Have fun! I'd love to visit him someday. And the scenery around there sure is beautiful, or at least Bear brings out the beauty in it!

Have fun Juliet! He is a total gentleman and Karma is a sweetheart. I had a great time, good conversation, and an awesome trip to his secret spice supplier. Your in good hands. :)

Edit to add: I think its warmer on the coast, but its brisk as all heck out there today where I am. Good luck! Bring a scarf!

I am packing a little suitcase full of fresh jalapeÃ±os and corn tortillas and any other SW flavour I can can think of for him. If we find an old coffee can and start a fire we will roast the jalapeÃ±os.

I am bringing all my warm jumpers and going to be mooching along the coastline a lot.

I have never cooked 'em but always wanted to. And oh, yeah; some of that Queso Cotija, we can't get it for love or money here. We have a big grill on the deck if we want to fire-roast peppers. What about some honking-big Poblanos for chiles relleno?

Shall I organize up a Mexican feast party? Or do you wanna spend your days (daze) shooting, not cooking?

Looking forward to it... Need any Photoshop lessons? (wink)

Good lord, half those things I have not heard of lol, I will bring all the things that I can not pronounce apart from JalapeÃ±os!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAAH I will bring my laptop so you can show me all your PS stuff hahahah love it,

Nah, on the Mexican feast, that we will save until you come down here, I am only about 75 miles from the border, so I will take you across. Avocados are so expensive, I dont know why though, they just are, what price are they up your way??

I am writing a list!

You are going to have a great time!! I went to visit Robert twice last summer and really enjoyed my time with him. I can't wait to hear about your trip through the marsh! ;) Next time I visit I'll have to stay long enough so he can cook for me!

Damn. Now I want to visit Robert this weekend.

I'm a foodie. Some people eat because they're hungry. I believe that food is a modern form of entertainment.

Not this weekend, NEXT weekend. And you're welcome to come if you don't mind the couch; Juliet gets the spare room, see? We can have our own Super Bowl party :-)

Here in Orange Co, avocados are plentiful. I have an avocado tree in my backyard, along with lime, lemon, orange, kumquat, and apple trees. What I miss when I grew up in Florida were the mango and coconut trees. :-(
