On a Roll ……… or how Making Some Dough Can, Sometimes, Change A Life
I’ve always been intrigued by bread. To me, it’s total alchemy – to take the simplest and plainest of ingredients (flour, water, salt, and yeast), mix ‘em all together, and come up with something that’s so totally morphed and changed … Continue reading

What’s New, Pussycat?
One of my least favorite Woody Allen movies is “What’s New Pussycat?“. But, boy, the title is catchy; isn’t it? And, ye gods, what a come down for Peter O’Toole from “Lawrence of Arabia”! However, this is not about … Continue reading

Cuyutlan, Colima, the ocean and the beach
After my last post, my friend Lulu asked if I was going to post some photos of the beach and ocean, and I told her that I would. Generally, I’m not crazy about snaps of beaches and oceans because they … Continue reading

Cuyutlan, Colima, part five
Monday morning in Cuyutlan dawned bright, hot, and steamy. By 8:30am, Jonnie and I were already perspiring (you’ll remember that no human ever sweats, according to my southern grandmother). Since Jonnie hadn’t had enough food at dinner the night before … Continue reading

Cuyutlan, Colima, part four
You will perhaps remember that in my last post about my trip to Cuyutlan that I told you that on Sunday afternoon, I had found Jesus. And so I had. Except that this was a very nice restaurant manager/cook named … Continue reading

Cuyutlan, Colima Road Trip, part two
Jonnie and I already knew what the casita looked like. Steve (the owner) had sent me photos. And, nicely enough, the place looked exactly like the pictures. One thing that Steve’s photos did not show was an air-conditioner, but, thank … Continue reading
