Nancy decided she would make breakfast for the @FPSouthoftheBorder crew. What did she decide to make? Scotch eggs. Yes, you read that right. Scotch eggs. In Mexico. Continue reading

Spagarita
Under a palapa, nothing beats a mango margarita, but on this day, I wanted to try something new. Something not quite as sweet, but equally refreshing. Something a little healthier. (OK, I know we are talking margaritas, but I was on vacation, so don’t judge). Continue reading

Homegrown
It was Friday. “Did you get tickets?” I pestered Dave with yet another text. Jess, Joy, Alex and I had them already. Dave and Carmen still did not. Dave, in Dave fashion, responded back without any stress. “I’m on the hunt. Nothing yet, but I’m confident we will.” Continue reading

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
