Yes my friends, the countdown to Cinco de Mayo is on. We are now just two yes count them two days away from the big day. So it's now 'officially' okey-dokey to commence the eating of tacos. Or burritos. Or enchiladas. Or tostadas. Or tamales. You should be able to catch my drift by now. Cinco de Mayo is modestly celebrated in Mexico. The day marks an anniversary of the Mexican army defeating a French army in the 'battle of Puebla'. The French came back later and defeated the Mexicans and took over Mexico for a while. Cinco de Mayo is a much bigger celebration in the U.S. of A. and that is due largely to the profitability of celebrating Mexican food. If the day were just any ordinary day, well, Mexican Americans and Mexican restaurant owners wouldn't stand a prayer. I do like me some tacos al pastor. Well and enchiladas. Burritos too. Tamales are pretty darn tasty but the best tamales happen around Christmas time. That is a for real Mexican tradition. For me, it's a tradition to get some Mexican food just about anytime the mood strikes. Around these here parts, there are any number of fine Mexican restaurant. Not so many good Chinese restaurants. Not that I've been able to find. To be quite specific here, the very best Chinese restaurant I've ever found was in Spokane, Washington. Go figure. Anyway the dummies in Spokane tore the Chinese restaurant down to make way for some stupid crap building and we moved from Spokane just to make a point and protest their tearing down a perfectly good Chinese restaurant. Whoopsies...I digress. Cinco de Mayo is coming up and damn soon. Have yourselves a taco with all the necessary taco ingredients. DO NOT get tacos from Taco Bell or Del Taco or any of a number of Amerikan sourced "alleged" tacos and/or whatever. Those Mexican food items are all fake. Damn insulting too by way of gastronomic credibility. So now it's time for the machine art. No Cinco de Mayo inference may be inferred. :]
