Viva Holland!

It was glorious! I have been suffering from a severe withdraw of Tex-Mex food since our arrival in Italy, but my wife and a few of our friends remedied that problem expertly. Our friend Paul and Jen threw a Cinco de Mayo party with homemade hot sauce, margaritas, tacos with the works and spicy cheesy things for dipping chips in. Thanks to John and Margarita, I was even able to channel my inner little old Mexican lady and turned out 3 dozen homemade flour tortillas. Again, GLORIOUS! I ate so much I nearly exploded. It turns out that really what we were celebrating was Dutch Liberation Day. A friend from work, who is Dutch, also attended the party and said that we can now have twice the reason to vieren (Dutch for celebrate). Who knew? After a description of what kinds of things you eat ate a Dutch party, I decided I think I’ll stick with the fajitas…Glorious.
