The Hilton Sisters pulled a double date for the Cinco De Mayo Party. Looks like they where shut out of New York's High society party last night, by Ms Anna Wintour, they had to settle for a less glamorous party.

May Day / Cinco de Mayo celebration in Minneapolis a hit
2008-05-06 07:39:00
Perfect Weather as Minneapolis celebrates May Day and Cinco de MayoThe annual parade to Powderhorn Park was a big hit this year, the weather was perfect, the floats and marchers were festive and lively, and several prominent Democrats walked the route including U.S. Senate candidate Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak who led a "Minnesota for Obama" contingent prior to the Heart of the Beast puppet theater's magical season-welcoming festival.It seems Minnesota may be more culturally and ethnically open-minded than some folks on the coast give it credit for. They elected Keith Ellison to U.S. Congress, the first Muslim ever to be so honored, and even at the local level they've elected Satveer Chaudhary, and they surprised pollsters and pundits on Super Tuesday by showing overwhelming support for Barack Obama's candidacy - and lately their female U.S. Senator has announced she's in Obama's corner, too. Maybe they're not as loony as the country thought they mi...

Cinco de Tefft
2008-05-06 02:20:00
Today, on the 5th of May, we celebrate the Mexican victory over the Americans at the Alamo in 1836.   Once again, Tefft was put in charge of handling the festivities for our Cinco de Mayo office party. For some reason, she is under the impression that the Mexicans celebrate this day to remember the Alamo,  the one and only time they kicked American ass. Granted, we kicked their ass back to Mexico shortly thereafter, but that's why we celebrate the 5th with them. Just to show them there are no hard feelings. Okay, I'm the one who told her that Cinco de Mayo was all about the Alamo. But she asked. Sure, it's really about the Battle of Puebla against the French in 1862. But she wouldn't get it even if I gave her the right version. Tefft needs something she can understand. And since she's seen multiple versions of The Alamo, I knew she'd get the concept and make a party of it. I mean, there's a ton more Indians than Mexicans where I work. So who really cares?Well, ...

Guess where I am? NOT AT WORK. I showed up this morning ready to start off the day on the right foot. I even came prepared wearing my Valentino Rock ?N Rose perfume. Normally I wear that on dates, but I needed a scent that lifted my spirits. I wore a pair of black trousers; a green wrap around shirt and black heels from Aldo (FYI their shoes suck) with my sterling silver Tiffany dog tag engraved ?Miss Bitch? (I faced the engraved side towards me so no one could read it) I looked cute.I arrived at 9:10 because I didn?t start until 9:30 and the moment I walked in the door country music was blearing. I needed something to calm me down, so I went in to the break room and prepared a peppermint tea for myself. I asked my boss for my benefit information (specifically my 401K) which was not there on Friday. She seemed aggravated and agitated that I had the nerve to ask for it (probably because she still didn?t have it). So, I began asking her general questions about vesting and company matc...

Happy Cinco de Mayo
2008-05-05 21:09:00
What you know about Cinco de May is only half the story. It is also known as the great mayonnaise mess. 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 of mayonnaise ever 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. Fooled ya! Cinco de Mayo is often mistaken...

Cinco de Mayo and My Weekend
2008-05-05 17:16:00
For those of you that do (or don't!) celebrate Cinco de Mayo, have a great day filled with plenty of amazing food, drinks, family and friends.FYI: Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of the victory of the Mexican army over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.As far as my weekend, I slept through most of it. I felt so horribly sluggish this weekend that I was starting to wonder if I came down with a bug. Get this. I slept from 1:30 am on Saturday morning until 9:30 am. Then I took an hour nap around 1pm. THEN I took another nap around 5:30pm.One of my girlfriends called me for some drinks so I went out. Let me tell you, I had my giant Pina Colada. This isn't your ordinary Pina Colada. They give me a glass that I can fit my face into (think martini shaped glass, just much bigger). It's the pina colada with finely chopped up fruits and topped with strawberry and blackberry puree. Oh I was in my glory. Top that with some tortilla chips with spicy queso dip. Soooo worth leaving the ...

Happy Cinco de Mayo: Origin of Cinco de Mayo
2008-05-05 12:58:00
Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "5th of May") This holiday commemorates an initial war victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín over the French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. This date is observed in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. I beleive it has been on going since May 1st.

The state's governor and the mayor of Philly are both Clinton supporters, so the Democratic party in PA is clearly not of one mind on the presidential race.Obama supporters seem to anticipate that the contest will go past the April 22 Pennsylvania primary: Cinco de Mayo fund-raisers are already in place on the Obama campaign site.related blogs | read the original article | digg story

Cinco De Mayo: A Short History With Recipes to Follow
2007-12-20 04:42:00
Most people believe Cinco De Mayo, or the 5th of May, to be Mexico’s Independence Day, however, this is not true.  At midnight on September 15, 1810 is when the country actually gained its independence from Spain.  So, what did happen on May 5, 1862 to cause such a holiday? Well, my friends, it was the Battle of Puebla. As a new country just recently claiming independence from Spain, things weren’t always easy. You know, with war around every corner: the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), the Mexican Civil War of 1858 & many other political uprisings left the fledgling country with only a few coins in the bank. The summer of 1861 saw President Benito Juarez issue a two year moratorium on foreign debt payments, which hoped to restore financial progress. Of course, this didn’t go over so well. The English, Spanish & French were not wiling to allow Mexico this two year delay and instead invaded to get their monies by whatever means nec...

Corn, onions, cilantro, lime juice,tomatoes and black beans....yummy!! Personally, I love anything with cilantro....well, that and anything with heavy cream! lol!I used red onions instead of a vidalia because that's what I had on hand. Of course, a vidalia onion would be the yummiest but the red onion was pretty good too. The kids gagged over this one so next time I'll not make as much. I ate on it for several days and each day it got better!!Cinco De Mayo Corn SaladENJOY!!
The History of Cinco de Mayo
2007-05-11 08:16:00
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 of mayonnaise ever 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.
