While Cinco de Mayo has limited significance nationwide in Mexico, the date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. A common misconception in the United States is that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day, which actually is September 16 (dieciséis de septiembre in Spanish),the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico. -Wikipedia
More importantly, Cinco de Mayo gave Becca and me an excuse to throw a little party in the house that we just moved into. We cooked and cleaned and slaved away and ended up with a rather good group of friends at the house. The house has never looked so good...even if we did hide a lot of stuff in order for it to look that way.
The best part of the party (besides the company) was the food! It was so delicious. Becca and Nicole (our resident Mexican) tried to make sure everything was fresh and authentic. The quesadillas, guacamole, pico de gallo, tres leches... everything was so delicious. We had a pinata. We had maracas. We had music. And we had Nacho Libre. Supposedly, this is a funny movie.
Over all, a grand success. The only problem - no leftovers.
I'm so glad it was a success for you. Remember Cinco de Mayo 3 yrs ago? lol K.C. wasn't able to get out of the academy so I ended up spending my anniversary alone with my girls. Oh well there's next year! Love ya cuz!
