Howdy Irsquom Mazatlaacuten Jack and Irsquoll be doing the Stranger in Paradise column for the

foreseeable future You hopefully never heard of me but some of the older readers might remember my illustrious brother Monterrey Jack

Anyhow Irsquove been hanging around this old town for too long maybe but I canrsquot think of a better place to get stuck for the duration Itrsquos got something for everybody at every stage of life

Imagine how cool it must be to grow up in Mazatlaacuten Dozens of miles of beaches within the city limits and not a snow shovel anywhere An expansive sea walk you can skateboard and bike along endlessly A week off school for Carnival every year and two weeks off for Easter Totally awesome Like the song Corrido de Mazatlaacuten proclaims here even the poor folk feel like millionaires

My first couple of years in Maz I covered the waterfront Playa Norte was my haunt rambling from the Fishermanrsquos Monument to Valentinorsquos and back I never missed a sunset went body surfing in wintertime eschewed touristy type places in the flavors of the rustic and exotic palapas shopped at the Mercado Central ate raw shellfish swimming in hot sauce and patriotically washed it all down with way too much cerveza Pacifico con limoacuten y sal

Then my tastes grew more sophisticated and cosmopolitan Olas Altas beckoned Next thing I know the magic of historic old town

has captivated me the Plazuela Machado has blossomed into a cultural mecca and Irsquom becoming an opera fan Everywhere I look I see fellow Norteamericanos walking around with the same love-struck looks on their faces and next thing you know the place is overrun with foreigners

After giving my anthropological and transcultural itches some deep scratching I found myself appreciating more and more the soulless plastic comforts of the Zona Dorada The beer is colder the sand is prettier and there are more restaurants with air conditioning and familiar sports on TV Once you got all that youthful craving for adventure out of your system why not spend a little more and pamper yourself

And now in the October of my years I find therersquos no place like home Thanks to the marvelous modern telephoneInternetbig TVOn line banking combination there is no need to ever go outside anymore Pretty much anything on Godrsquos green earth can be found or ordered the only limit is the imagination and the credit card Every year they come up with more gadgets that immediately become indispensable for everyday life Itrsquos gotten to the point that if I want to know if itrsquos raining or not I go to the weather page rather than open the door and let all that nice cool AC escape Irsquom glad all this stupefying technology waited until the sedentary reminiscent stage of my life to appear at least I accomplished a few things before turning into a small-screen zombie But I fear for

the youngsters who donrsquot know how anything feels just how it looks on their dumb phones

At least here in Mazatlaacuten we have great Wi-Fi service I used to think of Telmex as being one of the great corporate villains right up there with Halliburton and Nestle but the old fat cat Carlos Slim has really gotten his act together in the last few years and Meacutexico enjoys some of the best and cheapest home phoneWi-Fi service in the world Now itrsquos Telcel that is the arch villain of the communications world but donrsquot get me started thatrsquos a whole another story

Anyhow whatever it is yoursquore looking for (except alpine skiing I mean letrsquos be reasonable) Mazatlaacuten has it whether itrsquos surfing the waves or surfing the net

Married in Meacutexico a collection of Mazatlaacuten Jack Pacific Pearl columns going back ten to fourteen years is now available electronically at amazoncom only 299 USD Stock up while supplies last

Mazatlaacuten reminds me of a calendar one thatrsquos full of plans which prompt her inhabitants

to be bursting with anticipation all times of the year Shersquos like a department store always preparing for the next event to attract customers the holiday times the fabricated celebrations like Comedy Night bands singing their tunes around the city Ah yes This is the seasonal city one with two major seasons summer and winter

We look forward to the spring when the colorful birds grace us with their visits and we near the summer storms that transport ferocious rain showers down over our heads bringing us lush green terrain within 48 hours Not that our heads grow a green terrain that would be weird Seriously thoughhellip I can look to the east and the brown hills literally turn green with two of these wet outbursts Amazing Oh I just love the storms Mind you my body does this weird thing in the summer referred by some as becoming a sweaty wet mess but still I am content here Yes spring brings us exotic birds but at the same time our northern human friends leave us Itrsquos a bittersweet transition to summer for those of us who remain in this unique land

What is that song ldquoHello I love youhellip wonrsquot you blah blahhellip blah blahrdquo And then therersquos ldquoBreaking up is hard to dohelliprdquo The first song is for the stunning feathery

creatures that have reservations to stay here during our hot times the second is for our new and old friends who are beginning to make their exodus to the north

Itlsquos much easier to write a novel during this time as I do much less socializing I find it effortless to adapt So with that said I feel as though I have the same attitude as my city I welcome each new event that the calendar dictates me to look forward to Does this kind of thinking make me the customer that the department store is trying to attract Hmm thatrsquos an interesting thought ldquoI am a robot moving with the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Itrsquos time to change again In the next few months my city will have her arms out to embrace your return and the winter events in the city will begin For those of you that are beginning to

think about what to pack for your winter home retreat I can imagine the excitement the utter exhilaration you must feel You will soon fly into this magical city once more

Such a wonderful cycle this is I realize this type of existence is anywhere everywhere but somehow here in Mazatlaacuten it seems

more prominentLike that department store the

anticipation of the holidays then Carnaval Semana Santa (Holy Week ~ Easter)hellip we will do this again Life is grand but to me it is also full of rich moments either with the colorful birds or the people who spend their winter months down here Each season gives us something different to enjoy

New memories In closing this city looks forward to

the return of your migrating snow birds Irsquom beginning to feel the expectations in the air The humidity will soon leave this little town and there will be lots of music to hear in the evenings Boy oh boy can life get any better I donrsquot believe so

Bienvenido --Ahhh

ldquoI am a robot movIng wIth the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Bread of Dead or ldquoPan de MuertordquoA Mexican traditionBakers create many different designs of Bread of the Dead a sweet egg bread decorated with white frosting which are placed on the altars and also shared by members of the family locals and travelers

Dear Love DoctorsMy spouse was away most of the time of our long term marriage that I hardly know him anymore He recently retired and I am still working Over the years I involved myself with groups of interest to me Need ideas on how to get to know him again

Dear Need IdeasKnow that there will be an adjustment

period for both of you and it will take time and he will have to get to know you again too Keep your friendships and groups and invite your spouse to join you Find out what his interests are and involve yourself in his activities Learn and enjoy by taking turns doing what the other likes

Dear Love DoctorsHow do I help a friend who has a lot

of negatives in her home life Wondering how to help

Dear WonderingTell your friend you will be there for

her if she needs to talk Invite your friend out to events you know she likes (Eg Movies art shows etc) Build self esteem by giving her positive feedback when you talk to her Send your friend a card in the mail with a picture of something she likes (Eg Flowers dogs cats etc) and write ldquoThinking of yourdquo or ldquoJust becauserdquo or a personal note Sometimes in todayrsquos world of electronic communication we forget that some people still appreciate a gesture of this kind

Dear Love DoctorsWe thought we were going to have a good income when we retired but with the cost of everything keeps going up and it is getting very hard to meet day to day expenses Thus we donrsquot have much if any discretionary funds to enjoy the things we used to We feel trapped in a downward spiral

Dear TrappedUnfortunately your situation is

becoming more and more the norm Check out community centers for events and list all the ones that are free For example movies in the park local theater groups etc Often the library will have free events Volunteering is a good way to meet people and get information on events The old saying ldquothe more the merrierrdquo may apply from a group there may be others who are in the same situation Have a pot luck supper and rotate the venue with others in the group Be creative and enjoy

