What to Cook This Weekend
*Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo, and if thats a minor holiday in Mexico (a celebration of the 1862 victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla, in the Franco-Mexican War), its big business in the United States, an occasion to celebrate Mexican culture and naturally to cook and drink. Of course we have a collection of festive recipes for you to try.
(Jammed for time? We also put together a collection of festive and fast recipes to celebrate the day.)
Down in Louisville, Ky., it will be Derby Day more than Cinco de Mayo; it will be Derby Day wherever those who like horses and bourbon and hats and adrenaline gather to observe the most exciting two minutes in sports. Here is a collection of Derby recipes appropriate to the hours before and after the race, and of course a receipt for a mint julep, as well.
If you overindulge in those, or in a few too many margaritas, you can greet Sunday with Alison Romans recipe for a bacon, egg and cheese casserole, and then limp your way into dinner: white-bean stew with carrots, fennel and peas, say, or a one-pot spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and kale.'>>>
