Mulegena,
Regarding illegal sweets, are you referring to "biznaga" the barrel cactus candy?

Yes, Paulina. Someone brought a taste to my husband once with a, "Shhhh". I'd never heard of biznaga candy and I don't think its made very often by
the rancheros. I mention it in reference to the rich close-to-the-land culture that still thrives here. Even the city-folk have family who still live
on the ranchos and keep the connections to the earthy way of life.
Personally, I don't like any of the sweet, sticky candy they make down here and prefer to enjoy the wonderful fruit au natural-- one of the great
treats of living here year-round is the gorgeous tree-ripened fruit and the flowering trees in everyone's yard come summertime.
Its neat to know that honey can be made from the date palm fruit. My neighbor's trees are heavy-laden right now and should be ripe in about a month!
Its fun to poke around the local markets like the one on the highway in San Ignacio. You can find all sorts of delights. We were up in the mountains
last weekend and found really cool brooms made out of palm. Bought one, of course.

Not creamy. Clear. This'll have a tint but way lighter
than the usual two-buck chuck.
Find the keepers round Mulege.
From there, you may find unblended palm.
Get some comb.
And by all means, kindly give me a call.
P.S. A perfectly clear honey is defined as "water white".

Ateo, did you go to Scorpion Bay via Bahia San Ignacio and south? If so, how was the road? Did you/are you gonna do a trip report?
|
Yes. Did a trip report. Search for San Juanico by Ateo.
The road was in decent shape. But I took the salt flats shortcut to Datil, then into scorp. Was ok. Washboard always sucks. U2u me if you have
questions.
