Today is my 22nd wedding anniversary! Woot Woot, We'll be dining at Storytellers at Grand Calif. and doing the Fantasmic Dessert seating tonight!
Here is a little Happy Cinco de Mayo history lesson for you all:
History Lesson
Most people don't know that back in 1912. Hellmann's Mayonnaise was
manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of
the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to
be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.
This would have been the largest single shipment delivered to Mexico.
But, as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit
an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.
The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly
awaiting its delivery; were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was
so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they
still observe to this day.
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known,
of course, as "Sinko de Mayo".
