BLOCHO'S TACOS

May is off to a great start. Sunshine. In honor of May Day, I think it is of utmost importance to highlight some great things about May. According to Big Daddy's , May is National Burger Month! Makes sense that the month that welcomes in summer with memorial Day Weekend BBQs should be devoted to the infamous hamburger. This got me thinking...what else is May?

I usually do not like celebrating my birthday.  Lots of fuss for just a day and then everything goes back to normal.  I often find them disappointing.  Plus, who wants to get older?  However, I love celebrating other people's birthdays and making them feel super special.  One of my dad's memorable birthdays was a few years back.  We had dinner with his mom and his dear friends from business school (who have daughters the same age as my sister and me!) and we ate at the late Mesa Grill, a Bobby Flay favorite. My dad's birthday "cake" My dad was so happy and loved the degree to which we celebrated.  Nothing over-the-top.  Good people, good food, happy times. Admiring our "Happy Birthday" ...
