Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! Hope you are having a great Tuesday. The weather is gray and rainy here, but so far we are having a great day.
I wanted to think of two tips to share with you that were Cinco de Mayo related and here they are:
1)If you plan on having a mojito for Cinco de Mayo and you've ever thought of growing your own mint to go in it, I wanted to offer some tips on growing mint. It is super easy to grow, but don't make the mistake I did and plant it in the ground. Grow it in pots. It is very invasive and can be a bit much to control once it takes off. Mint doesn't require a lot of work, just stick it the pot and keep it watered well during those hot summer months. It is great not only for mojitos, but for also adding a little zip to your ice tea.
2)If you are making guacamole for Cinco de Mayo and don't want it to turn brown, add a touch of lemon juice to it. I saw this tip on the Food Network a while back.
So, hope you are having a great Cinco de Mayo and enjoy these two tips for this Tuesday.
I love mint and grow mine in pots like you do. I didn't know if mine would come back after all of the cold we had this winter, but it did.
ReplyDeleteI completely let Cinco de Mayo go by unnoticed and my daughter was very disappointed. I will have to do better next year.
