Cinco de Mayo

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! I miss the days when I was young when the 5th of May brought lots of colourful crepe paper projects and good food. I would totally kill for a cheese enchilada right now or a great mole. Hell, I would kill for a taco bell burrito with mexi fries and a coke. That's how much I miss that shizzle. Of course no Mexican holiday can go by without a classic margarita or two or three. Here is a link to a recipe to the perfect margarita from Martha. Or if you a feeling a little fancy here is another fun option to get liquored up on tonight. It's a watermelon and basil margarita which I think sounds delish! 

Tomorrow is a scary day. I am taking my precious laptop to the mac technician for a fixer upper. This brings endless anxiety to me because like mechanics and dentists, I don't trust computer technicians and fear they will totally rip me off. I know, I know, you receive back in life what you project blah de blah so I will try and go in there with a positive outlook. And to be honest it needs to be done...Sam gave me the gift of a new cute green ipod yesterday and my silly laptop is so confused right now that he can't take it. I hope it's just an outpatient visit and he doesn't need to be admitted overnight. We shall see.

Anyhoo...ta ta for now. x

We are on the cusp of Easter and oh what a yummy holiday it is! I have just been to the store to stock up on hot cross buns and chocolate for my hunnybun. The sun is still shining on us so the weekend looks to be filled with fishing, beach, food and frolicking.

I know Easter isn't directly related to cupcakes but I saw this one on Martha's website today and thought it was the cutest thing ever! You can click here to get the recipe. There has been a lot of cupcake chat over the last few months. Face it, everybody loves them and they are pretty much guilt free because if their tinsy tiny size. I made some just the other week to take to a dinner party that were inspired by the famous L.A. pioneers of cupcakes, Sprinkles. You can now buy sprinkle cupcake kits at William Sonoma. They make you look like a baking genius with practically no effort at all.

On that note I hope everyone has a good good friday. I will be sure to take a picture and post it if I happen to catch and impressive snapper tomorrow!
