This post title has nothing to do with anything I did or ate today. I feel ashamed that I’m not celebrating my people’s remembrance of the battle of Puebla. This is not Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16). Ha, I just found this website Mexonline for more info. I want to change my website to MonicatheMexonline… What do you think?
I didn’t make Mexican food because I needed to cook this tofu and planned on making my favorite – Tofu and Eggplant. I stir-fry it up with garlic and onions and then add TJ’s teriyaki sauce.
I LOVE this dinner.
I also planned on dessert tonight… ice cream! These were burning a hole in my pocket freezer since I bought them two days ago! That must be a record.
Salad. Beautiful salad for lunch…
PB&J for snack time. Okay, AB&J, but I still say PB&J sometimes.
Actually, Cinco de Mayo is a very special day for Ben and I. This was the night of our third date when we went to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas.
After work three years ago we drove to Las Vegas, stayed the night then went to the Grand Canyon for the day. We were just two crazy dumb kids ignorantly going to desolate locations with a stranger. 
and falling in love… 
Happy Cinco de Mayo from your friendly Mexican blogger 🙂
I’m going to make a margarita… Buenos Noches.
this page is exactly what i have been looking for! found this article bookmarked from a friend. I’ll also share it. Thanks again!
“ignorantly going to desolate locations with a stranger”- too funny! Looks like it worked out though!! And it’s a cute story to look back on 🙂
Too cute that you just up and drove to the Grand Canyon on a whim together! Ah young love 🙂
I am so happy you shared this sweet story about you and Ben. Just made my heart smile! 😉
Take care girl.
I LOVE that story of you guys! So adorable! I wish I have ever done anything that spontaneous in my life.
Cute Monica!! I am looking for and forward to some more first dates! And thirds… 😉
Ooops meant to type our first date not first meeting. 😉
Awe!! Cute pictures! That sounds like a great memory. 😉 and if it makes you feel better, I went to my BF’s house to meet him for the first time! Crazy stupid but I had a gut feeling. And it worked. 😀
awww such a sweet story!
Ha! He does look different, I didn’t even realize when I posted that.
He said a few people ate the bread and liked it. I told him I was trying to “buy” him friends at his work 🙂
Wow! Ben looks so different then! Also please share if his co-workers were thrilled about the banana bread… I’m sure you guys are their favorites now! 😀