Are you currently going through a break up

separation divorce or the loss of someone you love

If so let me first say my heartrsquos with you and also therersquos no better time for you to consider doing a cleanse a detox from everything bad that is poisoning you

Sadness stress resentment and anger all causes the liver to secrete toxins within our system As if everything else wasnrsquot enough your own body attacks and fights itself when smothered with negative feelings

Veggies such as broccoli cauliflower kale cabbage and bok choy contain phytonutrients that help your body produce more glutathione an important antioxidant that helps prevent damage to important cellular components Other detox-friendly foods include dandelion greens which improve the flow of bile in the liver celery which increases urine output and cilantro which can help remove heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body Add a cup of green tea and you got yourself a winning combo

Another essential part of the healing process is to sleep (oh the sacrifices we make)

While yoursquore asleep your brainrsquos waste-removal team called the glymphatic system is working overtime according to research from the University of Rochester Medical Center Toxic proteins linked to Alzheimerrsquos disease build up while yoursquore awake and getting adequate shut-eye is key to making sure theyrsquore cleared out as quickly and efficiently as possible

For an extra kick if yoursquore currently trying to detox aim to spend 10 to 15

minutes in a sauna two to three times a week Treat yourself with a professional massage Make sure you drink enough water and stay hydrated Check with your doctor beforehand if you have a medical condition

Look at each meal as a chance to heal by eating the right foods you are helping your body mind and soul to recover from any kind of shock it is you are under

Make the best of all the fresh produce at hand in town stay away from chain food restaurants and go local

This is hard to do but try and stay positive soon your thoughts will become your words your words will become your attitude and you already know how that goes Remember you are a forest you might be burnt or chopped down but you will flourish back have faith give it time and breathe just breathe

ldquoas If everythIng else wasnrsquot enough your

own body attacks and fIghts It self

when smothered wIth negatIve feelIngsrdquo

Sauces- Browned Butter By Christine Yerbic

1 cube Butter (4 oz)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced

METHOD1 Melt butter in a medium skillet

over medium low heat 2 Continue cooking for about 10

minutes stirring and shaking the pan constantly until the butter is golden brown

3 For a clearer sauce strain the browned butter through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl

4 Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the minced parsley

A fine sauce is the art and essences to cooking The word ldquoSaucerdquo is a French

word that means ldquoa relish to make food more appetizing enhance and to compliment by bringing out the flavor of the food it is served withrdquo

A sauce can be a liquid cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods The French are credited for refining the sophisticated art of sauce-making

There are hundreds of different sauces all are classified under one of 5 - ldquoMother Saucesrdquo These 5 basic sauces are 1) the white sauce ldquoBechamelrdquo 2) the light stock based chicken ldquoVelouterdquo 3) the brown stock based ldquoEspagnolrdquo 4) the two based ldquoEmulsifiedrdquo sauces ldquo Hollandaise rdquo ampldquoMayonnaise 5) the oil and vinegar based ldquoVinaigretterdquo

Tomato Sauce is now considered

to be an addition to the 5 Mother Sauces since it is the base for a large variety of sauces in todayrsquos cooking

Sauces derived from one of the Mother Sauces are called a secondary sauce such as the browned butter sauce Literally there are hundreds of variations such as pan sauces purees salsas Asian dipping sauces dessert sauces to the traditional American Giblet Gravy served with the Thanksgiving Turkey

Browned Butter Sauce is simply melted butter that has been simmering over low heat until butter has turned Golden brown

The taste is bigger of butter with a nutty flavor and the aroma is enticing Steamed vegetables taste bolder with a brown butter drizzle For a simple Pasta Sauce toss browned butter with hot pasta for a quick and easy topping

Welcome back We have endured a long

hot and humid summer and are looking forward to a weather change for sure Even with our hot temperatures we had a busy time Our summer visitors from all over Meacutexico seem to have exploded This summer proved to be great for the hotels restaurant and shops here in Mazatlaacuten

REAL ESTATEThe real estate industry did very

well too with many sales to Nationals in the 1-2 million pesos range New projects seem to be selling well and new businesses are popping up all over

Although this buyerrsquos market continues the fast-paced growth of Mazatlaacuten will slowly eat up our supply and prices will rise The exchange rate has hurt us for National and Canadian buyers in the mid-range market but proves to be helpful for those selling We anticipate more and more American buyers due to the strong USD

Investing in a home or condominium could not be better right now The seasonal rental market is very strong with many agencies and owners reporting that they are booked solid through April of 2016 This is a great way to cover your expenses while still being able to visit and enjoy your home in paradise

BUYING PROCESSFor anyone not familiar with the

buying process here do not let it daunt you As a foreigner there are any special requirements such as a bank trust (Fideicomiso) and what seems like a lot of ID and paperwork The great news is that it is relatively easy due to the wonderful notarios (similar to lawyersescrow process) we have here They take care of the secondary (after contracting) paperwork and all the legalities for you

As long as you have a great Realtor (us) and a notary-you are in business

FLIGHTSOur accessibility is getting better as

well Westjet has moved direct Canadian flights up one month and there are many flights now to Guadalajera Cabo and more The ability to easily fly in and out of our great city will increase our tourism and expand numbers greatly

FIESTANovember will be a special month

for us as CanAmerican International Real Estate We will be celebrating our 1st anniversary of our Mazatlaacuten offices Stay tuned for our celebration announcements

We look forward to a busy buying and selling season and hope to hear from you soon

Howdy Irsquom Mazatlaacuten Jack and Irsquoll be doing the Stranger in Paradise column for the

foreseeable future You hopefully never heard of me but some of the older readers might remember my illustrious brother Monterrey Jack

Anyhow Irsquove been hanging around this old town for too long maybe but I canrsquot think of a better place to get stuck for the duration Itrsquos got something for everybody at every stage of life

Imagine how cool it must be to grow up in Mazatlaacuten Dozens of miles of beaches within the city limits and not a snow shovel anywhere An expansive sea walk you can skateboard and bike along endlessly A week off school for Carnival every year and two weeks off for Easter Totally awesome Like the song Corrido de Mazatlaacuten proclaims here even the poor folk feel like millionaires

My first couple of years in Maz I covered the waterfront Playa Norte was my haunt rambling from the Fishermanrsquos Monument to Valentinorsquos and back I never missed a sunset went body surfing in wintertime eschewed touristy type places in the flavors of the rustic and exotic palapas shopped at the Mercado Central ate raw shellfish swimming in hot sauce and patriotically washed it all down with way too much cerveza Pacifico con limoacuten y sal

Then my tastes grew more sophisticated and cosmopolitan Olas Altas beckoned Next thing I know the magic of historic old town

has captivated me the Plazuela Machado has blossomed into a cultural mecca and Irsquom becoming an opera fan Everywhere I look I see fellow Norteamericanos walking around with the same love-struck looks on their faces and next thing you know the place is overrun with foreigners

After giving my anthropological and transcultural itches some deep scratching I found myself appreciating more and more the soulless plastic comforts of the Zona Dorada The beer is colder the sand is prettier and there are more restaurants with air conditioning and familiar sports on TV Once you got all that youthful craving for adventure out of your system why not spend a little more and pamper yourself

