Don’t you get it…..people would really like to hear about your research and observations even believe it or not your opinions ,no one will nail you to the cross…” the ladies don’t want me to “….get a grip

I understand the connection between antibodies and immunity however no one really knows just how many antibodies people with minor cases and the a symptomatic really produce , not to mention how long those antibodies last .

..One of the first premises of this particular article on why vaccines should not be mandated is of course completely false …it uses the word “ immune “ even without variants no one is immune … the completely vaccinated , people with comprised immune systems , children under the age of 12 who cannot be vaccinated and many others for a multitude of reasons who can never be … “ immune “ As the delta variant and perhaps new variants appear on the horizon …mandated vaccinations for certain segments of the population should and will happen ..probably soon .

A couple of years ago when we had a problem we tried boric acid and it did help, however someone recommended max force, Which can be purchased at most hardware stores. This product eliminated them….. anytime we see one,we repeat the process . I wish we would’ve had this product when we lived in Florida.

Is Mexico the only “ somewhat civilized “ country that does not require a vaccine , quarantine or a negative test to enter….I can’t decide who’s the dumbest Amlo or Mainecoones……

Just the usual repetitive B S one has grown to expect from cedros …start a thread with a question then contradict anyone who answers.

Just below our house in Ajijic is What can at best be called an “ urban farm “ A large piece of vacant land populated by goats horses and chickens etc. etc. Over the weekend the mare passed away… Unfortunately she has a 2 to 3 month old foal . It does appear that it is eating some grass however it still needs milk. I have done the research and I am not looking for opinions or alternatives just a source of fresh goats milk…..obviously I am willing to pay and will pick up ASAP…"thank you.

I am personally sure that Gringal and many others have glutamate allergies….so many people have allergies legitimate and otherwise due to our food additives , chemicals ,pollution and so many other contributing factors in modern society. However it is impossible to avoid MSG / glutamates as they occur naturally in almost every food we eat . Foods like Parmesan , anchovies, almonds and cured meats….even various tomato products all have really high concentrations of glutamates …So does Chinese food deserve its bad rap…for the vast majority of people…? don’t even think about it .

The brew house was using basa when I tried their fish and chips ( only once ) I forgot to ask .

Looks to me like CNBC business on Shaw has disappeared , the same as several other channels recently…Bloomberg business is on 257 but it’s not even close to CNBC….could be the last straw for us ..we will probably start researching alternatives..I hate to lose that network.

The small wheels of Brie can easily be marinated and fried or better yet on the charcoal/ gas grill .

Lakeside ..the death rate ratio due to traffic accidents per hundred thousand population..in Mexico is actually lower than the USA . In fact traffic deaths in the USA are the leading cause of death for people below 55 .

Mexa bistro may just give Teocintle a run for their money….dinner this week was really enjoyable …. Modern Mexican cooking, a wide range of choices… Price is similar to Teocintle ( upper range ) ,service was good ,With a reasonably priced wine list . I had a duck Carnitas taco , and a braised brisket with roasted onions ,potatoes and a light mole sauce….both really good ( no bits and pieces of miserable chicken here ..Andy p ). Also nice to see fish other than salmon being served… Grouper was the daily special.

Andy Pandy….do you honestly think after eating my way around the world several times dining at many of the best Indian restaurants not to mention learning how to make many traditional Indian dishes from scratch ( NO GRAVIES ) that I would ever accept “ bits of chicken meant for stock “ and be happy with it ? get a grip or a better still a life . As for my career …check it out ( google is your friend ) …a dozen or so restaurants all 2 or 3 stars….better get a drink and a sandwich it may take a while….. meanwhile why don’t you go try it… If then you don’t enjoy your bits of chicken you will at least have a little credibility.

Andy p….. even for you… Critiquing a restaurant’s policies that you have never been to or experienced is a new low or perhaps not…. Chillin….. your speculations about two or three “ gravies “ made several days in advance is just that..pure speculation …and please as a saucier for several years before becoming Chef….. “ gravies “ are something your mother probably made .

Unfortunately I have a healthy appetite and there was more than enough chicken on my plate…along with excellent naan and a very tasty samosa … my wife took enough home for her lunch the next day .( refused my help to finish )

We Just enjoyed a great Indian dinner in their outdoor area …. Traffic noise wasn’t too bad… Food was great… Service was attentive and the prices were very reasonable … we ordered spice level six was perfect for us… moderately hot .

Also highly recommend …. Hyaluronic acid injections in the right knee administered by Dr. Gonzalez the orthopedic surgeon at the San Antonio hospital. A series of three injections over a three-week period usually last me between eight and 12 months. The total cost is approximately 5000 pesos . Game changer for me as I walk 4 or 5 miles every day and hike the mountains onthe weekend…… hoping it puts a knee replacement surgery off for at least a couple more years or more .

Casa Linda…. Braised short ribs, duck confit, great fish dishes… Sunday breakfast, bloody Mary’s and much more . Ambience, service and professional management…. Rio Bravo …west Ajijic.

Yes…5 or 6 tables comfortably spaced undercover .

We had a wonderful Mexican dinner ( again ) last night at Teocintle Maiz…..( Ocampo east Ajijic ) we reserved a table upstairs on the rooftop Terrace…every table was full upstairs and in the main dining room . The menu is modern Mexican with a wide range of choices…..appetizers around 100 pesos and mains around 200 . The plate presentation was very professional… The food was served hot and spiced perfectly for us along with several tasty salsas and, the warm tortillas appeared to be home made . The service was spot on…friendly and attentive… not to mention pleasant live acoustic guitar in the background .Our check with two appetizers, two main courses a bottle of wine including a 20% tip was a little over 1000 pesos . How lucky we are to have several restaurants of this standard in our village .

Can anyone really forget Jeffrey… He was one of a kind… Personally I miss both Jeffrey and Cafe Magana .

Within the last week or two, two friends of mine have both had interactions with local police , One was a minor fender bender the other one a minor traffic .offense. On both occasions the police threatened to tow the cars away needless to say both paid cash And the police left. My question is ... when and for what reasons are the police allowed to tow your car . Not sure that there are specific reasons other than cash of course however....

Wonderful fresh mussels at Costa Alegre ( Fish market superlake plaza ) yesterday...200p per kilo .

Flew into Orlando on Friday .... went to a FEMA walk up site on Sunday a.m. Choice of Johnson and Johnson or Pfizer vaccine . We took the Johnson and Johnson in and out in less than an hour including the health check. No side effects or soreness of the arm the next day....went kayaking. The FEMA site was amazing..... dozens of national guard assisting patients between tents no lines with at least 20 vaccination seats in each tent, and of course… No charge .
