No, I did not plan a special menu for Cinco de Mayo and yes, this week's menu is me being particularly whimsical. The stores and farm stands are full of spring produce (and the tail end of winter veggies) and I felt particularly inspired while planning the menu, despite L. sharing his disapproval of the gimmick. We have retired our usual template for the week and will be living Rainbow Week here in Pity Party land. Join us for our produce party.
