So, the first official day of spring was March 20th. However, Albuquerque is not sure what season it wants to be in. In the past week we have had snow, rain, extreme desert winds, and the most gorgeous sunny weather. If you don't like the weather, don't worry, it will be different tomorrow! Here are some snapshots from around our neighborhood...
The begining of Spring for me means...my birthday! This weekend we celebrated with all of our new friends by having a fiesta! We had fajitas, margaritas, and of course a pinata! Which brings me to my latest Albuquerque favorite...Casa de Pinata. The owner of Casa de Pinata is the sweetest man who grew up in Mexico and has been in the Pinata business forever. He let my friend and I look at all the pinatas being made, gave us a history lesson on how the pinata originated, and made me a beautiful pinata by the next morning! Apparently, you are supposed to place orders weeks in advance and he can make ANYTHING into a pinata. If you are in "the Q" this is THE place for pinatas.
Sunday was my actual date of birth, so my sweet husband took me to brunch at
Zinc. The food was wonderful, they had a live guitar player and brunch was very reasonably priced! We will definately go to Zinc again...hopefully soon!
