If the lady in the mango orchard has "ate de mango" I may swing on over and buy 5 or so kilos. Then if the grapefruit are not all gone, I'll load up
on them and naranjas and head back over the hill.
I wonder what the mango jam is selling for these days? I'll fill the rest of everything else up in the car with leña de mesquite for my barbecue.
Maybe some dorado if I can find it somewhere. Goodies from Saul's.
Not asking for toooo much am I?
From what I understand, the breeze has turned around from the south for the season. Could be plenty warm. I'll raid farmacias similares in Sta

How's the weather? Its summer already (notice no bouncy smiley face here).
I think its too early for the mango "jam" but I'll ask what she or any other local "fruit craftster" has available right now in town in the way of
confections.chuckie - 6-20-2012 at 04:04 PM

I'll hold off on my plans until señora mulegéna sleuths a bit. Wonder if the Cuesta del infiernillo work has really screwed up the pavement? Are the
dorado showing up? I wonder if a side trip to San Bruno would be worth it? And I forgot all about panadería El Boleo. Jeez, I hope all this works out!
Toasted bolillo with ate de mango is one good way to start the day. So is a visit to the segundas. I think the heat is going to drive me out early
though. Got to get up that grade bastante temprano.
To Quote honorable Charlie Chan: "Going to be busier than one eyed cat watching six mouse holes".
Hey Mulegéna, how about an ice cold margarita at El Patio for your effort?

Going back out friday.. hope to get more fish and pics. The pemex guys love us when trolling for dodo's...

Got a question.
What's "ate de mango"? No one seems to know.
I checked the trees. Mangos are big but they're totally green.
We have some sticky sweet dulce de toronja, but it was a one-off; don't know where to get more.
Will check with in-laws further manana...DavidE - 6-20-2012 at 09:48 PM
It's like a thick jam. Living on the other side for so many years I forget sometimes. Hilda my housekeeper raised her eyebrows when I described leña
de guisaxche, one of the best cooking firewoods in México. Her esposo however chimed right in -- he is from Michoacan. For many years if you asked for
el pavo over there they shook their head, turkey was known as guajalote. Now it's cerdo vs. puerco (sigh).
The lady that makes ate de mango in Mulegé did not know what ate was either. What the heck is it called here, mermelada? Dulce?
It's pronounced AH-tay. You should be able to find ate de mermelada or guayaba in package stores. Sometimes they have it in other fruit but mango is
rare even over there.
Sorry for the confusion.

Road construction starts about half-way between San Ignacio and the Virgenes, and continues down the grade, and is intermittent all the way to the
Bolero entrance. In most place they've kept one side with pavement but plan for some waiting as you will be sent through in groups through the
one-lane sections.

WWaV, that's a great one. So are the two exits off of I-5 up north:
