During our Memorial Day roll ’round the ‘hood, we dropped by Ashley and Sue’s house (estate) to meet their new family members. They had just adopted… Continue reading

May was far more relaxing than April, but it certainly wasn’t short of inspiration. Here’s what kept me busy and inspired this month. Continue reading

Oh, Kale!
In late January, we created at tiny raised bed garden. The only place that gets sufficient sun is on the south facing side of the house, next to the driveway. Over the spring months, it produced a head of cabbage or two, but it has finally matured into a fully functional and productive space. The tomatoes have just offered their first fruit of the season. Juicy golden little gems. Rare enough Continue reading

Gardenia’s
About 2 blocks from @FPSouthoftheBorder, on a Cabo back street, there is a hole in the wall of a taco shop. They do have other items on the menu, which are actually quite good, but when you have the opportunity to have their tacos, DO NOT pass it up. You will need nothing else. I could each here each day for each of my 7 days vacationing in Cabo. Continue reading

Pimp My Ride
Alex’s dad loves restoring old bikes, so both he and I have the most amazing beach cruisers. His is cobalt blue with original Schwinn decals, tank, and white wall tires on shiny chrome wheels. Mine is lavender, with soft green accents, brown leather seat and grips, and a French basket on the handle bars. They are beautiful, and fun. The same could not be said about Alisha’s old black and red Huffy. It was dingy, dirty and deflated. Given that Alex had inherited some of his dad’s skills, Continue reading

Sobras
I love good eggs benedict, but Canadian Bacon is hard to come by in Mexico. The last morning @FPSouthoftheBorder, we brought out all our leftover food, which included English muffins, soyrizo, salsa verde, and other accoutrements. From the sobras (leftovers) I constructed a delightful little ode to my favorite breakfast. Allow me to introduce you to Continue reading

Show of Anticipation
April showers bring May flowers. In my garden, LATE May flowers (Ok, now June). I anxiously await the arrival of the agapanthus each year. Mysteriously, they spring up overnight, long green spears, hiding a colorful secret. Continue reading

Rays of Flight
At the entrance to Cabo San Lucas’s port is a stunning resort, the Hacienda, that sits up on the hill overlooking Land’s End and the port. Layered infinity pools stretch out, making it hard to distinguish the sea from the land. And above this, is a beautiful restaurant with one of the best views in town, and wonderful food. On this magical night, we were enjoying the view, and we saw something truly spectacular. Continue reading

Happy Hours
@FPSouthoftheBorder, vendors stroll back and forth across the beach selling all kinds of wares. Alex’s favorite is the mango man. Perfectly ripe mangos, peeled, spritzed with lime, salted, and peppered to order. It’s perfection in its simplicity. It’s hard to find perfectly ripe mangos at the grocery store, and if you don’t want to wait for the perfect moment of ripeness, I have a secret for you: Continue reading

Hábito
When I said there was #noagenda @FPSouthofthBorder, that was mostly true. We do have somewhat of an agenda. We all wake up Continue reading
