slo’s FRIDAY 5/5 poll - Cinco de Mayo

[slo]

Are you celebrating Cinco de Mayo today?
If yes…..How?
(multiple choice)



For Me…..We don’t do anything
My DH went out for Mexican last Saturday, so I have no desire to eat it again 6 days later.
Pretty boring Cinco de Mayo for us.

I'll throw some Tex-Mex type dishes together here at home. Making some guac, and will have some tacos or nachos. I love this stuff and eat it (too) frequently.

I could eat Mexican almost daily !!! Love it !! I will have some tonight made at home and a margarita with it while I watch the fillies run for the Lillies at Churchill !!!

 

[Dan Murphy]

No celebration here. And no Mexican food today, that I know of We do like Mexican food though, have it several times a month.

Thanks for a good week of @slo polls, Sandy. Have a great weekend, weather sounds good.

We don’t celebrate and I actually like very little Mexican food. But with that being said I need a dinner idea for tonight so I just might make some tacos (nothing fancy - just the Old El Paso taco kit). I love nachos but never make them. I just usually get them at a restaurant.

We had Mexican earlier this week, so just a normal day for us. Actually, it was Peruvian which is very similar, at least where we order from. It is sooooooooo good.

I am making carne asada for dinner and the neighbors will come over for margaritas on the porch! Fun time for all!

 

[Meriweather]

We do not celebrate it.
We drive home today, so no Mexican food.
We do love Mexican food though and something several times a week

Sadly, this is not a celebrated day for us. (it used to be)

Our dear friends and neighbors lost their 2.5 year old daughter on May 5th. She had ATRT, a very fast growing brain tumor (she was a very happy and normal little girl until 24 hours prior to her death.) To say everyone was blindsided would be an understatement. This will now always be a somber day for us.

I am making shredded chicken to use in enchiladas today, but we’ll have that tomorrow. Tonight is my son’s senior prom. One of the parents in his group of friends is having a parents party after they leave for prom. Should be fun!

 

[Praying Colonel]

We're making quesadillas at home, but it's a coincidence.

 

[Skywalker3]

We dont' do anything for it, but maybe we'll pick up food from our favorite place this weekend. We tend never to go out on 'holidays,' or weekend nights, in general, just too crowded.
DD and her friends are going to the Taylor Swift concert tonight, so that's enough craziness. (and it'll be raining!!!) hope for safe travels there and back. Don't like driving on these types of holidays either

Generally, we do like Mexican food, but we let the rest of the neighborhood celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

We are planning on eating out at a local Mexican restaurant tonight, kind of by accident. My parents are coming down tonight, and we usually go to that restaurant when they are in town. Since it is Cinco de Mayo, we will try to get there a bit earlier than we normally do.

 

[fly girl]

I am so sorry.

Thank you.

Same here.

I'm not opposed to good Mexican food, but probably nothing tonight.

 

[mumto3girls]

Not this year. When our hockey team is in the playoffs we host viewing parties in our driveway with the neighbors. Sometimes the parties are themed keep things interesting Many years we have had a Cinco de Mayo themed one. Lots of fun. Our team didn’t make the playoffs this year so no hockey parties. Our daughter is graduating college tomorrow so we are headed there later today and have a dinner scheduled but I don’t think it is Mexican.

 

[kdonnel]

We eat Mexican often as it is my mother in laws favorite out to eat food.

As a result I am not going to wait an hour or more to get seated on Cico de Mayo. We will eat somewhere other than a Mexican restaurant today.

I always thought it was a made up American Mexican restaurant drinking holiday until a couple years ago when I looked up if it was a real holiday anywhere other than America.

It is only celebrated in the State of Puebla, Mexico.

Turns out it is a celebration of a win by the Mexican army against France in the Battle of Puebla. A battle that France avenged a year later.
