Although the historical basis of this day is Mexican, this is an American holiday.
The local gringo hangouts are doing some sort of celebration, which we are not likely to attend.
We will be eating our tuna sashimi. Not sure what else.
and I'll probably make a veggie fried rice to go with. I'll skip the Cinco de Mayo stuff this year, seeing that it's always 05 May in SoCal. 
Woke up craving, craving, craving and held off 'till 9. Then went with a friend across town to a local breakfast, lunch & dinner diner. They grind their meat on-site. Really good.
I have some red leaf and oak leaf lettuce that needs picking, so maybe a fruit salad with cheese and crackers. 
to find a place that did its own burgers and to no avail.
That is a rare find indeed.
I quit having burgers out. Instead, I make my own patties. I'd love to be able to go out for a burger and I sometimes do, but it's knowing full well that what I'm being served was a frozen patty.
