This is a big celebration in Dallas, and you'll drive around and see restaurants advertising their Cinco de Mayo specials. Neither one of us are from Mexico, or have any blood relation, but it's not going to stop us from celebrating--eating style!
I don't normally post recipes on here, but I do want to share this one that I got off of allrecipes.com:

I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU POSTED THIS!! I wanted to try a new recipe on Sunday and pulled this exact one off all recipes! I substituted black beans for the chili beans and omitted the olives, also. I also sauteed a white onion when I browned the ground beef. I also ended up using 1 full cup of tomato de-seeded. It was very filling and we still have leftovers. This will be a great potluck dish!

You know, I guess all those years of being around each other, we've developed similar tastes!
