Feliz Cinco de Mayo

TWIT would like to wish everyone a happy Cinco de Mayo.  The 'Rents and I just got home from celebrating at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Pina Fiesta.  Once again, they treated us like VIPs.  

It's not too late to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, faithful readers, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than to have tacos.  

We all love tacos, and we all make a mess while eating tacos.  Mainly, because we tilt our heads when we try to eat them, or because we make a mess when we try to fill them up.  On way to fill them up without a mess it to stick the inner tines on a fork in the end of a hard taco shell.  It will sit up straight while you fill it up. Here's a picture to show what I'm talking about. 

Another tip is to help keep the taco shells from cracking.  Line an oven-proof plate with a damp paper towel and top with up to six taco shells. Put the plate in the oven and bake the shells. The steam caused by the damp paper towel will make the shells more flexible as they cook—and they'll be less likely to break.
