Tales of Tacos and Temples

I don't think I've ever really celebrated Cinco de Mayo - although maybe I should. I'm slightly embarasssed to admit that I don't know why Cinco de Mayo is even a holiday, (someone, please fill me in quick before people find out!), but I can think of 2 great reasons to celebrate the 5th of May:

(1) its a great excuse to eat tacos. and let's be honest. who doesn't love a good taco?
(2) and definitely more importantly - May 5th marks the anniversary of the day I went to the temple for the first time - 4 years ago. (I might have intentionally chosen this day so that I would always remember. Sentimental much? You know it.)

So today I spent the day doing two things: remembering how much I love the temple and what a blessing it has been in my life, and really really wanting to eat tacos for dinner all day (thank you guys who work next door at SBR for initiating the craving by eating tacos in my presence).

To make a long (and frankly not very interesting) story short, at 10pm this evening I started making tacos. Not just any tacos, mind you. Lentil Tacos. I came across this recipe and have been wanting to try it for awhile. So despite the long day and late hour, I decided the tacos had to be made. Let me tell you, it was worth it. They were delicious. And nutritious. (I couldn't resist...) You should probably eat them soon. Sorry for no picture, I ate them too fast.
