We said goodbye to our crew, Teresa, this morning as she heads off to Mexico City. Then we took a taxi into town to Allende Book Store to peruse her books in English. She has a nice assortment and some interesting little bits of artwork as well. Then another taxi took us to wal-mart for hard-to-find items like barber shears and ice packs. Many bags later we’re back at the boat for Jim’s siesta while I cleaned the veggies and tasted some of the new foods. The doble fibra pan tostado are thin slices of bread toasted crisp and really tasty, similar to Holland Rusks which I love. The tortillas tostadas are small corn tortillas crisped and also great. Still haven’t found cayenne pepper but did find ginger which got scrubbed and soaked for 10 minutes in the iodine microbe solution. In fact all the veggies got the treatment, even the onions, and are now drying in the sun. I plan on making salsa cruda and more smoky chipotle bean dip when it cools down, along with guacamole.
Dinner with Alex and Edith at Buffalo where Jim loaded up on his meat consumption. My salad was great, especially the homemade garlic bread.
We’ve decided to delay leaving the marina until this Sunday so Jim’s arm can heal from a soft tissue injury. That gives me time to cook more sautéed red pepper for a galetta and try a few new recipes from the new cookbook I bought.
