Happy Cinco de Mayo to all my amigos who celebrate this once unknown date. Let's face it, it has become more of an American celebration than in the entire republica Mexicana! A great reason to imbibe and eat wonderful meals from South of the American border. This date commemorates the Mexicans defeating Napoleon's forces at the town of Puebla. I tend to get into the spirit of things by preparing and making enchiladas for my co-workers. I guess today we're all Mexicans at heart; ironic in a society that looks down at an amazing culture, especially most recently with the N1H1 virus. But, I digress.Cinco de Mayo is now a part of American culture that besides cheering for the red, white and blue we can start cheering for the red, white and green! And remember, going to Taco Bell does not constitute an authentic Mexican meal. Go and have a burrito; enjoy a great meal at a real Mexican restaurant; better yet, find a recipe for enchiladas or tacos or tostadas and enjoy!
"Mexicanos al grito de guerra..."
