Hi Kate! When are you coming back to town? I have seen people with clipboards around the house but no real action yet. I think they are interviewing architects and contractors.

My absolutely favorite vegetarian cookbook is Christine Ingram’s Vegetarian and vegetable cooking. Pictures of every meal and everything is dependable and delicious. Honestly, a wonderful book.

The House! Obviously I’m not the only one who has walked by and pondered its history. Last year I was given some rumored info about it being owned originally by Germans. No-one seemed to know. I am very pleased that the beautiful structure is going to get a facelift; actually more than a facelift from its current condition…had been totally neglected. Keep us informed, please!

Your kitchen is magnificent. Do you have any really good cookbooks you could recommend for someone who is married to a wannbe vegetarian but who is really a “meat and potato man?” He’s serious but I’m finding it hard to come up with appealing recipes for him (us). Thanks a million. Kate (from MN)

Ken, the house is across the street from the oldest church in Mazatlán, Templo San Jose (1837) Unfortunately many of the original families who owned these houses left Centro for new upscale developments and it is the expat community that is by and large the ones restoring them.

Nice Kitchen! The house looks like a wealthy politician once lived in it. This is one of the reasons I love Mexico, they keep their properties, unlike tearing them down and building larger ones. ( Unless you happen to live in Planco )

Cheryl, thank you, we love the hood, too. (and the ceiling is painted the same color)

Jennifer, Paul is doing well, the lump is almost gone. Now he is sick as you know, probably dengue. I am getting a bit weary of playing Nurse Nancy but he has been SO sweet! A few more days and we’ll be close to normal I think.

How is Paul doing? Much pain? Is he getting better? We hope he feels well soon!

Beth, Thanks, we love the kitchen! And the old house is great.

Mindy, Thank you! And the house should be restored to its original at least on the exterior and Centro Historico has rules about that.

Zoe, Thank you, we love the kitchen too. Don’t be jealous, that’s no fun! And I am just praying that the restoration goes ahead, hopefully it comes to pass.

1st. Mate, I don’t get sick much, I was just joking with Paul (he is down with a cold) that it probably has something to do with all the whole foods I eat being a vegetarian! I do think there is something to it, even though I was joking him. And don’t worry about us with dengue too much, we seldom see a mosquito around our house.

Sandie and Mike, You must be getting excited to get back to Maz! And I remembered that Sandie loved that house, we call it the wedding cake house. Cross your fingers!

Nancy – we so enjoyed our lunch earlier this year and are looking forward to seeing everything else you have done up close.

That house is one of Sandies favorites, I think she has pictures of it from every angle and one day I had to stop her from climbing over the gate to get a closer look.

Wouldn’t that have been fun trying to explain to the police in our fractured restaurant Spanish what she was doing.

Nancy – I do hope you hang in there and avoid getting sick before the cooler weather sets in. You’re wearing repellent when you go out, right? What am I saying, when you’re in your house, you’re out.

Your house is a work of art. Your kitchen takes my breath away, I love the blue and yellow.

I remember walking by that house and wondering about its history. Who knows, it may be a disaster inside, but I hope not. Here’s to people who rescue wonderful old houses!
