Happy Cinco de Mayo, the Fifth of May! Today marks the day in the U.S. to celebrate the pride and unity created by Mexico's victory over France in a battle in 1862, a glorious moment for the country.
Great food is part of the celebration, and so we are having Taco Night at our house, but with an American slant for dessert -- apple pie.
That's the great thing about America -- we borrow the wonderful tastes of other cultures and make them our own. As Brad Paisley says in his song, American Saturday Night:: You know every place has somethin' they're known for, although usually it washes up on our shore. . .
That makes us very lucky indeed.
Eliza and I are going to the Winefest and looking forward to celebrating Cinco De Maya there. Since going to graduate school in New Mexico, I have always loved celebrating the day!
