Met a Nomad at Ruben's Grill Sunday Brunch Today
I was standing at the omelet station, waiting for Oscar to finish cooking my pancake and egg.
A very nice man approached me and asked, "Do you post on Baja Nomad?' I answered, "Yes."
He then asked, "Are you Gypsy Jan, I think I recognize you from your stories about your dogs."
I said, "Guilty, as charged." Well, not really, but you get the idea.
Anyway, we chatted for several minutes about many things, including our mutual admiration for Julia Child--her books and TV shows.
I will not identify this Nomad without his permission, but our meeting today was a very, nice, a truly-only-in-Baja kind of moment, additionally
enhanced by the good food, glorious weather and the great people who were enjoying themselves.

Hmm, Am I Visited by a Ghost?
Well, I don't think so, but I should check the candlesticks and the walls.
Does lighting incense help?

Maybe, maybe not.
Ambiguious might be my middle name...or maybe not.

It wasn't Fishbuck. He would have hit on her and we would have heard about it

I hate to spoil the fun, but it was me. We have known Gypsy Jan and her husband for a few years through mutual friends. Her posts about Ruben's
Grill narrowed down her location in Baja. When she mentioned her Lab's a light went off!!
As for Julia Child, I do like to cook and we talked about how Oscar makes omelets on a grill, the way Julia did it on her show by tossing the eggs and
filling in a pan and the way I learned years ago.
ps. we will be at Ruben's Palms Grill Tuesday for a big Independance Day celebration!!!

Well, that wasn't as exciting as bumping into Gull or JR but, the mystery is solved. Thanks, Steve.
By the way, Julia may have shown HAZEL how to boil water but, she taught me the joys of never doing anything without a bottle of wine in my hand.
DEP Julia.