And now in the October of my years I find therersquos no place like home Thanks to the marvelous modern telephoneInternetbig TVOn line banking combination there is no need to ever go outside anymore Pretty much anything on Godrsquos green earth can be found or ordered the only limit is the imagination and the credit card Every year they come up with more gadgets that immediately become indispensable for everyday life Itrsquos gotten to the point that if I want to know if itrsquos raining or not I go to the weather page rather than open the door and let all that nice cool AC escape Irsquom glad all this stupefying technology waited until the sedentary reminiscent stage of my life to appear at least I accomplished a few things before turning into a small-screen zombie But I fear for

the youngsters who donrsquot know how anything feels just how it looks on their dumb phones

At least here in Mazatlaacuten we have great Wi-Fi service I used to think of Telmex as being one of the great corporate villains right up there with Halliburton and Nestle but the old fat cat Carlos Slim has really gotten his act together in the last few years and Meacutexico enjoys some of the best and cheapest home phoneWi-Fi service in the world Now itrsquos Telcel that is the arch villain of the communications world but donrsquot get me started thatrsquos a whole another story

Anyhow whatever it is yoursquore looking for (except alpine skiing I mean letrsquos be reasonable) Mazatlaacuten has it whether itrsquos surfing the waves or surfing the net

Married in Meacutexico a collection of Mazatlaacuten Jack Pacific Pearl columns going back ten to fourteen years is now available electronically at amazoncom only 299 USD Stock up while supplies last

Mazatlaacuten reminds me of a calendar one thatrsquos full of plans which prompt her inhabitants

to be bursting with anticipation all times of the year Shersquos like a department store always preparing for the next event to attract customers the holiday times the fabricated celebrations like Comedy Night bands singing their tunes around the city Ah yes This is the seasonal city one with two major seasons summer and winter

We look forward to the spring when the colorful birds grace us with their visits and we near the summer storms that transport ferocious rain showers down over our heads bringing us lush green terrain within 48 hours Not that our heads grow a green terrain that would be weird Seriously thoughhellip I can look to the east and the brown hills literally turn green with two of these wet outbursts Amazing Oh I just love the storms Mind you my body does this weird thing in the summer referred by some as becoming a sweaty wet mess but still I am content here Yes spring brings us exotic birds but at the same time our northern human friends leave us Itrsquos a bittersweet transition to summer for those of us who remain in this unique land

What is that song ldquoHello I love youhellip wonrsquot you blah blahhellip blah blahrdquo And then therersquos ldquoBreaking up is hard to dohelliprdquo The first song is for the stunning feathery

creatures that have reservations to stay here during our hot times the second is for our new and old friends who are beginning to make their exodus to the north

Itlsquos much easier to write a novel during this time as I do much less socializing I find it effortless to adapt So with that said I feel as though I have the same attitude as my city I welcome each new event that the calendar dictates me to look forward to Does this kind of thinking make me the customer that the department store is trying to attract Hmm thatrsquos an interesting thought ldquoI am a robot moving with the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Itrsquos time to change again In the next few months my city will have her arms out to embrace your return and the winter events in the city will begin For those of you that are beginning to

think about what to pack for your winter home retreat I can imagine the excitement the utter exhilaration you must feel You will soon fly into this magical city once more

Such a wonderful cycle this is I realize this type of existence is anywhere everywhere but somehow here in Mazatlaacuten it seems

more prominentLike that department store the

anticipation of the holidays then Carnaval Semana Santa (Holy Week ~ Easter)hellip we will do this again Life is grand but to me it is also full of rich moments either with the colorful birds or the people who spend their winter months down here Each season gives us something different to enjoy

New memories In closing this city looks forward to

the return of your migrating snow birds Irsquom beginning to feel the expectations in the air The humidity will soon leave this little town and there will be lots of music to hear in the evenings Boy oh boy can life get any better I donrsquot believe so

Bienvenido --Ahhh

ldquoI am a robot movIng wIth the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Dear Love DoctorsMy spouse was away most of the time of our long term marriage that I hardly know him anymore He recently retired and I am still working Over the years I involved myself with groups of interest to me Need ideas on how to get to know him again

Dear Need IdeasKnow that there will be an adjustment

period for both of you and it will take time and he will have to get to know you again too Keep your friendships and groups and invite your spouse to join you Find out what his interests are and involve yourself in his activities Learn and enjoy by taking turns doing what the other likes

Dear Love DoctorsHow do I help a friend who has a lot

of negatives in her home life Wondering how to help

Dear WonderingTell your friend you will be there for

her if she needs to talk Invite your friend out to events you know she likes (Eg Movies art shows etc) Build self esteem by giving her positive feedback when you talk to her Send your friend a card in the mail with a picture of something she likes (Eg Flowers dogs cats etc) and write ldquoThinking of yourdquo or ldquoJust becauserdquo or a personal note Sometimes in todayrsquos world of electronic communication we forget that some people still appreciate a gesture of this kind

Dear Love DoctorsWe thought we were going to have a good income when we retired but with the cost of everything keeps going up and it is getting very hard to meet day to day expenses Thus we donrsquot have much if any discretionary funds to enjoy the things we used to We feel trapped in a downward spiral

Dear TrappedUnfortunately your situation is

becoming more and more the norm Check out community centers for events and list all the ones that are free For example movies in the park local theater groups etc Often the library will have free events Volunteering is a good way to meet people and get information on events The old saying ldquothe more the merrierrdquo may apply from a group there may be others who are in the same situation Have a pot luck supper and rotate the venue with others in the group Be creative and enjoy

Are you currently going through a break up

separation divorce or the loss of someone you love

If so let me first say my heartrsquos with you and also therersquos no better time for you to consider doing a cleanse a detox from everything bad that is poisoning you

Sadness stress resentment and anger all causes the liver to secrete toxins within our system As if everything else wasnrsquot enough your own body attacks and fights itself when smothered with negative feelings

Veggies such as broccoli cauliflower kale cabbage and bok choy contain phytonutrients that help your body produce more glutathione an important antioxidant that helps prevent damage to important cellular components Other detox-friendly foods include dandelion greens which improve the flow of bile in the liver celery which increases urine output and cilantro which can help remove heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body Add a cup of green tea and you got yourself a winning combo

Another essential part of the healing process is to sleep (oh the sacrifices we make)

While yoursquore asleep your brainrsquos waste-removal team called the glymphatic system is working overtime according to research from the University of Rochester Medical Center Toxic proteins linked to Alzheimerrsquos disease build up while yoursquore awake and getting adequate shut-eye is key to making sure theyrsquore cleared out as quickly and efficiently as possible

For an extra kick if yoursquore currently trying to detox aim to spend 10 to 15

minutes in a sauna two to three times a week Treat yourself with a professional massage Make sure you drink enough water and stay hydrated Check with your doctor beforehand if you have a medical condition

Look at each meal as a chance to heal by eating the right foods you are helping your body mind and soul to recover from any kind of shock it is you are under

Make the best of all the fresh produce at hand in town stay away from chain food restaurants and go local

This is hard to do but try and stay positive soon your thoughts will become your words your words will become your attitude and you already know how that goes Remember you are a forest you might be burnt or chopped down but you will flourish back have faith give it time and breathe just breathe

ldquoas If everythIng else wasnrsquot enough your

own body attacks and fIghts It self

when smothered wIth negatIve feelIngsrdquo

Sauces- Browned Butter By Christine Yerbic

1 cube Butter (4 oz)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced

METHOD1 Melt butter in a medium skillet

over medium low heat 2 Continue cooking for about 10

minutes stirring and shaking the pan constantly until the butter is golden brown

3 For a clearer sauce strain the browned butter through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl

4 Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the minced parsley

A fine sauce is the art and essences to cooking The word ldquoSaucerdquo is a French

word that means ldquoa relish to make food more appetizing enhance and to compliment by bringing out the flavor of the food it is served withrdquo

