As many of you know I avidly celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It is a holiday commemorating an initial victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín over French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. For those of you who are confused it is not the celebration of Mexico's independence and it is actually celebrated more in the United States than it is in Mexico.
This holiday is known for its high intake of Guacamole being beaten only by the Supe
r Bowl in the amount consumed on this day.

I remember going to a GUACAMOLE party while we lived at Pinnacle. We celebrate our anniversary on Cinco de Mayo, so we sort of forget about that holiday. Gaucamole does sound scrum though.
