I don’t think I can eat all those great recipes on Cinco de Mayo. I’ll just have to pick one and make believe it’s Cinco de Mayo the rest of the month and then some. I love to cook and get the best recipes from your site. At 75 year I live alone but I won’t starve if I keep watching your web site. Thanks for the recipes. DAN (norwoodian)
