Looking for some quality, fresh okra.
camillenparadise replied to elevator's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
Nice guy at the Tuesday market has it in the summer, maybe now. Walk in, take an immediate right, and he is on your right almost all the way down. I will be there housesitting in August, and I have enough fresh Burgundy Okra seed to share, some of it with him. Shoot, by then, I may have okra too. The burgundy is sooo much more tender than the normal. Unfortunately it turns green when cooked or pickled. Sometimes I dream of my grandmother's stewed okra, onions, and home grown tomatoes with fresh dill! So many people think they don't like okra, but the truth is they've never had it properly cooked. That's OK, more for us! -
There's always USTV now. You can get USA networks free, plus PBS, and other channels at cost. I am a Jeopardy! junkie too....

Gordo got me twice...he was a piece of something, all right, but NOT work! Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Well, I see I can't buy raw meat for my Bebo while I am there petsitting! Does Costco sell ground chicken? Soriana is OUT of the question since the manager kicked and broke a dog's jaw while the dog was only looking for a bit of shade. I try to alternate chicken, pork, and beef with Purina Pro Plan kibbles every day.

Can't wait to go to the Chapala mercado and stock up, maybe three days worht at a time, per RV's suggestion!

Does anyone at the Lake make/sell fresh grapefruit juice? I am debating whether to bring my huge antique Sunkist juicer, but it weighs close to 60 lbs! I'll just be there a couple of months housesitting, but can't do without my juice! TIA.

Another cry for kittens help

Bless you, Rony, for all you do! I can't have a cat because of all the big dogs around me in the jungle. I did have an outdoor cat for 14 years, always knowing when I came back from housesitting at the Lake, that there would come a time when she didn't answer my call, and then it happened..... -
Having had a DREADFUL experience in Ajijic with NO anaesthesiologist, with an alleged "doctor" whose name I will not mention and only damn, take yourself to Guad for decent medical care!!!!!!! I am lucky, I survived!

I would happily foster, but I am in Nayarit, an hour north of PV. Any way we can hook up? -

Thank you SO much for your offer of help, but the phone has to go back to Houston for repair. "Just bring it in" they say...HAH!!! AT a cost of $100 BUCKS I can "Just bring it in". Anyway, thanks!
Hi Joe,
I will be sitting in Riberas the month of August, then scrambling to find a little casita til Sept 18th, when my next sit begins. It goes til Oct 8, then I am available til the beginning of November, just in case you know of something.
See you soon!

I am so sorry for you. When I was seriously injured several years ago my employees took advantage of the situation, believing I would never leave the hospital, and relieved me of so many treasured possessions, including my grandmother's wedding rings. They considered it their right and there was nothing to be done. . They are long gone and I am hoping to be out of here soon.

Repelente at Costco.

What happened to the lady who used to be just behind the mercado in Chapala? I always found great garden clothes there.... -
I've got thousands of heirloom seeds, all refrigerated, likely viable when I arrive August/Sept. Happy to share

I like the idea of the big flashy sticky ones! But with this message. A visit to a local grua might make good sense too......Someone who I think wore a coonskin cap said, "Be prepared!" Oh, and from my Texas childhood..."Alway's fulla gas and facin' out"
