Cinco De Drinko, and other epic-ness

CINCO de DRINKO

Last night was our Cinco de Mayo celebration. We invited a handful of people or so over and had a lovely evening. One full of Tequila, Food, Fun, and Joy. There were no overly-drunk events, no major drama, no tears. I made Cafe-Rio Pulled Pork, which was lovely and a huge success. Ally made homemade tortillas and fried ice cream. There was epic amounts of food, copious amounts of liquor, and an abundance of love and friends. All wrapped up nicely with a bow... of sorts... not really. Lol, but still, a good night with happy endings all around I believe.

NEW JOB
I'm working now at Caffe Cafe on Harrison. It's an extension of the coffee shop in the Newgate Mall, but is its own location, and features a full menu of DELISH food. Sandwiches, soup, wraps, salads, AND a full selection of fresh baked goods. Our owner bakes DELICIOUS cupcakes in yummy flavors (today we featured Chai Latte, Strawberries & Champagne, and Pina Colada). I'm really excited about working here, I'm loving learning about the coffee/espresso drinks, and making espresso is too fun. And the people are fun. And even though my manager is a little high-strung and scattered, she's the kindof person who recognizes someone who is willing to work and learn and I feel like after only two days of work she's really trusting of me. She was trusting me on the register my first day, without any supervision really at all. And its nice to work somewhere that when it is slow, it doesnt matter because I'm still making money by the hour. I'll still be at Corbin's through the summer, but as the semester gets closer I'll probably have to cut one or the other way back or out completely.




Okay- more Cinco Photos, just a few. Last night was too good. I want to put it on repeat:


ps- i stole all these pictures from Shelby, she posted them on the facebook. :P