A sauce can be a liquid cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods The French are credited for refining the sophisticated art of sauce-making

There are hundreds of different sauces all are classified under one of 5 - ldquoMother Saucesrdquo These 5 basic sauces are 1) the white sauce ldquoBechamelrdquo 2) the light stock based chicken ldquoVelouterdquo 3) the brown stock based ldquoEspagnolrdquo 4) the two based ldquoEmulsifiedrdquo sauces ldquo Hollandaise rdquo ampldquoMayonnaise 5) the oil and vinegar based ldquoVinaigretterdquo

Tomato Sauce is now considered

to be an addition to the 5 Mother Sauces since it is the base for a large variety of sauces in todayrsquos cooking

Sauces derived from one of the Mother Sauces are called a secondary sauce such as the browned butter sauce Literally there are hundreds of variations such as pan sauces purees salsas Asian dipping sauces dessert sauces to the traditional American Giblet Gravy served with the Thanksgiving Turkey

Browned Butter Sauce is simply melted butter that has been simmering over low heat until butter has turned Golden brown

The taste is bigger of butter with a nutty flavor and the aroma is enticing Steamed vegetables taste bolder with a brown butter drizzle For a simple Pasta Sauce toss browned butter with hot pasta for a quick and easy topping

Welcome back We have endured a long

hot and humid summer and are looking forward to a weather change for sure Even with our hot temperatures we had a busy time Our summer visitors from all over Meacutexico seem to have exploded This summer proved to be great for the hotels restaurant and shops here in Mazatlaacuten

REAL ESTATEThe real estate industry did very

well too with many sales to Nationals in the 1-2 million pesos range New projects seem to be selling well and new businesses are popping up all over

Although this buyerrsquos market continues the fast-paced growth of Mazatlaacuten will slowly eat up our supply and prices will rise The exchange rate has hurt us for National and Canadian buyers in the mid-range market but proves to be helpful for those selling We anticipate more and more American buyers due to the strong USD

Investing in a home or condominium could not be better right now The seasonal rental market is very strong with many agencies and owners reporting that they are booked solid through April of 2016 This is a great way to cover your expenses while still being able to visit and enjoy your home in paradise

BUYING PROCESSFor anyone not familiar with the

buying process here do not let it daunt you As a foreigner there are any special requirements such as a bank trust (Fideicomiso) and what seems like a lot of ID and paperwork The great news is that it is relatively easy due to the wonderful notarios (similar to lawyersescrow process) we have here They take care of the secondary (after contracting) paperwork and all the legalities for you

As long as you have a great Realtor (us) and a notary-you are in business

FLIGHTSOur accessibility is getting better as

well Westjet has moved direct Canadian flights up one month and there are many flights now to Guadalajera Cabo and more The ability to easily fly in and out of our great city will increase our tourism and expand numbers greatly

FIESTANovember will be a special month

for us as CanAmerican International Real Estate We will be celebrating our 1st anniversary of our Mazatlaacuten offices Stay tuned for our celebration announcements

We look forward to a busy buying and selling season and hope to hear from you soon

Howdy Irsquom Mazatlaacuten Jack and Irsquoll be doing the Stranger in Paradise column for the

foreseeable future You hopefully never heard of me but some of the older readers might remember my illustrious brother Monterrey Jack

Anyhow Irsquove been hanging around this old town for too long maybe but I canrsquot think of a better place to get stuck for the duration Itrsquos got something for everybody at every stage of life

Imagine how cool it must be to grow up in Mazatlaacuten Dozens of miles of beaches within the city limits and not a snow shovel anywhere An expansive sea walk you can skateboard and bike along endlessly A week off school for Carnival every year and two weeks off for Easter Totally awesome Like the song Corrido de Mazatlaacuten proclaims here even the poor folk feel like millionaires

My first couple of years in Maz I covered the waterfront Playa Norte was my haunt rambling from the Fishermanrsquos Monument to Valentinorsquos and back I never missed a sunset went body surfing in wintertime eschewed touristy type places in the flavors of the rustic and exotic palapas shopped at the Mercado Central ate raw shellfish swimming in hot sauce and patriotically washed it all down with way too much cerveza Pacifico con limoacuten y sal

Then my tastes grew more sophisticated and cosmopolitan Olas Altas beckoned Next thing I know the magic of historic old town

has captivated me the Plazuela Machado has blossomed into a cultural mecca and Irsquom becoming an opera fan Everywhere I look I see fellow Norteamericanos walking around with the same love-struck looks on their faces and next thing you know the place is overrun with foreigners

After giving my anthropological and transcultural itches some deep scratching I found myself appreciating more and more the soulless plastic comforts of the Zona Dorada The beer is colder the sand is prettier and there are more restaurants with air conditioning and familiar sports on TV Once you got all that youthful craving for adventure out of your system why not spend a little more and pamper yourself

And now in the October of my years I find therersquos no place like home Thanks to the marvelous modern telephoneInternetbig TVOn line banking combination there is no need to ever go outside anymore Pretty much anything on Godrsquos green earth can be found or ordered the only limit is the imagination and the credit card Every year they come up with more gadgets that immediately become indispensable for everyday life Itrsquos gotten to the point that if I want to know if itrsquos raining or not I go to the weather page rather than open the door and let all that nice cool AC escape Irsquom glad all this stupefying technology waited until the sedentary reminiscent stage of my life to appear at least I accomplished a few things before turning into a small-screen zombie But I fear for

the youngsters who donrsquot know how anything feels just how it looks on their dumb phones

At least here in Mazatlaacuten we have great Wi-Fi service I used to think of Telmex as being one of the great corporate villains right up there with Halliburton and Nestle but the old fat cat Carlos Slim has really gotten his act together in the last few years and Meacutexico enjoys some of the best and cheapest home phoneWi-Fi service in the world Now itrsquos Telcel that is the arch villain of the communications world but donrsquot get me started thatrsquos a whole another story

Anyhow whatever it is yoursquore looking for (except alpine skiing I mean letrsquos be reasonable) Mazatlaacuten has it whether itrsquos surfing the waves or surfing the net

Married in Meacutexico a collection of Mazatlaacuten Jack Pacific Pearl columns going back ten to fourteen years is now available electronically at amazoncom only 299 USD Stock up while supplies last

Mazatlaacuten reminds me of a calendar one thatrsquos full of plans which prompt her inhabitants

to be bursting with anticipation all times of the year Shersquos like a department store always preparing for the next event to attract customers the holiday times the fabricated celebrations like Comedy Night bands singing their tunes around the city Ah yes This is the seasonal city one with two major seasons summer and winter

We look forward to the spring when the colorful birds grace us with their visits and we near the summer storms that transport ferocious rain showers down over our heads bringing us lush green terrain within 48 hours Not that our heads grow a green terrain that would be weird Seriously thoughhellip I can look to the east and the brown hills literally turn green with two of these wet outbursts Amazing Oh I just love the storms Mind you my body does this weird thing in the summer referred by some as becoming a sweaty wet mess but still I am content here Yes spring brings us exotic birds but at the same time our northern human friends leave us Itrsquos a bittersweet transition to summer for those of us who remain in this unique land

What is that song ldquoHello I love youhellip wonrsquot you blah blahhellip blah blahrdquo And then therersquos ldquoBreaking up is hard to dohelliprdquo The first song is for the stunning feathery

creatures that have reservations to stay here during our hot times the second is for our new and old friends who are beginning to make their exodus to the north

