Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about.

How did you celebrate May the 4th or Cinco de Mayo?

Post by techietraveller84 »

I always love this time of year, because it gives me an excuse to watch Star Wars while eating Mexican food...and drink some tequila infused beverages. I finished up Bad Batch on Disney+ and made some haystacks...kind of like nachos, but you focus on the other ingredients and not so much cheese. Do you have any fun things you do or interesting ways you have celebrated these holidays in the past?

Not being Mexican nor a fan of fucking "Star Wars" I don't celebrate either.

Although I may have taken advantage of Mexican food on discount on the 5th a few times because Mexican food is the best in all of the Americas and its not even close

Just discovered it tbh

Fell asleep in the theater watching the original Star Wars, but I get the appeal

My wife got up early to go to the temple since the 5th was a major religious holiday. My daughter got 5 days off school since it's the royal plowing ceremony on monday as well. This left me free to think about how little I care about Star Wars or Mexico.
