Just more of this wonderful desert weather. Dry air, no bugs, and sunshine 55 (12C) at 5 am windows open all night perfect winter weather. Now to day was colder than yesterday only got to 82 F but a light cool breeze perfect for a spot in the shade.I made an early morning quick trip to Olsen's IGA (love this store!) in AJO for a few groceries. And home by 10 am.

Where have we been this winter ?
If you like shrimp pick up some at the Rocky Point stand next trip. Their Blue Shrimp are from Puertocitos, awesome! (no shrimping allowed now north of San Felipe). Or stop by and put a few on the bar-b to share :) ... Ajo (Garlic) is making a marvelous recovery since the closure of the mine. What a fun little town, always worth a stop.
ReplyDeleteI have 5 kilos in the fridge ...
DeleteWe will pickup some shrimp for sure and do love them, the problem is they are all frozen, in Algodones we can get the fresh which we prefer.
DeleteLike you said Ajo is a nice funky town recovering quite well.
Enjoying the pictures of Why and Ajo. It is such a nice and quiet area to spend some time. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt is very a nice relaxing and friendly place, works for us.
DeleteWow, that is a deep mine pit. Will have to get over there.
ReplyDeleteTurkey loaf looks wonderful. You are a master of the Q!
Thanks Dave I eve my Weber. This is a nice area to explore, the Turkey loaf was very moist and tasty.
Delete"Dry air, no bugs, and sunshine" - that does sound darn good. Those mines sure leave some ugly scars. It's been a while since our last meatloaf and now you have me wanting some.
ReplyDeleteThis is the reason we enjoy this part of the country. Meatloaf is a nice treat and of course meatloaf sandwiches too.
DeleteNext time in Ajo, if you haven't stopped into the museum you should. I have stopped twice and have enjoyed talking to the local volunteers. They are exceptional to talk to. More history of the mine and what their life was like when it was operating.
ReplyDeleteWe have been there before couple of years ago, they were very informative. If Suzie was with me I would have stopped again
DeleteWE have a pit mine like that here in Yerington. So sad what happens when the mining stops. Again, beautiful pictures and that meatloaf looks wonderful. I have used your recipe before and it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt is sad but the copper mining is very necessary for our everyday lives, A lot of the mines have programs in place to reclaim the land. Glad you enjoyed the recipe , we love it too.
DeleteMeatloaf on the grill .... my next challenge!!
ReplyDeletePretty good Nancy, set on the trivet with foil so that it cooks like and oven, very tasty.
DeleteAnother great day in paradise.
ReplyDeleteYour meatloaf looks yummy. Is it sitting right on tinfoil and then your trivet is also foil covered? Sounds easy!
Yes Patsy that what I did,the trivet with foil to get some airflow under neither, Works wonderful.
DeleteDefinitely warmer there than here but it's still beautiful during the day, nights get comparatively cold though. Still warmer than home so we'll take it.
ReplyDeleteYou are in much higher elevation there so it will be cooler. Don't mind the cold nights though good for sleeping.
DeleteNice pics. Cute little church. Great little town. Love the little market.
ReplyDeleteThis is an area that we love, not for everyone but works for us.
