When I made my silly blog post yesterday I neglected to mention that I did so have a Mohawk Valley Adventure on Tuesday: I attended the Cinco de Mayo festivities at the Ilion Elks Lodge. Unfortunately, I took no pictures, so it won’t be such a great blog post. It’s a funny thing. I went five years without putting a picture in a blog post. Now, if I don’t have a picture to add, I feel paralyzed. What’s that all about, me?
I do not often find ways to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but I have identified with the holiday ever since I made the possibly Freudian typo Cindy de Mayo. But I love Mexican food and occasionally a good Margarita, and I had to be in Ilion on Tuesday anyways, so…
The Elks offered $2 mini Margaritas and $3 tacos. You got to build your own taco, which was pretty sweet. I chose soft shell. I also opted for a full size margarita, because I loved the glass. I got Patron tequila. For one reason, another person at the bar told me it was delicious. For another, my maiden name is Vetrone, and it rhymes. I find that unassailable logic. It was, in fact, a delicious margarita. There were some good desserts too. I enjoyed a Margarita Bar, which was kind of like a lemon square, only lime.
Alas, I could not linger. I had to move on to a rehearsal for A Revolutionary Murder. (preview of coming attractions) We are giving another performance on May 16 at Morning Star Methodist Church in Ilion, at a Roast Pork dinner. I have written a different ending, so anybody who attended the first performance will still be surprised.
