Okay, I know that I am a day early however any holiday dedicated toward liquor and eating tacos/burritos and/or nachos ('cause I love'em all) is a cause for celebration! I'll be spending my Cinco de Mayo at the Curbside Cookoff sponsored by the DC Food Truck Association. Thereafter, I'm going to lay my sombrero down at Queen Makeda whereby I will partake of $5 liquor and free tacos! It'll be bittersweet because my pal Reggie (owner of Queen Makeda) will be closing down shop for renovations and reopening in a new location- Congrats Reggie! In the meantime Cupcake Lovers, here's a cool recipe from Endless Simmer for your own Cinco de Mayo celebration. Enjoy!!

2 eggs
1/2 c buttermilk

Whisk together eggs, buttermilk, beer, lime zest, and honey in a large bowl.
