Day 126.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! If you are looking for some ideas for Mexican food tonight, you've come to the right place.

We had a party on Friday, and served crockpot fare along with some barbecued hamburgers and hotdogs. I had four crockpots in use (I borrowed two) and they did a great job at not only cooking the food, but keeping it warm through the four-hour duration.
Our theme was American Food, and I cooked the following:
It was fun to see the crockpots lined up on the countertop, and crockpotting is a terribly easy way to entertain. I was out of the kitchen hours and hours before party time, and was able to focus my attention on other things.

Clean up was a snap, too.
