Miscellaneous Ramblings

Puerto Vallarta, Jal. MX., December 22, 2015.   I’m sitting at my temporary office on the front veranda of our home in Puerto Vallarta watching people, animals, birds, insects, nature or “what have you” unfold within my viewpoint.  It’s currently 79 degrees, hazy sunshine, with hardly a breathe of air movement. I’m “forced” to temporarily use this location vs my normal place at my desk in the guest bedroom currently occupied by Dolores daughter, Christine, who is here visiting through this month.  Hmmm…now if I could only convince Dolores…Nawww.

As Christine finishes up her one-woman Cabaret Show in PV on New Year’s Eve, she’s been asked to go to Ajijic, just outside of Guadalajara, MX for a one night performance.  They’ve already pre-sold 100 tickets for a theater that holds approximately 400 persons.  It’s been an exciting time for her in PV this month, 8 shows to-date; 6 remaining.  Marvelous reviews in the local press, Facebook, and Trip Advisor.  From Ajijic, she’ll return to Seattle for Teatro ZinZanni’s, 2016 season.

Dolores and I are preparing for her third Essence of Cuisine Cooking School class this on Sunday the 27^th.  There are a couple of seats left for this month’s final class.  The menu:

·         Chips with homemade tomatillo sauce

·         Creamy pumpkin pasta with chorizo

·         Dry-rubbed flank steak with grilled corn salsa

·         Mexican green rice

·         Refried beans

·         Tapioca banana and coconut pudding

This includes welcome cocktails and wine throughout the dinner.  Contact Dolores at y_brittingham@hotmail.com or 322-222-7017 if you’d like to be included,
