con orgullo

in honor of cino de mayo we queued up a little latin music. i made tacos for dinner and my wife and i drank five coronita’s. my reasoning for the meal was, well, the ground beef expired yesterday (don’t tell her about that. she strongly believes there is no wiggle room to that ‘use by' date). and the 7oz coronas just happen to be because she inadvertently bought them a while ago and we had a lime.   tomorrow, my intension to commemorate the historical significance of mexico’s victory over the french at the battle of puebla in 1862. some, in the latino community, object to weto marketers spending millions to reinvent the day turning it into a drinking holiday, which further perpetuates an already damaged cultural stereotype.

{hold up… what about st. patrick’s day and the irish? or halloween and kids (of legal drinking age of course)?? and the fourth of july with all americans??? and then there’s new years eve and the entire world???? – stop the bus. i’m getting off.}  i'll remember by day and fiesta at night.  who’s up for some el tarasco or panchos? i haven’t had a dirty maggie for a while

next event: MUSIC is scheduled for may 23rd. details to follow
