Cinco de Mayo Fun

We always have fun with Cinco de Mayo, some years we go out

to eat with friends, some years we have a Fiesta at our house for

friends, some years it is just the three of us. This year was just us..

not so much a Fiesta, as "taco night",lol. We have tacos every week here

in our corner of the Garden State. Farmer Dad loves, no, make that LOVES tacos! I make them with meat, and "fake" meat.They both prefer meat, I prefer "fake" meat.

I vary it, so they don't notice so much.

Either way, I "hide" veg inside the tacos. See the tacky packets of "hot sauce" from a greasy food chain? He HAS to have it on his tacos. I have made my own..not what he wants.

I pick my battles. ;-)

Princess helped set the table (I was going for the colors in the Mexican flag, she though very multi-colored was better for our Fiesta)

I let her just go for it when she helps set the table, I try not to say.."that doesn't go", or "not those napkins.." You might notice I give Farmer Dad a "platter" with his tacos made up, Princess gets the supplies for two tacos on her plate. I find I can get two meals out of the meat this way. He would cram the shell full of meat, he is not hungry after I make them, so I don't think he needs all that meat at one sitting. We're not getting any younger, so I try to watch his eating habits a bit more.Princess likes to "make her own", and will eat it all if I let her, if I make them, she just "picks". We had a nice dinner after a nice day spent watching Baby "X-man" for a little while. He had fun hanging out with his cousin Princess.He really likes when she sings to him.
