Thats for sure. We're still living off the $$$ I made trawling Pollock. B season (no roe $$) pollock looms in the very near future. I'd love to
just sit here and live off of a pension check like most of these folks.

these things in La Paz and some other city's I am pretty sure I could find anything I would want in Ensenada or T.J.when I go to the north to visit my
family in Ensenada I go crazy in the stores you people have it SO good up there the stores are big beautiful and well stocked.

"I can't stand Mexican butter and cheese."
Not to sound ignorant or anything but have you ever tried any? Because most that do (if they know the right kinds ) prefer it to the chemical bs
that the gringos are so used to.
Try some queso fresco or ranch cheese sometime!
PS, the milk and ice cream is a lot better here too!

Yeah that statement was way too broad. We really like queso fresco ( I myself can whip up a pretty good batch of farmers cheese). The mushroom
queso from Oaxaca is good.
The girls eat alot of Monterrey Jack cheese. Oddly enough we find Mexican Queso Monterrey to have a strong plastic after taste. The butter just
plain taste like feet! The Mexican lady who does most of the cooking around here actually request that I buy Tilamook cheese and american butter
when I go to el otro lado.
Mex Milk does taste better!

I sell Swiss for about half that. Cheddar, provolone, horseraddish cheddar, Genuine pecorino romano and parmesano reggiano too.
You're right about the butter. We only use it for some of our baking.
