This photo has too many captions to just list one. Can you help me? Good a good one?
Food for Thought!
Last week I worked on my marinara sauce and came up with a Juan Marcos milanesa pollo dish. So chicken was the focus…..oh, Look! A Chicken! (an Ashleyism)
This week the primary ingredient was carne molida, or ground beef, and I made my marinara con Italiano albondigas or meatballs served with spaghetti rigati one evening, and blanco arroz or white rice the next. Of course some vino tinto or blanco on the side.
Next week, camarones, or shrimp, will be the focus.
On a great suggestion, I located a great place, on the lateral, for deserts and I picked up a slice of tres leches con fruta today for 30 pesos. I was drooling over some of their other specialties. It was far better than Mega’s Tres Leches.
On a different note, my struggles with acquiring the internet in my condo continue. As I reported yesterday or two days ago, Gaby had picked up a USB Modem for my computer. Gil, at The Shamrock, helped me install it and it worked…..slow, but it worked. When I returned to my condo, it didn’t work. The next day after trying the modem (with computer) in several different locations, I finally got it to ‘work’. That is if you call a 2kb download speed, working. It took 6 minutes to load Yahoo.com A one page pdf was going to take 32 minutes. Sorry, that’s not working. I now know that a subsnail-paced internet connection is worse than no connection. Lesson learned.
I hiked to Panino’s this morning, and wrote to the owner and Gaby to see if we can try a plan B, or C, or D. I shall see. I am confident that within 10 weeks, I will have this issue resolved. Lol….which is all one can do. I will be knocking at the neighbors’ doors tomorrow, as I see that one of them has a very strong but encrypted signal. (did you see the light go on?)
So Juan, what’s the big deal about having internet? Aren’t you supposed to relax in Mexico? To answer this, I earn a portion of my living by trading in the stock market. The internet is a major tool needed to accomplish this. If you were a taxi driver and I took away your car, could you make a living? If you were a carpenter and I took away your tools, could you make a living? If you're a cheesehead and they took away your bratwurst, could you survive? I think not. Or at the minimum, it would be quite a challenge. However, I will make do with the limited internet access.
Time for a siesta!
Buenos Tardes!
