Today we had a great adventure. We went to a Farmers’ Market in Jarretaderas. This is Mauri-1a neighboring colony to Nuevo Vallarta.  They have their market every Tuesday and it brings everyone together. I enjoyed watching the locals pick out their tomatoes, limes and pineapples. The items we purchased included avocados, peppers, onions, pineapples, tomatoes, bananas, mangos, jalapeños, cilantro, strawberrieimages and lettuce. We love to make salsa, guacamole, and fresh salads while we are on vacation.

If you have the opportunity to visit another country make sure you go off the beaten path. Ask around and find out where the locals shop and eat. We always imagemake a point to go to Titi’s, a local restaurant in Jarretaderas.  They make grilled red snapper that is amazing and their shrimp is delicious.  The prices are very reasonable!

well, for now, Adios Amigos.  Until next time…From our Butcher Block to your Table.

 

 

Make guacamole by peeling the avocados.  The avocados should be soft to the touch but not mushy.  Remove the “stone” from the center.  Dice 1/2 of an onion, 1/2 of a jalapeño pepper (more if you like your guacamole a little hotter).  Squeeze lime juice from 2small limes.  Mash this together with a fork.
