May the 5th, 2013. The day after the Kentucky Derby. Cinco de Mayo day. And, the first anniversary of the passing of my friend Jan Taylor.
We started the day with close friends over a light breakfast of Panera Bread food...I wore my Lilly Ricci shift in the 'Glam Toile' print, with white Bonanno sandals, and my Bosom Buddy Bag.
This was a day that we celebrated the memory of Jan and did the things she loved the most!
A toast to Jan Tay!!!
Later we ate again...Brunch food at the Clubhouse.
This was my feast before "Detox Monday" rolled around!
Later that evening...a Cinco de Mayo Supper.
My idea of celebrating Cinco de Mayo...a cute tablescape,
with cute adirondack chair napkin rings...
An umbrella in my drink...
and a Publix-bought, frozen margarita mix, served in a monogrammed goblet! Hola y'all!
Chips with fresh salsa...
Fish Tacos! Y'all know I love Fish Tacos and these were easy.*
Recipe for Fish Tacos: {I found this recipe on the internet}
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes, drained with liquid reserved
1/2 cup sour cream
3 cups tri-color coleslaw mix
1 1/2 lbs tilapa, thawed
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1 tblsp oil
Corn tortillas
Mix the sour cream with 1/2 of the Rotel liquid. Stir and set aside. Mix the coleslaw with the Rotel tomatoes and the remainder of the Rotel liquid. Mix well and set aside.
Sprinkle the fish with cumin and salt and heat in a skillet over med-high heat. Place the cooked fish on paper towels to drain and then flake. Serve on a tortilla with the slaw mix and sour cream dressing.
Needless to say, after the party weekend I enjoyed, Detox Monday was a shock to my system! Now, I working out double-time to try to lose the calories I consumed over the weekend!
