic holiday barely noticed in its nation of origin and turn it into a great excuse to eat and drink!
Yes indeedy, Cinco de Mayo is well on its way to becoming the St. Patrick’s Day of late spring… Is this a great country, or what?
My family decided to get in on the fun at our favorite Tex-Mex haunt, Los Tres Amigos in Kettering. I’ve blogged about it before, and probably will again, since we end up there fairly often. The colorful decor and big, open, well-lighted dining room always cheers me up, and the food is really quite good.
The crowd was decent, but we got there late and so didn’t have to wait. We ran into some friends and had fun keeping an eye on a couple of very, um, festive tables full of young folks.
My wife’s Shrimp Salad was excellent, and a different sort of dish. My son had the shrimp and steak fajitas, a great dish, though he didn’t feel like having the shrimp and I was happy to help with that. My Special Dinner had a little bit of this and that, and I was hungry enough to not take any of it home this time.
The margaritas were yummy, too. I’m just sayin’. Thanks to our loyal DD.
You know, it’s not too soon to start planning your very own Leadbelly Cinco de Mayo Festivities for next year!
In which case, where will you go? For that matter, where’d you go yesterday? Hungry Leadbellies want to know…
