So I’ve already had several blog entries about Cinco de Mayo last year, and the practice runs that led up to it. I enjoyed cooking Mexican dinner so much that, even though it was the most work I’ve done, I decided to do it again.
Cinco de Mayo 2014
Pastel de Tres Leches
Saturday, April 12, 2014 – Like I said last week, I’m practicing making a Mexican dinner for Cinco de Mayo. And I needed a dessert. And tres leches cake is a traditional Mexican dessert and plays into my cake baking skills.
Mexican Dinner, Practice Run
April 5-6, 2014 – Some backstory: My friends know I’m really into cooking, that I’m a chocoholic, and that I frequently combine strange flavors. (The famous example being the burger with chocolate sauce. But that’s a story for another day.) At least 2 different friends indepdendently told me I should check out mole and learn how to make mole. (The Mexican food, not the furry animal.) So I did.
