  1. Put the corned beef in a pot with the opened spice packet and add water to cover. Bring to a boil then turn down the heat. You will want to simmer it for about 3 hours with the last hour adding cabbage, carrots and smaller red potatoes.
  2. ML, probably 5 years ago. Friends who live there buy them all the time, usually at the "new" Costco on Lopez Mateo.
  3. Just get a whole boneless ribeye from Costco. Guaranteed tender.
  4. MLost, For the 15 years we were Lakeside, Chapala Realty handled all the personnel issues including pay. When we had to fire a maid, they said I had to pay the severance and I objected because I never hired her, they did. I did not prevail.
  5. Emma's has been in the same location for at least 7 years. Anyone who doesn't know about it has been living under a rock.
  6. Please do a "copy/paste" of the article for those of us who are not subscribers.
  7. This has been a problem area for a number of years. I recall several visits to the office in Chapala before finally getting one. The issue was lack of cards.
  8. Costco sells NZ racks of lamb so any gringo stores that stock Costco stuff probably has them.
  9. My story took place in Houston. I realize the peril of having no license in Mexico. This is in Texas.
  10. My story took place in Houston. I realize the peril of having no license in Mexico.
  11. Is that high rise on the lake in La Floresta completed? All of the units showed sold on the MLS not long ago.
  12. A long time ago a well known attorney in Houston, Percy Foreman, never had a drivers license. He said the penalty for driving without a license was a lot less than driving with a suspended license. And the chances of being stopped are remote. And if you didn't have a license, they couldn't suspend it.
  13. We maintained a residence in WA for most of the 15 years we were here.
  14. If I had it do over, I wouldn't have even gotten a Mex DL. A NOB license it valid all over the world. All the years we were in Ajijic, the DL renewal process rivaled getting an emissions sticker.
