Blog 5
After waking up this morning and doing my usual morning routines, I thought about it being Cinco de Mayo day. Generally I’d go someplace for a margarita or two (buy one get one during happy hour) at a local Mexican Restaurant where they give free fresh salsa and chips. I’ll usually get the medium salsa then a hot on my second go around. Sometimes I buy salsa from there to take home. After the margaritas I’d order a Dos Equis beer from the tap. I realize even though this place is now opened (Phase I) as of yesterday I’d rather not venture out. I have margarita mix at home and bottle of tequila if I want to make a margarita but really would enjoy a Dos Equis which means I’d have to leave the house and go to ABC Liquors. I thought of this while having my coffee. My decision was to stay home, have salsa and chips (which I already have) or the salsa with the chili flavored Fritos which I actually picked by accident on a good run.
The weird holiday websites listed today as not only Cinco de Mayo but Oyster Day and National Hoagie Day. I decided it be funny to pen the piece on having food choices. They do ring true for me as I’m not an oyster person. As for much of the Tex-Mex food I’m a fan of tacos, quesadillas, taco salad, salsa and chips, guacamole or
frittatas. Given a choice on which of the three food choices in the verse I’d be picking the hoagie; an Italian one from Publix. The other thing about menu came from something I came up with long ago. It was a spur of the moment verbal verse and I rattled off something similar. It came back to me about 2:00am this morning so I wrote it down. As I’ve said before I keep close at hand on night stand something to make notes during the night.
The wacky holidays sure have been inspirational in finding things from which to write at times; or just give ideas.
Until next time....if celebrating Cinco de Mayo have fun and keep your distance.
Cinco de Mayo today....should I celebrate or
not....if so how?
Perhaps chips and salsa....chili
Fritos....margaritas....a plan
I’d like a beer but NOT CORONA....perhaps
Dos Equis....ABC run it is today

What to eat.....what to eat
On this fifth of May
Frittatas, burritos or tacos
Would surely be okay
But wacky holidays website
Lists it’s National Hoagie day
Perhaps a cheesesteak or a turkey
Which one do you say?
Oysters too are being celebrated
Do I want them for a meal?
No way can I think about eating them
They are slimy like an eel
So many choices for food today
I cannot make up my mind
It’s Cinco de Mayo so tacos it is
And a few margaritas will be just fine
