Cinco de Mayo

While searching desperately to cook something new for the day, I read through google headlines about Cinco de Mayo festivities.

So - Cinco de Mayo cooking it was.

Lunch today -
Homemade Guacamole - *THE* yummiest ever, from fresh ripe avocados.
Vegetarian Fajita - With onions, coloured bell peppers and chickpeas(ok, the chickpeas brought in a Mediterranean twist to it, but I love chickpeas and I didn't have anyother veggies at hand.

Guacamole - or what's left of it

The filling for Fajita

Note: A common misconception is that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day (that's September 16th.) The holiday actually commemorates the Mexican army's defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. And what better excuse to celebrate some Mexican food!
