Hey guys...Cinco de Mayo is coming up soon. Wouldn't it be interesting for Monk go to/ or have a Cinco de Mayo party? I will bring a lot of tequilla and the chips and salsa. Anyone else interested in coming? What do you think "Capatin Cool" will bring??? (Just thought this would be an interesting thread...we do need a pick up! )

What are u planning to bring Bubba???

I'll bring along a bowl of orange and avocado salad. Good stuff.

I'm not much of a dancer but willing to learn.
I always enjoy listening to music, thanks Bubba.

Sounds like a good plan to me...maybe it's just the thing we need.

I better go buy some sobreros...Oh I better rent a sound system so we can dance, dance, dance the night away!

I'll bring margarita mix and a pinata (can't get the accent mark over the n. d'oh.) and teach everyone the samba.

Monk would probably bring a dust-buster for all the chip crumbs.

Sounds great! Anybody else??

I make a mean taco pizza. I can cut it in ten pieces.

And I'll bring some homemade salsa.

That sounds great! I'll make some nachos (makes my mouth water just thinking about it!). I agree, a party is definitely needed around here!

I love taco pizza! I am still wondering what to make for dessert? Maybe I can try to make fried ice cream...my favorite is a molten brownie....just salivating at just the thought of it.

I would also have a toast to Stanley for all his wonderful work on Monk!

I could bring black beans and rice, tortilla shells and sausage, sour cream and soda for our non-drinkers.

Can I bring my son? He plays guitar, Spanish style.

We need a good party!

*bump* it's fast approaching! Where's this party at, I need to gas up the van, find a dog sitter, let the maintenance people know not to fertilize my rock garden and leave a forwarding phone number just in case I 'get stuck in traffic' or forget to 'take my meds' along the way.

Oh, wow---Music, Dancing, Food---be still my little heart. Count me in. I can make Chicken Quesadillas.

Meme is thinking, which is something she doesn't do often....Let me see. Six million Monk viewers/fans. I wonder if my local grocery store has two million chickens, eighteen million tortillas, five hundred thousand onions and green peppers. I better borrow my daughter's SUV and my neighbor's van, and my hubby's semi...Lots of groceries to bring home......

Meme

I LOVE quesadilla, and fajitas, and tacos, and...........

meme, ever since my son dated a gal from Mexico, (she lived with me), I seem to wrap everything I eat in a tortilla shell, including tuna.

Couldn't help but share your enthusiasm for Cinco De Mayo. I found this great playlist filled with all the hits....Tequilla, Hot Hot Hot, Macarena, La Cucaracha. Maybe you could listen at your party...?!
Enjoy.

Great music, I have several of those on records by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, Los Indios Tabajara and a few others.

Does anyone know what La Cucaracha means in English?

I believe it means The Cockroach. I could be wrong now, but I don't think so.....

Can we play that at a Monk party? It almost seems sacrilegious.

Hey...sounds like this will be the best Cinco de Mayo party ever! I do hope my neighbors don't mind!...Ah Hell...forget them...if I have over 2 million people it will be a river of Monkafiles and they would be lost in it!

Well, I think that I may have to move the party over to the fairgrounds or something...I only got 3 bathrooms and you know that Monk will want one for himself! You know that he wouldn't use a port-a-potty! He may make Natalie come back to my house to use my facilities!

I wonder if there is any container big enough for all the margaritas that we would need! I may have to make a dash to the border to get enough tequilla!

Let's party!!!!
