You Say Tomato, I Say Jitomate...

Comparing life in Mexico to life in the United States is like comparing apples to oranges.  But I have been in Mexico for so long that I have pretty much forgotten all about those differences.   Then there are days like this Tuesday when I'm reminded, not so much about the differences in lifestyle, but about some of the small cultural differences.   Just before going to bed on Tuesday night, Hope suddenly remembered a pending Geography assignment.  She had to make...

Guanajuato, Mexico - Do You Really Want to Know'

Check out NBC's Dateline Report on San Miguel de Allende Kidnappings--CLICK HERE***I decided I am going to survey mental health professionals regarding the issue of why Gringos move to Mexico, become Gringolandians, and then live according to this idea that they've arrived in Heaven on Earth, Shangri-La, and Nirvana where nothing bad can possibly dwell. If I can get responses I will let you know the results.There has got to be some psychiatric thing going on when such masses of Gringos move...

Tortillas de Maiz

The most important part of any meal here in Mexico is the tortillas.  Corn tortillas are served at breakfast, lunch and dinner.For those of us living in Mexico, we are a bit spoiled.  Every town has atleast one tortilleria making fresh corn tortillas daily for the whole town.When I first moved to Mexico, most of the women made their way to the tortilleria just before the mid-day meal, to stand in a very long line waiting for warm, fresh corn tortillas.  This daily activity was...

Guanajuato, Mexico - Tunnels Aren't Safe

Check out NBC's Dateline Report on San Miguel de Allende Kidnappings--CLICK HERE***Remember that if you read on website selling real estate (Right, Mr. Bill'), or travel to Mexico services, that it is safer here than any place on Earth, that you should see red flags!I have received numerous emails from wannabe tourists and expats if they can park their cars in the Guanajuato tunnels' My first impression is always, "why would you want to," but I resist saying that.In the Wednesday, February...

Swill

Once you leave Mexico, drinking tequila is a dodgy issue. Take a look at the bar at Mena’s Palace, a beloved luncheonette in the French Quarter of New Orleans.  On the middle shelf you can find a couple of brands of tequila, “Juarez” and “Pepe Lopez,” that I have never seen in Mexico. Call me skeptical, but [...]

Moving Again (Eventually)

We've been busy for the past couple of weeks. We are moving to a new apartment soon and we've been packing and getting organized. Actually, we were planning on moving last week but ended up waiting because we wanted to paint our new place and install a calefon - a 'good' water heater - because, as I've mentioned before, hot showers are a necessity in life (at least for me). We were planning on moving tomorrow, but this morning we got a call from our new landlady (who lives downstairs) saying...

Guanajuato, Mexico -- Paradise Lost

Check out NBC's Dateline Report on San Miguel de Allende Kidnappings--CLICK HERE***I've written extensively about how Gringos come to Mexico to live looking for a real, honest to God, sinless paradise. They reason that Mexico cannot possibly have the crime that exists in the U.S.A., totally ignoring the viciousness of the Narcos when the chop the heads off of those opposing them.Regardless, those who have moved, and are moving, to the Central Mexican town of Guanajuato, Guanajuato seem...

What To Eat With Tamales'

My earlier blog tells about the origin of tamales and how to eat one, but if you want to make a supper party featuring tamales you might need some guidelines for a menu. A traditional meal in here in Mexico, the ancestral homeland of the tamale, is an accompaniment of Pinto beans (frijoles). Black beans would work well too. Where I grew up in New Mexico this meal would also include a simple tossed green salad with tomato, lettuce, a chopped avocado, some onion and oil and vinegar dressing. You...