Itlsquos much easier to write a novel during this time as I do much less socializing I find it effortless to adapt So with that said I feel as though I have the same attitude as my city I welcome each new event that the calendar dictates me to look forward to Does this kind of thinking make me the customer that the department store is trying to attract Hmm thatrsquos an interesting thought ldquoI am a robot moving with the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Itrsquos time to change again In the next few months my city will have her arms out to embrace your return and the winter events in the city will begin For those of you that are beginning to

think about what to pack for your winter home retreat I can imagine the excitement the utter exhilaration you must feel You will soon fly into this magical city once more

Such a wonderful cycle this is I realize this type of existence is anywhere everywhere but somehow here in Mazatlaacuten it seems

more prominentLike that department store the

anticipation of the holidays then Carnaval Semana Santa (Holy Week ~ Easter)hellip we will do this again Life is grand but to me it is also full of rich moments either with the colorful birds or the people who spend their winter months down here Each season gives us something different to enjoy

New memories In closing this city looks forward to

the return of your migrating snow birds Irsquom beginning to feel the expectations in the air The humidity will soon leave this little town and there will be lots of music to hear in the evenings Boy oh boy can life get any better I donrsquot believe so

Bienvenido --Ahhh

ldquoI am a robot movIng wIth the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Dear Love DoctorsMy spouse was away most of the time of our long term marriage that I hardly know him anymore He recently retired and I am still working Over the years I involved myself with groups of interest to me Need ideas on how to get to know him again

Dear Need IdeasKnow that there will be an adjustment

period for both of you and it will take time and he will have to get to know you again too Keep your friendships and groups and invite your spouse to join you Find out what his interests are and involve yourself in his activities Learn and enjoy by taking turns doing what the other likes

Dear Love DoctorsHow do I help a friend who has a lot

of negatives in her home life Wondering how to help

Dear WonderingTell your friend you will be there for

her if she needs to talk Invite your friend out to events you know she likes (Eg Movies art shows etc) Build self esteem by giving her positive feedback when you talk to her Send your friend a card in the mail with a picture of something she likes (Eg Flowers dogs cats etc) and write ldquoThinking of yourdquo or ldquoJust becauserdquo or a personal note Sometimes in todayrsquos world of electronic communication we forget that some people still appreciate a gesture of this kind

Dear Love DoctorsWe thought we were going to have a good income when we retired but with the cost of everything keeps going up and it is getting very hard to meet day to day expenses Thus we donrsquot have much if any discretionary funds to enjoy the things we used to We feel trapped in a downward spiral

Dear TrappedUnfortunately your situation is

becoming more and more the norm Check out community centers for events and list all the ones that are free For example movies in the park local theater groups etc Often the library will have free events Volunteering is a good way to meet people and get information on events The old saying ldquothe more the merrierrdquo may apply from a group there may be others who are in the same situation Have a pot luck supper and rotate the venue with others in the group Be creative and enjoy

Are you currently going through a break up

separation divorce or the loss of someone you love

If so let me first say my heartrsquos with you and also therersquos no better time for you to consider doing a cleanse a detox from everything bad that is poisoning you

Sadness stress resentment and anger all causes the liver to secrete toxins within our system As if everything else wasnrsquot enough your own body attacks and fights itself when smothered with negative feelings

Veggies such as broccoli cauliflower kale cabbage and bok choy contain phytonutrients that help your body produce more glutathione an important antioxidant that helps prevent damage to important cellular components Other detox-friendly foods include dandelion greens which improve the flow of bile in the liver celery which increases urine output and cilantro which can help remove heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body Add a cup of green tea and you got yourself a winning combo

Another essential part of the healing process is to sleep (oh the sacrifices we make)

While yoursquore asleep your brainrsquos waste-removal team called the glymphatic system is working overtime according to research from the University of Rochester Medical Center Toxic proteins linked to Alzheimerrsquos disease build up while yoursquore awake and getting adequate shut-eye is key to making sure theyrsquore cleared out as quickly and efficiently as possible

For an extra kick if yoursquore currently trying to detox aim to spend 10 to 15

minutes in a sauna two to three times a week Treat yourself with a professional massage Make sure you drink enough water and stay hydrated Check with your doctor beforehand if you have a medical condition

Look at each meal as a chance to heal by eating the right foods you are helping your body mind and soul to recover from any kind of shock it is you are under

Make the best of all the fresh produce at hand in town stay away from chain food restaurants and go local

This is hard to do but try and stay positive soon your thoughts will become your words your words will become your attitude and you already know how that goes Remember you are a forest you might be burnt or chopped down but you will flourish back have faith give it time and breathe just breathe

ldquoas If everythIng else wasnrsquot enough your

own body attacks and fIghts It self

when smothered wIth negatIve feelIngsrdquo

Sauces- Browned Butter By Christine Yerbic

1 cube Butter (4 oz)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced

METHOD1 Melt butter in a medium skillet

over medium low heat 2 Continue cooking for about 10

minutes stirring and shaking the pan constantly until the butter is golden brown

3 For a clearer sauce strain the browned butter through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl

4 Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the minced parsley

A fine sauce is the art and essences to cooking The word ldquoSaucerdquo is a French

word that means ldquoa relish to make food more appetizing enhance and to compliment by bringing out the flavor of the food it is served withrdquo

A sauce can be a liquid cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods The French are credited for refining the sophisticated art of sauce-making

There are hundreds of different sauces all are classified under one of 5 - ldquoMother Saucesrdquo These 5 basic sauces are 1) the white sauce ldquoBechamelrdquo 2) the light stock based chicken ldquoVelouterdquo 3) the brown stock based ldquoEspagnolrdquo 4) the two based ldquoEmulsifiedrdquo sauces ldquo Hollandaise rdquo ampldquoMayonnaise 5) the oil and vinegar based ldquoVinaigretterdquo

Tomato Sauce is now considered

to be an addition to the 5 Mother Sauces since it is the base for a large variety of sauces in todayrsquos cooking

Sauces derived from one of the Mother Sauces are called a secondary sauce such as the browned butter sauce Literally there are hundreds of variations such as pan sauces purees salsas Asian dipping sauces dessert sauces to the traditional American Giblet Gravy served with the Thanksgiving Turkey

Browned Butter Sauce is simply melted butter that has been simmering over low heat until butter has turned Golden brown

The taste is bigger of butter with a nutty flavor and the aroma is enticing Steamed vegetables taste bolder with a brown butter drizzle For a simple Pasta Sauce toss browned butter with hot pasta for a quick and easy topping

Welcome back We have endured a long

hot and humid summer and are looking forward to a weather change for sure Even with our hot temperatures we had a busy time Our summer visitors from all over Meacutexico seem to have exploded This summer proved to be great for the hotels restaurant and shops here in Mazatlaacuten

REAL ESTATEThe real estate industry did very

well too with many sales to Nationals in the 1-2 million pesos range New projects seem to be selling well and new businesses are popping up all over

Although this buyerrsquos market continues the fast-paced growth of Mazatlaacuten will slowly eat up our supply and prices will rise The exchange rate has hurt us for National and Canadian buyers in the mid-range market but proves to be helpful for those selling We anticipate more and more American buyers due to the strong USD

Investing in a home or condominium could not be better right now The seasonal rental market is very strong with many agencies and owners reporting that they are booked solid through April of 2016 This is a great way to cover your expenses while still being able to visit and enjoy your home in paradise

