Cinco de Mayo

 Yes friends 'the' day is here. The day that tequila makers celebrate and owner/operators of Mexican restaurants everywhere across these United States of America roll in guacamole and a fresh influx of cash. Yes you can actually eat cash with the proper amount of guacamole slathered on so feast up and huzzah to Mexico for sticking it to France. Cinco de Mayo is a commemoration for the Mexican army's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla May 5, 1862 with the Mexican Army being led by Generalissimo Ignacio Zaragoza. Historical fact ... the Battle of Puebla had Mexican forces up against the "mighty" French army which by the way, was considered among the best in the world at the time. So it wasn't about Mexican't, it was about MexiCan kick Frenchies ass all the way back across the pond. Let's hear it for Ignacio Zaragoza and his determination to ship the "ranas" back home humiliated in defeat. The French general was one Major General Charles de Lorencez, also known as the Count of Lorencez, and he was way too cocky and self assured of a quick victory over the Mexicans and that was his big mistake. de Lorencez figured he was up against 'mexican'ts' and being a bit of an arrogant weenie, he led his froggies into a battle that cost him his army and career. Back home in France, Napoleon III informed de Lorencez he could hit the bricks and that was the last thing heard about Herr Général de Lorencez and so it goes all the way to today and America's almost favorite holiday right after the Super Bowl, Labor Day, Xmas, and then Memorial Day. Not necessarily in that order. We all know Cinco de Mayo is way better than a dumb ass 'super duper' bowl but don't tell Roger Goodell. That kind of news makes Goodell cry like a ratty little brat pitching a fit at the grocery store. So grab some decent Mexican grub and raise a glass of tequila, straight shot of course, to Ignacio Zaragoza, some guacamole, and chile verde enchiladas which happen to be my very favorite enchiladas. Mmmm, I can almost taste the corn chips. Los Lupes is my Cinco de Mayo house of chile verde enchiladas and you can take that to the bank. You'll probably want to just forget the bank and eat those enchiladas at Los Lupes. Now we'll roll along hungrily to Tuesday machine art and Cinco de Mayo.
