vidalia onions when we still lived in the states the boy scouts in our area would sell bags of vidalias right around mothers day. My wifes favorite gift would be a 10lb bag of vidalia onions and it became a tradition (along with a bit of a joke.) I miss those days. I don't believe any other...

we live in sinaloa and coming from Mn., shrimp here compared to there are in my estimation is very reasonable. people come to my door every day with fresh shrimp. (by the way, dirt for potting is expensive.) also a chico size agua chili at our local marisco, is about $3.50. add a beer and $5.00...

living in Mexico, I have to say that in the areas that eat predominately tortillas as opposed to pan (bread), while the flour tortilla is available, the corn are much more desired. They even had a vote down here on which to use. It was a economic issue, not so much a personal preference

In the part of Mx. I live, Machaca is eaten with a side of eggs & beans, (of course) for breakfast. We buy it here in bags in a dry form, add tomato, onion, chiles or what ever suits you to rehydrate and it's wonderful. One of my wifes favorites.

Sounds great!. The part of Mexico I live in, shrimp is cheaper than dirt! The real kicker here is your recipe for Adobo powder. Can you imagine, I live in Mx. and can't find it south of the border. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in Mexico. and I think I'll try your recipe, with a few changes, for fresh Mangoes

We use the term "capiscum" to refer to the chemical or enzyme that contains the bulk of the heat producing parts of the chile (the seeds and more so the veins that hold the seeds to the chile. That is why many people remove all or part of these areas to control the heat. Habeneros are among the...

pablanos Actually Pablanos are chiles, like jalapanos, not peppers. Here in Mexico they are often roasted, skin and seeds removed and stuffed(chile rellanos). They can be hot, but nothing like the preferred serrano or lesser used jalepano. There is nothing quite like the delicious aroma of a...

gucamole All recipes I've read here seem pretty good, although my son-inlaw is a chef from Mexico city and he uses much more cilantro than I've seen here. If you're a cilantro lover like me I would use around 3/4-1cup for 2-3 avocados. Also for the browning problem, when I lived in the US I...

I have a nice recipe for spanish rice calling for stewed tomatos, but living in Mexico, I haven't found any. How can I make them from scratch? The recipe calls for onions, green bellpeppers, etc. The same things it seems to me for stewed tomatos, but it also calls for canned stewed ... Any...

help whipping cream The bottle says cream, not Crema Agria, which I like very much. It also isn't the table cream used here to dip fresh fruit in. Seems like plain old heavy cream to me. As luck would have it, though, I spotted a carton of cream with a picture of strawberries floating on a...

We used a whisk,beaters and one of those new handblenders. Metal bowl. Can't make sense of it. If I can find it I thought cream of tarter or maybe a hybred whipped cream with a little unflavored gelatin. Don't know if I can find either down here though. We'll try again and keep you posted...

I'm in a part of Mexico that doesn't appear to use whipped cream. My wife bought some heavy cream to use for her fresh strawberry pie, added some sugar and vanilla and proceeded to whip the dickens out of it. I swear we would have turned it into butter if we kept after it! No amount of whipping...

I agree about the animals, infact to help with the shock of not working, we went to Los Amigos de Animales last week and adopted an abused Mexican dog. We're very happy with him, but it's strange the way the dogs here act differently than in the states. I thought Latino culture would only apply...

Hi, pdswife. I'm glad you like Maz. The season has been slow this year, tourist wise and it's hurting the locals that depend on the business. The weather has been cold by our standards 50's at night and low 70's day. Be sure to check out our new Mega when you come. Just across from Sam's. It...

Hola, Clienta, if the truth be told, our 1st love is Merida and the area there but the humidity was a problem for my wife. It's the cleanist and least traveled by tourists than anywhere we have been down here. We actualy went through immigration for Panama before Mexico. Wow! What stories I'll...

grinding beef I ground some beef using the fine plate and only 1 grind. The fat to lean ratio seems alright but the beef seems too moist and is hard to hold together on the grill. Is my problem not double grinding or something else?

I'm new,of course, isn't this the introduction forum? My wife and I after not much discussion, decided last summer to get out while the getting was good. We put our home on the market while it still had some value, took early retirements and moved the show to Mazatlan, Mexico. I found this site...