BUYING PROCESSFor anyone not familiar with the

buying process here do not let it daunt you As a foreigner there are any special requirements such as a bank trust (Fideicomiso) and what seems like a lot of ID and paperwork The great news is that it is relatively easy due to the wonderful notarios (similar to lawyersescrow process) we have here They take care of the secondary (after contracting) paperwork and all the legalities for you

As long as you have a great Realtor (us) and a notary-you are in business

FLIGHTSOur accessibility is getting better as

well Westjet has moved direct Canadian flights up one month and there are many flights now to Guadalajera Cabo and more The ability to easily fly in and out of our great city will increase our tourism and expand numbers greatly

FIESTANovember will be a special month

for us as CanAmerican International Real Estate We will be celebrating our 1st anniversary of our Mazatlaacuten offices Stay tuned for our celebration announcements

We look forward to a busy buying and selling season and hope to hear from you soon

Howdy Irsquom Mazatlaacuten Jack and Irsquoll be doing the Stranger in Paradise column for the

foreseeable future You hopefully never heard of me but some of the older readers might remember my illustrious brother Monterrey Jack

Anyhow Irsquove been hanging around this old town for too long maybe but I canrsquot think of a better place to get stuck for the duration Itrsquos got something for everybody at every stage of life

Imagine how cool it must be to grow up in Mazatlaacuten Dozens of miles of beaches within the city limits and not a snow shovel anywhere An expansive sea walk you can skateboard and bike along endlessly A week off school for Carnival every year and two weeks off for Easter Totally awesome Like the song Corrido de Mazatlaacuten proclaims here even the poor folk feel like millionaires

My first couple of years in Maz I covered the waterfront Playa Norte was my haunt rambling from the Fishermanrsquos Monument to Valentinorsquos and back I never missed a sunset went body surfing in wintertime eschewed touristy type places in the flavors of the rustic and exotic palapas shopped at the Mercado Central ate raw shellfish swimming in hot sauce and patriotically washed it all down with way too much cerveza Pacifico con limoacuten y sal

Then my tastes grew more sophisticated and cosmopolitan Olas Altas beckoned Next thing I know the magic of historic old town

has captivated me the Plazuela Machado has blossomed into a cultural mecca and Irsquom becoming an opera fan Everywhere I look I see fellow Norteamericanos walking around with the same love-struck looks on their faces and next thing you know the place is overrun with foreigners

After giving my anthropological and transcultural itches some deep scratching I found myself appreciating more and more the soulless plastic comforts of the Zona Dorada The beer is colder the sand is prettier and there are more restaurants with air conditioning and familiar sports on TV Once you got all that youthful craving for adventure out of your system why not spend a little more and pamper yourself

And now in the October of my years I find therersquos no place like home Thanks to the marvelous modern telephoneInternetbig TVOn line banking combination there is no need to ever go outside anymore Pretty much anything on Godrsquos green earth can be found or ordered the only limit is the imagination and the credit card Every year they come up with more gadgets that immediately become indispensable for everyday life Itrsquos gotten to the point that if I want to know if itrsquos raining or not I go to the weather page rather than open the door and let all that nice cool AC escape Irsquom glad all this stupefying technology waited until the sedentary reminiscent stage of my life to appear at least I accomplished a few things before turning into a small-screen zombie But I fear for

the youngsters who donrsquot know how anything feels just how it looks on their dumb phones

At least here in Mazatlaacuten we have great Wi-Fi service I used to think of Telmex as being one of the great corporate villains right up there with Halliburton and Nestle but the old fat cat Carlos Slim has really gotten his act together in the last few years and Meacutexico enjoys some of the best and cheapest home phoneWi-Fi service in the world Now itrsquos Telcel that is the arch villain of the communications world but donrsquot get me started thatrsquos a whole another story

Anyhow whatever it is yoursquore looking for (except alpine skiing I mean letrsquos be reasonable) Mazatlaacuten has it whether itrsquos surfing the waves or surfing the net

Married in Meacutexico a collection of Mazatlaacuten Jack Pacific Pearl columns going back ten to fourteen years is now available electronically at amazoncom only 299 USD Stock up while supplies last

Mazatlaacuten reminds me of a calendar one thatrsquos full of plans which prompt her inhabitants

to be bursting with anticipation all times of the year Shersquos like a department store always preparing for the next event to attract customers the holiday times the fabricated celebrations like Comedy Night bands singing their tunes around the city Ah yes This is the seasonal city one with two major seasons summer and winter

We look forward to the spring when the colorful birds grace us with their visits and we near the summer storms that transport ferocious rain showers down over our heads bringing us lush green terrain within 48 hours Not that our heads grow a green terrain that would be weird Seriously thoughhellip I can look to the east and the brown hills literally turn green with two of these wet outbursts Amazing Oh I just love the storms Mind you my body does this weird thing in the summer referred by some as becoming a sweaty wet mess but still I am content here Yes spring brings us exotic birds but at the same time our northern human friends leave us Itrsquos a bittersweet transition to summer for those of us who remain in this unique land

What is that song ldquoHello I love youhellip wonrsquot you blah blahhellip blah blahrdquo And then therersquos ldquoBreaking up is hard to dohelliprdquo The first song is for the stunning feathery

creatures that have reservations to stay here during our hot times the second is for our new and old friends who are beginning to make their exodus to the north

Itlsquos much easier to write a novel during this time as I do much less socializing I find it effortless to adapt So with that said I feel as though I have the same attitude as my city I welcome each new event that the calendar dictates me to look forward to Does this kind of thinking make me the customer that the department store is trying to attract Hmm thatrsquos an interesting thought ldquoI am a robot moving with the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Itrsquos time to change again In the next few months my city will have her arms out to embrace your return and the winter events in the city will begin For those of you that are beginning to

think about what to pack for your winter home retreat I can imagine the excitement the utter exhilaration you must feel You will soon fly into this magical city once more

Such a wonderful cycle this is I realize this type of existence is anywhere everywhere but somehow here in Mazatlaacuten it seems

more prominentLike that department store the

anticipation of the holidays then Carnaval Semana Santa (Holy Week ~ Easter)hellip we will do this again Life is grand but to me it is also full of rich moments either with the colorful birds or the people who spend their winter months down here Each season gives us something different to enjoy

New memories In closing this city looks forward to

the return of your migrating snow birds Irsquom beginning to feel the expectations in the air The humidity will soon leave this little town and there will be lots of music to hear in the evenings Boy oh boy can life get any better I donrsquot believe so

Bienvenido --Ahhh

ldquoI am a robot movIng wIth the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Dear Love DoctorsMy spouse was away most of the time of our long term marriage that I hardly know him anymore He recently retired and I am still working Over the years I involved myself with groups of interest to me Need ideas on how to get to know him again

Dear Need IdeasKnow that there will be an adjustment

period for both of you and it will take time and he will have to get to know you again too Keep your friendships and groups and invite your spouse to join you Find out what his interests are and involve yourself in his activities Learn and enjoy by taking turns doing what the other likes

Dear Love DoctorsHow do I help a friend who has a lot

of negatives in her home life Wondering how to help

Dear WonderingTell your friend you will be there for

her if she needs to talk Invite your friend out to events you know she likes (Eg Movies art shows etc) Build self esteem by giving her positive feedback when you talk to her Send your friend a card in the mail with a picture of something she likes (Eg Flowers dogs cats etc) and write ldquoThinking of yourdquo or ldquoJust becauserdquo or a personal note Sometimes in todayrsquos world of electronic communication we forget that some people still appreciate a gesture of this kind

