Cinco de Mayo Reminiscing

Hey guys! Happy Emilyday. How are you? Are you having a good week?

My week has been pretty crazy. Work has been more stressful than usual and I’ve just been in the mood to exercise and then relax after work. I haven’t been doing much cooking, either. I suppose all of this is to explain my absence. I want to post more frequently (because I love you guys, naturally) and so I’m going to make an effort!

Anywho, today, as you all know, is Cinco de Mayo. While the official celebration for me was last night (we ordered delicious Mexican takeout that was enjoyed while watching the Bruins game), I started today off with a very appropriate breakfast featuring the leftovers:

What you have there is black beans, sautéed veggies, a corn tortilla, an egg and a whole bunch of fresh salsa. While this was technically a Mexican meal and today is technically a Mexican holiday, this breakfast totally reminded me of my trip to Costa Rica in March of 2009.

The food in Costa Rica was so fresh and simple. I think my favorite breakfast during my time there was very similar to the one I had today. Scrambled eggs, beans, corn tortillas and amazing salsa. Ahh…I wish I could go back today. :)

Well, I think I’ve probably reminisced enough. Hehe. Do you guys have any fun vacation plans? What about a favorite vacation of yours?

I would totally trade in my oats for that breakfast! YUM! France is the only different place I've been to. I want to go back so badly. No vacations planned right now...I will live through others on this one for now, but my time will come!

The breakfast sounds simple and delicious. And the trip sounds like heaven.

Costa Rica!!! I've always wanted to go there! Can't wait to hear about it! No trips for me sadly...well in July we have a long weekend planned with family in Chicago to celebrate my grandfather's 90th birthday. Does that count?
