CowgirlsFan Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Not for me! Too many rounds of tonsiiitus made me a mouth breather! Fighting bronchitis today will celebrate with a To Go order from On the Border.
Chef Jim Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 I'm celebrating today by making............chicken curry with cous cous and preserved lemon. I did just eat a tortilla however.

snafu Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 One way to celebrate Is that finally a photo of your dinner party guest? (sorry, someone had to do it)
CowgirlsFan Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) No Mexican for me. "Come on man" at least have some avocado! Great good fat and one way to participate! Edited May 5, 2013 by CowgirlsFan
bbb Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 My grandmother was born and raised in Mexico and I never once heard of Cinco de Mayo until about 15 years ago.

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 My grandmother was born and raised in Mexico and I never once heard of Cinco de Mayo until about 15 years ago. What region was she born and raised in? Cinco de Mayo (Battle of Puebla) is a regional holiday and gained prominance with the American west portion that once was Mexico... Unlike the 16th of September (Mexican Independence Day). I suppose it can be like Dyngus Day... Ask Polish people right from Poland and they probably never heard of it. Now, ask a guy on the East Side of BFLO... LoL... Or in of all places: South Bend, Indiana and you will get a whole another reaction.

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 She was born and raised in Mexico City. I don't know what region that is considered. Interesting... My sister inlaw is from Mexico (not Mexico City)... BUT I do sense a cultural divide between say the Mexico City "culture" region and say the border areas... I guess kinda like any country... Cinco de Mayo does have to do with the French, not Spanish.
bbb Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I honestly don't think it was such a big deal until Americans needed a reason to party in early May. From what I've heard, St. Pat's Day is more of a religious day, like Christmas, in Ireland. Dyngus Day - I don't even know if anybody in Poland knows what that is!
