Can you do that? Seems like the health department would have an opinion.

We will be in La Paz tomorrow.
And, talking about corned beef, anybody know of a place where they might have corned beef.
In my 20 plus years here, never seen it anywhere.:no:
Please correct me if wrong.
Love the stuff.

Cosco in Cabo San Lucas,

and I think I have seen it at City Club on occasion.

Ron. I'm curious. Maybe you know. Shut Up Frank's was up for sale a few years ago. Never heard if it changed hands, or the original owner is still there.

Happy 100'th Mom!

Dave - 3-16-2009 at 10:10 AM

Tomorrow is mi mither's birthday. Born in 1909 in London and within hailing distance of St. Mary's. In her memory I will dress in the orange, drink Scotch whiskey and curse the Irish.

Good to hear that Franks is still open. I picked up 84 lbs of corn beef and everything to go with it yesterday in El Centro and will fire it up at 6:00 AM tomorrow. It is one of our favorite events for the South Campos.

It was not sold .....

Except for ten or fifteen who attend the happy hour there is not much business ....

Hardly a hot item in this buyers market ....

Actually nothing is selling in Todos Santos :lol:

Everyone thinks their places are worth about twice what they actually are worth :lol:

Now here is a Saint Paddy's Day story .....

A Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London .

After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken, usually an Irishman's favorite part of the flight.

The Irishman asked for a whiskey, which was promptly brought and placed before him.

The flight attendant then asked the Mormon if he would like a drink.

He replied in disgust, 'I'd rather be savagely raped by a dozen hoars than let liquor touch my lips.'

The Irishman then handed his drink back to the attendant and said,

'Me too, I didn't know we had a choice.' :lol::lol::lol:


Happy St.Patrick's Day

I was told last week that Sauls Market in Mulege had a supply of em. (for future reference)

We will be at the salon, with many of our friends and neighbors for corned beef with the works and drinking green beer, can hardly wait.

Does anyone know where we could find corned beef around Ensenada? Would love to have it more then once a year.

Please post photos of you in your orange dress.




Murphy told Quinn that his wife was driving him to drink.
Quinn thinks he's very lucky because his own wife makes him walk.

Maybe try the so-called Irish pub on the corner of Independencia and Belisario Dominquez? It's called Isolde or something like that.

Kate


I've never seen that place open. I figured they were either out of business or not open until past my bedtime.




Paddy was tooling along the road one fine day when the local policeman pulled him over.

"What's wrong, Seamus?" Paddy asked.

"Well didn't ya know, Paddy, that your wife fell out of the car about five miles back?" said Seamus.

"Ah, praise the Almighty!" Paddy replied with relief. "I thought I'd gone deaf!"

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Thanks Kate,
We will definitely look into it and if anything comes of it, we'll give a full report.:biggrin:
And just in case, Jesse is right down the street. Were there 2 weeks ago, and , like usual, it was fabulous.
Only complaint: so dark that you couldn't read the menu without a flashlight.:no: But also in his defense: the place is as attractive, if not more so than the old one accross the street. Great work Jesse !!

Don't lead Ed astray, Kate. I've seen his picture and "Exquisite" wouldn't work well for him.
You, on the other hand...........

Same here, but the place always looks "lived in". Apparently they're open evenings 4pm-2am.

Maybe the Vandenbergs will do us a review. :biggrin:

Kate


When I lived in La Paz I never saw it open either :lol:

There are two "Irish" pubs within spitting distance of my fiance's place in TJ - Pub de la Chapu and the new Irish Living across from the Club Campestre. Both are small, loud and not terribly Irish, but I give them a B+ for effort. Given the exchange rate I will probably spend St. Paddy's down there - report to follow (hic!) :cool:

bajabound2005 - 3-16-2009 at 05:54 PM

We'll be celebrating at La Sociedad de Vecinos' St. Paddy's gig (or should that be a jig?) here in Punta Banda with our fellow local Nomads.

Tomorrow I hope to hoist the nectar in honor of me great grandda, Pvt. Pleasant Neal, Co. C, 3rd NC, CSA. I'm on my way next weekend to spend a week in Emmitsburg, MD with a side trip to Gettysburg. This has reawakend an interest in geneology last visited before there was an internet. Now I know more than ever about where he was. His regiment was part of Steaurt's Bigade, Johnson's Division, Ewell's Corps and fought alongside the 2nd MD, CSA, at Culp's Hill. To say fighting was intense is an undertatement. 2/3 of Pleasant's regiment was wiped out, he was wounded and captured but survived the war. He was twice a rebel, being obliged to leave the old sod circa 1850 to avoid a hemp necktie when the Black and Tans found a stash of muskets in his pig sty.
Slainte, Pleasant!

DOS EQUIS comes in a green bottle. Will that qualify with St Paddy?? I have a dozen to use up, somehow, before the border.

In honor of the San Patricios in Mexico, I'll raise one of those XX in a toast:
