Happy Cinco de Mayo, Cal! Fun to read this thread. We actually had a Peruvian dish tonight (being that my wife is Peruvian). Stay safe and hopefully, the situation is much better worldwide in 2022.
The time has come upon us once again.
On the way home I grabbed a bottle of Tequila to pour all over the Margarita machine and also grabbed some hard taco shells.
Both of which I do but once a year.
Time to start prepping for the arrival of the Mrs.
If you don't hear from me for a few days...
...you know what happened.
Cheers everyone.

I love Cinco de Mayo. Unfortunately I had oral surgery this morning so no celebrations for me. In fact, I'm still a bit groggy from the Xylocaine.
Gee Cal, can we make the Tequila shots and Gosling’s Black Seal Dark and Stormys more than just an annual event?
In any case, it’s about half an hour from the time of this writing ‘til Happy Hour on the Wet Coast, so cheers.

Don't forget as well San Jacinto where the mexicans were repeled too 26 years before ! I fear for the Quebec, poor french, lol !
Once again the day is upon us. I have been up for hours getting things ready for dinner.
Enjoy everyone.
Enjoy everyone.
I actually went to the Jeffersonville IN Cinco de Mayo fest Sunday at the city outdoor venue. I had visions of guitars and trumpets, mariachis in black suits with chrome accents, mujeres in long dresses dancing and throwing the folds around, Like my father & I attended in Houston 2 years before his end. He landed & dispatched airplanes in 1942-3 in Guatamala, and had fond memories of a certain bar with cervesa. Probably memories of certain chicas linda, also. To the park I wore my camionero loco hat I bought in San Antonio. It is white straw, has a brim all the way around, and no Cat logo. I drove moving vans during the post VietNam recession since my new Physics degree was not good for anything that paid a wage.
What I found at the venue was one guy playing south Asian music on a keyboard, one food truck with chilies painted on the sides and one food truck with fruit ices. One latin looking couple bought Ices for their two preschool girls. As i prefer the lard corn beans & rice of good Tex-Mex food and never put the chilies from the red or green bottles on them, I passed on the food truck. I get great Tex-Mex food at San Pedro restaurant in Charlestown, once a week in summer. They recently added pepper to the salsa for the rest of the customers, but will bring me out a bowl of the tomatoes without the pepper dust if I ask for it. Pity I could not reach the Louisvlle Cinco de Mayo fest at 4th St live, but it was too far from my Sunday AM gig in Otisco to get there on a bicycle by closing time. Maybe next year Cinco de Mayo will be on a Monday that I usually spend in Jeff mowing my lawn.
