Cinco de Mayo

Happy Cinco de Mayo to everyone from Private Home Health Care.

Don’t be fooled thinking it’s Mexican Independence day.  It was an important day for Mexico because the Mexican resistance was able to keep the French army and Napoleon III from reaching Mexico City.  The French had hoped to overthrow the Mexican President on that day of May 5, 1862. This was the Battle of Puebla.

Look forward to the US Civil War and what could have happened if the French had won and then supported the Confederacy.  The United States would be a very different place today.

Try adding a little bit of Mexico into your life today by enjoying guacamole with tortilla chips.  Below is a recipe for chunky guacamole from Food Network.

In a small bowl, mash 3 avocados.  Mix in ¼ cup of diced white onion, ½ cup of diced plum tomato and chopped cilantro.  Add a bit of lime juice for taste.  (If you want a little spice you can add 1 diced seeded jalapeno).
