Cinco de Mayo Gringo Style

Those of us who live in a monochromatic world often lack storage space, to house all the  accoutrements needed for an authentic Cinco de Mayo fiesta.

To add a  splash of color to our pastel world  we can add  bright placemats or a runner to our table.  Throw in a wine bottle filled with bright color straw flowers and a bowl of colorful fruit and you are ready to go

Don't forget the Sangria!

 

The menu for the evening can be quite easy or as detailed as desired.   For a quick easy evening make some guacamole, add microwaved corn casserole, and use prepared tamales.
