Saw this online, not my doing but I love the modelling, and appropriate for today's holiday. Many of the masses don't know about why there is celebration but we here know about the Battle of Puebla … link (I hope !)  link

Why there is a celebration? To sell chips, avocados, and Corona beer, of course! |

It's actually my dog's birthday, so I tend to celebrate that instead. |

My sister's friend is having a KY Derby & Cinco de Mayo party today. Any excuse to eat & drink ! I'm all in !!!! |

A Mexican victory over the French is an excuse for Americans to get drunk. Did I get that right?  |

I read "KY Derby" as an entirely different kind of party… |
| rustymusket | 05 May 2018 8:46 a.m. PST |
An excuse to party and sell stuff is the American Way. We sell furniture and carpeting to celebrate American Holidays. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone! |

I plan to celebrate today's Mexican drinking holiday with a cold Lagunitas. Or perhaps several. Viva Mexico! Viva General Ignacio Zaragoza! |

Happy Cinco de Mayo to all! Currently cooking up a storm for our Kentucky Derby shindig: jambalaya, cheese grits, candied sweet potatoes, greens and homemade pralines with ice cream. Perhaps some beer as well. Ole! |

Enjoyed a lunchtime celebration with Mexican food! All the Mexican restaurants here are packed today. |

Celebrated the day with traditional Mexican foods. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs on the gas grill. Chips, potato salad, fruit salad and cold veggie sticks for sides. Can't get much more authentic than that?!? |

A Mexican victory over the French is an excuse for Americans to get drunk. Did I get that right? Actually the Cinco de Mayo holiday is a Mexican American holiday, not a Mexican holiday. It wasn't a big deal until Mexican beer companies began to market it to sell beer in the 1980s. It has now become more important in the Mexican American community. It's morphing into a celebration of Mexican culture in America…with Mexican food and beer. Especially in Mexican restaurants, bars and shops. So, yup, you're right! It rates right up there with St. Patrick's day. |

Currently cooking up a storm for our Kentucky Derby shindig: jambalaya, cheese grits, candied sweet potatoes, greens and homemade pralines with ice cream. Perhaps some beer as well. Now that sounds very, very, good !  At the combo Derby/Cinco De Mayo party we ate some Mexican food and watched the derby. Corona beer was in attendance as well !  It has now become more important in the Mexican American community. It's morphing into a celebration of Mexican culture in America Ole' !  So, yup, you're right! It rates right up there with St. Patrick's day. Very much agree ! I'm neither Mexican nor Irish, but that does not stop me from "embracing" the Holiday ! The closest I get is 1.5% Iberian in my DNA … All the Mexican restaurants here are packed today. Later that evening after the party, a friend & I went to a nice Mexican restaurant, IIRC, Aztec Plaza ? Was pretty good too !

"Why there is a CdM celebration? " To blot out the memories of all that 'May the 4th' silliness… ;-) |

Was at a local game store,played FoW,had a cheeseburger from Wendy's,and a root beer. Forgot the fries,though. |
