Not working that day?... invite a few friends over for lunch… I have lots of menu ideas for that…. soup and a salad… and a little dessert… add a Margarita to it… and you have a great little celebration…
What could be better… a day off… an afternoon with good friends and good food… after all… Cinco de Mayo is all about fun and food.
Setting the Mood
Even a small informal lunch with friends can be festive… and not expensive… set the mood with the table… use a bright colored tablecloth or placemats… each place mat can be a different color… pick a bright color that matches all of them… and buy inexpensive paper napkins… you can find them at party supply stores or even Walmart.
Make a quick centerpiece … use a clay pot and buy a cactus… or… find a small sombrero and put that in the middle of the table. Or even make a unique topiary ….
The brightly colored topiary in the photo above is from Craftstylish … very inexpensive and easy to make… check out their website for easy step by step instructions by Jeffrey Rudell.
