Let's just say that today was irregular. But I will post my recipes for my cinqo de mayo dinner:
TACOS!
Chop pork steak and fresh pineapple into bite size pieces. Toss in ancho chile powder and whole cumin with a few pinches of kosher salt. Pan fry them. Warm up some corn tortillas in a pan and serve with chopped onion and cilantro.
Margaritas!
2 oz tequila (I prefer Espolon or Leyenda del Milagro for taste and value)
1 oz cointreau
2 lemons fresh squeezed
splash of San Pelligrino aranciata for some fizz
shake with ice and serve with a salty rim!

I am leaving early tomorrow for Grand Junction, CO for my former exchange student's graduation from university. Since he has achieved an incredible amount in the past 9 years (pro cyclist, started and continues a very successful coaching business, coach of the CMU racing team, 3 years of college totally paid for by the university, straight A average), I am going to sign off for a few days. I will be prudent, but might indulge a bit. We will do some hiking while there.