Dear Love DoctorsWe thought we were going to have a good income when we retired but with the cost of everything keeps going up and it is getting very hard to meet day to day expenses Thus we donrsquot have much if any discretionary funds to enjoy the things we used to We feel trapped in a downward spiral

Dear TrappedUnfortunately your situation is

becoming more and more the norm Check out community centers for events and list all the ones that are free For example movies in the park local theater groups etc Often the library will have free events Volunteering is a good way to meet people and get information on events The old saying ldquothe more the merrierrdquo may apply from a group there may be others who are in the same situation Have a pot luck supper and rotate the venue with others in the group Be creative and enjoy

Are you currently going through a break up

separation divorce or the loss of someone you love

If so let me first say my heartrsquos with you and also therersquos no better time for you to consider doing a cleanse a detox from everything bad that is poisoning you

Sadness stress resentment and anger all causes the liver to secrete toxins within our system As if everything else wasnrsquot enough your own body attacks and fights itself when smothered with negative feelings

Veggies such as broccoli cauliflower kale cabbage and bok choy contain phytonutrients that help your body produce more glutathione an important antioxidant that helps prevent damage to important cellular components Other detox-friendly foods include dandelion greens which improve the flow of bile in the liver celery which increases urine output and cilantro which can help remove heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body Add a cup of green tea and you got yourself a winning combo

Another essential part of the healing process is to sleep (oh the sacrifices we make)

While yoursquore asleep your brainrsquos waste-removal team called the glymphatic system is working overtime according to research from the University of Rochester Medical Center Toxic proteins linked to Alzheimerrsquos disease build up while yoursquore awake and getting adequate shut-eye is key to making sure theyrsquore cleared out as quickly and efficiently as possible

For an extra kick if yoursquore currently trying to detox aim to spend 10 to 15

minutes in a sauna two to three times a week Treat yourself with a professional massage Make sure you drink enough water and stay hydrated Check with your doctor beforehand if you have a medical condition

Look at each meal as a chance to heal by eating the right foods you are helping your body mind and soul to recover from any kind of shock it is you are under

Make the best of all the fresh produce at hand in town stay away from chain food restaurants and go local

This is hard to do but try and stay positive soon your thoughts will become your words your words will become your attitude and you already know how that goes Remember you are a forest you might be burnt or chopped down but you will flourish back have faith give it time and breathe just breathe

ldquoas If everythIng else wasnrsquot enough your

own body attacks and fIghts It self

when smothered wIth negatIve feelIngsrdquo

Sauces- Browned Butter By Christine Yerbic

1 cube Butter (4 oz)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced

METHOD1 Melt butter in a medium skillet

over medium low heat 2 Continue cooking for about 10

minutes stirring and shaking the pan constantly until the butter is golden brown

3 For a clearer sauce strain the browned butter through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl

4 Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the minced parsley

A fine sauce is the art and essences to cooking The word ldquoSaucerdquo is a French

word that means ldquoa relish to make food more appetizing enhance and to compliment by bringing out the flavor of the food it is served withrdquo

A sauce can be a liquid cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods The French are credited for refining the sophisticated art of sauce-making

There are hundreds of different sauces all are classified under one of 5 - ldquoMother Saucesrdquo These 5 basic sauces are 1) the white sauce ldquoBechamelrdquo 2) the light stock based chicken ldquoVelouterdquo 3) the brown stock based ldquoEspagnolrdquo 4) the two based ldquoEmulsifiedrdquo sauces ldquo Hollandaise rdquo ampldquoMayonnaise 5) the oil and vinegar based ldquoVinaigretterdquo

Tomato Sauce is now considered

to be an addition to the 5 Mother Sauces since it is the base for a large variety of sauces in todayrsquos cooking

Sauces derived from one of the Mother Sauces are called a secondary sauce such as the browned butter sauce Literally there are hundreds of variations such as pan sauces purees salsas Asian dipping sauces dessert sauces to the traditional American Giblet Gravy served with the Thanksgiving Turkey

Browned Butter Sauce is simply melted butter that has been simmering over low heat until butter has turned Golden brown

The taste is bigger of butter with a nutty flavor and the aroma is enticing Steamed vegetables taste bolder with a brown butter drizzle For a simple Pasta Sauce toss browned butter with hot pasta for a quick and easy topping

Welcome back We have endured a long

hot and humid summer and are looking forward to a weather change for sure Even with our hot temperatures we had a busy time Our summer visitors from all over Meacutexico seem to have exploded This summer proved to be great for the hotels restaurant and shops here in Mazatlaacuten

REAL ESTATEThe real estate industry did very

well too with many sales to Nationals in the 1-2 million pesos range New projects seem to be selling well and new businesses are popping up all over

Although this buyerrsquos market continues the fast-paced growth of Mazatlaacuten will slowly eat up our supply and prices will rise The exchange rate has hurt us for National and Canadian buyers in the mid-range market but proves to be helpful for those selling We anticipate more and more American buyers due to the strong USD

Investing in a home or condominium could not be better right now The seasonal rental market is very strong with many agencies and owners reporting that they are booked solid through April of 2016 This is a great way to cover your expenses while still being able to visit and enjoy your home in paradise

BUYING PROCESSFor anyone not familiar with the

buying process here do not let it daunt you As a foreigner there are any special requirements such as a bank trust (Fideicomiso) and what seems like a lot of ID and paperwork The great news is that it is relatively easy due to the wonderful notarios (similar to lawyersescrow process) we have here They take care of the secondary (after contracting) paperwork and all the legalities for you

As long as you have a great Realtor (us) and a notary-you are in business

FLIGHTSOur accessibility is getting better as

well Westjet has moved direct Canadian flights up one month and there are many flights now to Guadalajera Cabo and more The ability to easily fly in and out of our great city will increase our tourism and expand numbers greatly

FIESTANovember will be a special month

for us as CanAmerican International Real Estate We will be celebrating our 1st anniversary of our Mazatlaacuten offices Stay tuned for our celebration announcements

We look forward to a busy buying and selling season and hope to hear from you soon

Howdy Irsquom Mazatlaacuten Jack and Irsquoll be doing the Stranger in Paradise column for the

foreseeable future You hopefully never heard of me but some of the older readers might remember my illustrious brother Monterrey Jack

Anyhow Irsquove been hanging around this old town for too long maybe but I canrsquot think of a better place to get stuck for the duration Itrsquos got something for everybody at every stage of life

Imagine how cool it must be to grow up in Mazatlaacuten Dozens of miles of beaches within the city limits and not a snow shovel anywhere An expansive sea walk you can skateboard and bike along endlessly A week off school for Carnival every year and two weeks off for Easter Totally awesome Like the song Corrido de Mazatlaacuten proclaims here even the poor folk feel like millionaires

My first couple of years in Maz I covered the waterfront Playa Norte was my haunt rambling from the Fishermanrsquos Monument to Valentinorsquos and back I never missed a sunset went body surfing in wintertime eschewed touristy type places in the flavors of the rustic and exotic palapas shopped at the Mercado Central ate raw shellfish swimming in hot sauce and patriotically washed it all down with way too much cerveza Pacifico con limoacuten y sal

Then my tastes grew more sophisticated and cosmopolitan Olas Altas beckoned Next thing I know the magic of historic old town

has captivated me the Plazuela Machado has blossomed into a cultural mecca and Irsquom becoming an opera fan Everywhere I look I see fellow Norteamericanos walking around with the same love-struck looks on their faces and next thing you know the place is overrun with foreigners

