We made a treat basket to put by our front door. The sign translates to: To our amazing Delivery Drivers. We appreciate the work you do. Thank you for making our lives a little easier. Please take a snack for your travels. Merry Christmas!
Judging by how often we had to replenish it, the drivers seemed to like this idea.
Dec 16…
RumChata is a very nice alternative to Eggnog for a seasonal beverage. And you don’t need to add Rum!
Nov 20…
After the plumbers took everything apart and put it back together again – several times – now we have a slow leak at one of the couplings!
Nov 11…
We paused for lunch with our guest on the day trip to Todos Santos.
This is the Mole Chicken at Los Adobes de Todos Santos.

Spectacular sunset tonight. All the neighbours were out watching and taking pictures!

This is how trick-or-treating is done in Cabo… Decorations, and a bowl of candy for kids to come and pick for themselves.
(not our door… one of our neighbours)
Oct 22…
After the storm… Cool enough for Shari to enjoy her morning coffee on the patio.

Using binoculars to project the image of the partial solar eclipse.

These were on sale at our local grocery store. Apparently they sold the rest of the alphabet, and just S & R were left.
Sept 23…
Lorne, at the far left, renewing our Costco membership. When our Canadian membership expired we signed up for the Executive membership at Costco Mexico. It costs a little more up front, but you earn a percentage back with each purchase. For the last two years our earned rewards have more than covered the cost of renewal.
Sept 22…
It’s pumpkin-spice time of year!
Fresh-baked pumpkin loaf. We brought it into the air-conditioned office to cool, because it’s way too hot in the kitchen.
Sept 22…
Home-made fish tacos for lunch… air-fryer grilled cod, spiced vegetable blend, beans, lime crema, salsa verde, warm corn tortillas. Yum!

“halloween christmas stuff”.

Relaxing, playing some Canasta!
Aug 28…
Shari’s birthday… home-made lemon layer-cake with blueberries, and a lemon frosting.
We bought a new pair of 6-inch cake pans so we could make it an appropriate size for two people to enjoy – without having to eat leftover cake every day for the next month.
Aug 26…
Shari’s (early) birthday dinner… Grilled picaña (or picanha), asparagus, and potatoes romanoff. So good!
Aug 25…
Preparing the picaña (or picanha) for tomorrow. It will dry-brine covered in sea salt overnight in the fridge to draw out water, concentrating the big beef flavour.
Aug 18…
Storm day! Even though we were just catching the edge of the storm spiral, we closed the metal storm shutters over our patio door, just to be safe.
Aug 17…
Heading out for some last-minute grocery shopping before the storm gets here. Lots of big ominous clouds rolling in.
Aug 16…
Prepping for Hurricane Hilary – making sure the Propane is topped-up. The guy on the roof throws down a rope to haul up the hose to connect to our rooftop tank.

Growing up we (Lorne’s family) always had a vegetable garden, and we always grew a lot of tomatoes. We were always looking for ways to use up those tomatoes, and one of our favourites was Tomatoes on Toast. Still a favourite today.
Toast, Mayo, Sliced Tomatoes, sprinkle of Salt… Mmmm!
July 21…
Heading out to Costco. Car dash says it’s 40°C (104°F) outside.
July 18…
We get a lot of things from Amazon. Some of them come in very large boxes! Kudos to the delivery guy who carries them up the stairs to the third floor for us.
July 16…
Coke’s latest “Limited Edition” flavour. This was much better than their “8-Bit” version. This one tastes like Coke + Rosemary.

A typical workday in the office.
July 10…
We put a frozen english muffin into a square container overnight in the fridge to defrost. In the morning it came out square.

Homemade Chicken Snack Wraps, including fresh homemade Ranch Dressing.
May 31…
We saw bottles of this in the store, and wondered if we would like it enough to buy some to take home. And then we noticed they had it in cans! Perfect serving size to try in our hotel. Our review: We didn’t buy any bottles to take home.
May 31…
Picked up some drinks from a McD’s drive-through. One of the straws must have got caught in the paper-wrapping machine, and it sealed the end shut.
