What about the wine?

bajajudy - 11-23-2004 at 10:17 AM

Your picture made me thirsty for a nice glass of Baja wine. I love the local wines. It is all we buy....well besides cerveza. And as I mentioned before the Sonora beef. A nice Cab from Domecq or Cetto, thick Sonora steak, baked pot...as in potato;what more could you want.....oh right...that list of jr's i guess

YIKES

bajajudy - 11-23-2004 at 10:18 AM

Hot dogs.

When I was a kid growing up we did not have a lot of money.Tuesday night was hot dog night. I developed a dislike of hot dogs (and baloney and spaghetti'os and tuna casserole and liver an onions and spam).

In recent years I have developed a new appreciation for the hot dog, but ONLY in Baja.

This last week we were in La Paz for the race and we sampled three different vendors at the finish line and they all had there little twist. Then we were at the Serinidad Saturday night for the pig roast and we were so busy drinking fine tequila and visiting with racing folks that they ran out of pig before we could eat. We drove into town and had some fish,shrimp and carne tacos at Dony's then I spied a hot dog vendor right at the bus stop on Hwy. 1 and thought I should try one for future reference and ended up eating three of them and they were tasty. The only hot dogs I will eat anywhere but Baja are the ones my wife makes at home, Baja style!! :biggrin:

We have a trip planned to Tecate as we were told that they serve dogs there 25 different ways.

:lol:

WARNING! blatant commercialism.....

Hot dogs are to be had almost everywhere in Baja. And they are good!!
When you are being served weenies and eggs after loading shrimp all day, you know there must be something to them :lol:
Dave, I gotta try yours. They are delicious by las Ma?anitas.

bajajudy - 11-23-2004 at 01:54 PM

I love the hotdogs too. Unfortunately the health craze has hit and most of the carts here in Los Cabos serve calientos de pavo. But once you put the bacon, salsa, mayo, mustaza, and onions on them who would know.
Just out of curiosity, you guys(and gals) ask your hotdog vender what he uses. I am curious if it is a regional thing.

Mexitron - 11-23-2004 at 01:59 PM

I'll second that list Packoderm:biggrin:

Dave - 11-23-2004 at 02:19 PM

?Quihubo, g?ey? I skipped breakfast in San Quintin to build up an appetite for that pastrami. I was starving by the time I got to Primo Tapia Monday afternoon and the P-nche deli's closed y tu aqui en Los Estamos Servidos. Dej? tu P-nche botella con Joanna.

Dave - 11-24-2004 at 11:43 AM

I was very disappointed that I missed you. For what it's worth, Joanne decided that we should close because she had Thanksgiving orders she needed to fill.

I'll make you a deal. I won't open the bottle until we can share one together, and the pastrami will be on me.

Dave, I am HOOKED on your pastrami! I have NEVER had better! I am afraid the only way I will ever get to try a dog is if you run out of the pastrami!!! Hope to see you soon!! :biggrin:

?Orale, pue!:spingrin: I'll take you up on the pastrami. But, go ahead and open the bottle, fill both glasses (they came with) and down the second one a salud de Hillary en 2008 :lol: It could be awhile before I get back that way and I wouldn't want to delay your victory celebration.

Starched Undies!

Donde compra machaca de venada?
Que rico, si?

Wyoming and Alaska

jrbaja - 11-24-2004 at 05:34 PM

although, El Nido restaurants farm it so you can order it from them as a meal.

Occasionally, in the mountains of Baja, someone will accidentally run over a deer or it gets struck by lightning.
But ya gotta get there quick for the barbecue!:lol::lol:

winni con huevo, Mexican Coca Cola, pan dulce & especiales*

I quit reading after #1) Milk......:biggrin:

You got me with that! (but I'm sure that would be the only one on your list I would find better than Baja) :lol:

Happy Thanksgiving too you all!

Ice Cream and Coca-Cola

bajalou - 11-26-2004 at 08:30 AM

Besides special places in Baba I can think of a couple things. Coca-Cola and Ice Cream. Butchers in the meat markets make it nice for getting just what you want also. There's a instant coffee I always drink also. (see, I really know the finer things in life). And the sugar we buy thats packaged in the market and isn't snow white.

:biggrin:
