Cinco de Mayo
It is the fifth of May, Cinco de Mayo, in which we commemorate the day the Mexicans, ah, held up the French for a little bit...

In celebration of which, of course, we make mayo. Dunno what to do with it, quite, as this morning's plan for dinner is that I shall make curries. Lamb curry and aubergine curry and dhal, I think.

And meantime it's a gorgeous day out there, warm and still and hazy, and I shall do a little yardwork, as I have a little yard. The chives are trying to flower, which I shall certainly not allow this early in the season. Chive-buds in the mayo, then...

As mayonnaise is a French sauce to begin with, there's a lovely irony in that. Spoils of war, perhaps?

Clearly, one should do something involving peppers, and possibly chocolate, with extra points for combining them, after the manner of Moctezuma.
