Cinco de Mayo
by haley sherif
How did you celebrate Cinco de Mayo yesterday? I decided to have a girls night in. We had planned to celebrate at a fun Mexican restaurant like Dos Caminos, but found that every place was completely booked. Since everywhere in New York seems to be insane on Cinco de Mayo anyway, having a night in was completely fine for us. It’s nice to not feel the need to be dressed up all the time, but be super casual and fresh faced which is just as chic sometimes.
3 avocados
1 jalepeno (don’t use all of it and chop very finely)
1 clove of garlic (also chopped very finely)
(I choose not to add onions, but add up to one small onion)
lime juice
2 small tomatoes
salt, pepper, lemon, & lime added throughout
I had just planned for us to order in, but after a day outside walking, shopping, and running errands, I felt inspired to try my hand at making homemade guacamole. I figured it couldn’t be too difficult and it was the perfect time to bond with my younger brother, he was a huge help! With Skinny Girl Margarita and guac in tow I knew it was going to be a fun celebration, but low key celebration and it was. Feliz Cinco de Mayo! xo
