Sourdough – The second round (really a boule)
My first (two) attempts at sourdough were … pretty good. They both used a very simple recipe (4-Ingredient Gluten Free Sourdough) that was clear and gave a timeline for the two day process. The bread was beautiful to look at, however the crust was so tough that it was nearly impossible to cut, and the bread itself was on the gummy side. I understand that GF breads are often gummy, but this stuck to the knife, once you got through…
Trash Tony
Earlier this week, you met Tony and many other critters that have become part of our lives in Mexico. Tony is exceedingly camera shy, so the introduction photo was notoriously bad. Today, Tony visited again – LOUDLY. And I had the opportunity to get much closer and take a better (although still not a great) photo. Tony did not make the transition from our tile roof to the pergola as “gracefully” as usual. This time Tony slid off the tiles,…

The town is small and friendly, loaded with places to get great seafood and Mexican art (I found my new coffee mug and some small ceramics for the house!). It is very relaxed…
(Mostly) GREAT Road Food in Baja
I don’t just mean taco stands and Oxxo! This is a very short list of some REALLY GREAT places for food in Baja (Baja California and Baja California Sur). This is by no means all inclusive. I also have very few pictures of the amazing food we’ve discovered, usually because we eat it so fast that it is gone before I remember that I should take a pic. NOTE: Everyplace mentioned has at least some items that are celiac-safe and…
