Okay, everyone - Cinco de Mayo is fast approaching - plans? food? celebrations?
The website of Zarela Martinez, the unequivocal deva of traditional Mexican food, has some awesome ideas for celebrating the day.

I'm doing a party for 8, with HDs of tequila/cherry tomato shooters, mini-crab cakes with chipotle cream, stuffed quail eggs el diablo; appy is wild mushroom/pepper jack cheese ravioli with a fire-roasted onion couli; salad is a Texas cesar salad with smoked duck breast (thanks, Dean!); main is pecan-crusted pork tenderloins stuffed with chard/manchego cheese, with a poblano cream, and jicama slaw; mini-red/white/yellow/blue tortillas; and a Oaxacan chocolate torte for dessert.
This is absolutely my favorite food - I can't wait to start!!!!!!
