Happy Cinco De Mayo Love Muffins!

cinco_de_mayo_040509_02

Yes, love muffins, it’s that time of year again to round up a few friends, make a nice, big pitcher of shut your mouth potion, gather up the guacamole and tortilla chips, and have a good old time. Giving y’all a little history, the day actually commemorates Mexico’s defeat of the French army at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1892 (thanks, Wikipedia). This day is not to be confused with Mexico’s Independence Day on September 16 – the most important national patriotic day in Mexico.

Got any festivities planned for the evening? Any love muffins heading up to Spanish Kitchen on La Cienega Blvd. or Fiesta Cantina on Santa Monica Blvd. to celebrate?
