Cinco de Mayo – Mexico Versus Napoleon

The Buzzed Boomer Research Department has discovered that May 5th celebrates not Mexican independence but something to do with Napoleon.  I supposed that’s because Napoleon Dynamite’s best friend was Pedro from Mexico.  Therefore, have a Modelo or a Corona or, if you prefer a cocktail, try a Tina Tai which is a Mai Tai that honors Tina the llama; courtesy of goodfoodstories.com.
