Fun on the Web May 5 '10 Cinco de Mayo

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

This celebrates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. A regional holiday in Mexico, it has been embraced in our own melting pot kind of way; many here will explore Mexican cuisine today or enjoy old favorites. As for myself, I'm hoping for homade tamales at our local Farmers Market.
