Beverage Monday
Today we are featuring Margaritas for Cinco de Mayo, which by the way is my son's birthday. He is turning 5 tomorrow. The balloon is from his last birthday party. I usually buy one since they make a 'special' balloon just for his birthday. Anyways. let's celebrate the Battle of Puebla with some great food and even better drinks.
