We did a Cinco de Mayo celebration of sorts tonight, under the assumption that independence is one of a range of conditions worthy of being honored.
We got a frozen red mole chicken dinner from TJs (never tried it before; rice gluey but kinda interesting/okay; whole dish fine), and I cooked down and pureed three cans of black beans to make refried beans (which are not fried, despite the name*). With guac as a salad, yum.
*Which otherwise might make the holiday Cinco de Fry-o?