After giving my anthropological and transcultural itches some deep scratching I found myself appreciating more and more the soulless plastic comforts of the Zona Dorada The beer is colder the sand is prettier and there are more restaurants with air conditioning and familiar sports on TV Once you got all that youthful craving for adventure out of your system why not spend a little more and pamper yourself

And now in the October of my years I find therersquos no place like home Thanks to the marvelous modern telephoneInternetbig TVOn line banking combination there is no need to ever go outside anymore Pretty much anything on Godrsquos green earth can be found or ordered the only limit is the imagination and the credit card Every year they come up with more gadgets that immediately become indispensable for everyday life Itrsquos gotten to the point that if I want to know if itrsquos raining or not I go to the weather page rather than open the door and let all that nice cool AC escape Irsquom glad all this stupefying technology waited until the sedentary reminiscent stage of my life to appear at least I accomplished a few things before turning into a small-screen zombie But I fear for

the youngsters who donrsquot know how anything feels just how it looks on their dumb phones

At least here in Mazatlaacuten we have great Wi-Fi service I used to think of Telmex as being one of the great corporate villains right up there with Halliburton and Nestle but the old fat cat Carlos Slim has really gotten his act together in the last few years and Meacutexico enjoys some of the best and cheapest home phoneWi-Fi service in the world Now itrsquos Telcel that is the arch villain of the communications world but donrsquot get me started thatrsquos a whole another story

Anyhow whatever it is yoursquore looking for (except alpine skiing I mean letrsquos be reasonable) Mazatlaacuten has it whether itrsquos surfing the waves or surfing the net

Married in Meacutexico a collection of Mazatlaacuten Jack Pacific Pearl columns going back ten to fourteen years is now available electronically at amazoncom only 299 USD Stock up while supplies last

Mazatlaacuten reminds me of a calendar one thatrsquos full of plans which prompt her inhabitants

to be bursting with anticipation all times of the year Shersquos like a department store always preparing for the next event to attract customers the holiday times the fabricated celebrations like Comedy Night bands singing their tunes around the city Ah yes This is the seasonal city one with two major seasons summer and winter

We look forward to the spring when the colorful birds grace us with their visits and we near the summer storms that transport ferocious rain showers down over our heads bringing us lush green terrain within 48 hours Not that our heads grow a green terrain that would be weird Seriously thoughhellip I can look to the east and the brown hills literally turn green with two of these wet outbursts Amazing Oh I just love the storms Mind you my body does this weird thing in the summer referred by some as becoming a sweaty wet mess but still I am content here Yes spring brings us exotic birds but at the same time our northern human friends leave us Itrsquos a bittersweet transition to summer for those of us who remain in this unique land

What is that song ldquoHello I love youhellip wonrsquot you blah blahhellip blah blahrdquo And then therersquos ldquoBreaking up is hard to dohelliprdquo The first song is for the stunning feathery

creatures that have reservations to stay here during our hot times the second is for our new and old friends who are beginning to make their exodus to the north

Itlsquos much easier to write a novel during this time as I do much less socializing I find it effortless to adapt So with that said I feel as though I have the same attitude as my city I welcome each new event that the calendar dictates me to look forward to Does this kind of thinking make me the customer that the department store is trying to attract Hmm thatrsquos an interesting thought ldquoI am a robot moving with the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Itrsquos time to change again In the next few months my city will have her arms out to embrace your return and the winter events in the city will begin For those of you that are beginning to

think about what to pack for your winter home retreat I can imagine the excitement the utter exhilaration you must feel You will soon fly into this magical city once more

Such a wonderful cycle this is I realize this type of existence is anywhere everywhere but somehow here in Mazatlaacuten it seems

more prominentLike that department store the

anticipation of the holidays then Carnaval Semana Santa (Holy Week ~ Easter)hellip we will do this again Life is grand but to me it is also full of rich moments either with the colorful birds or the people who spend their winter months down here Each season gives us something different to enjoy

New memories In closing this city looks forward to

the return of your migrating snow birds Irsquom beginning to feel the expectations in the air The humidity will soon leave this little town and there will be lots of music to hear in the evenings Boy oh boy can life get any better I donrsquot believe so

Bienvenido --Ahhh

ldquoI am a robot movIng wIth the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Dear Love DoctorsMy spouse was away most of the time of our long term marriage that I hardly know him anymore He recently retired and I am still working Over the years I involved myself with groups of interest to me Need ideas on how to get to know him again

Dear Need IdeasKnow that there will be an adjustment

period for both of you and it will take time and he will have to get to know you again too Keep your friendships and groups and invite your spouse to join you Find out what his interests are and involve yourself in his activities Learn and enjoy by taking turns doing what the other likes

Dear Love DoctorsHow do I help a friend who has a lot

of negatives in her home life Wondering how to help

Dear WonderingTell your friend you will be there for

her if she needs to talk Invite your friend out to events you know she likes (Eg Movies art shows etc) Build self esteem by giving her positive feedback when you talk to her Send your friend a card in the mail with a picture of something she likes (Eg Flowers dogs cats etc) and write ldquoThinking of yourdquo or ldquoJust becauserdquo or a personal note Sometimes in todayrsquos world of electronic communication we forget that some people still appreciate a gesture of this kind

Dear Love DoctorsWe thought we were going to have a good income when we retired but with the cost of everything keeps going up and it is getting very hard to meet day to day expenses Thus we donrsquot have much if any discretionary funds to enjoy the things we used to We feel trapped in a downward spiral

Dear TrappedUnfortunately your situation is

becoming more and more the norm Check out community centers for events and list all the ones that are free For example movies in the park local theater groups etc Often the library will have free events Volunteering is a good way to meet people and get information on events The old saying ldquothe more the merrierrdquo may apply from a group there may be others who are in the same situation Have a pot luck supper and rotate the venue with others in the group Be creative and enjoy

Are you currently going through a break up

separation divorce or the loss of someone you love

If so let me first say my heartrsquos with you and also therersquos no better time for you to consider doing a cleanse a detox from everything bad that is poisoning you

Sadness stress resentment and anger all causes the liver to secrete toxins within our system As if everything else wasnrsquot enough your own body attacks and fights itself when smothered with negative feelings

Veggies such as broccoli cauliflower kale cabbage and bok choy contain phytonutrients that help your body produce more glutathione an important antioxidant that helps prevent damage to important cellular components Other detox-friendly foods include dandelion greens which improve the flow of bile in the liver celery which increases urine output and cilantro which can help remove heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body Add a cup of green tea and you got yourself a winning combo

Another essential part of the healing process is to sleep (oh the sacrifices we make)

While yoursquore asleep your brainrsquos waste-removal team called the glymphatic system is working overtime according to research from the University of Rochester Medical Center Toxic proteins linked to Alzheimerrsquos disease build up while yoursquore awake and getting adequate shut-eye is key to making sure theyrsquore cleared out as quickly and efficiently as possible

For an extra kick if yoursquore currently trying to detox aim to spend 10 to 15

minutes in a sauna two to three times a week Treat yourself with a professional massage Make sure you drink enough water and stay hydrated Check with your doctor beforehand if you have a medical condition

Look at each meal as a chance to heal by eating the right foods you are helping your body mind and soul to recover from any kind of shock it is you are under

Make the best of all the fresh produce at hand in town stay away from chain food restaurants and go local

This is hard to do but try and stay positive soon your thoughts will become your words your words will become your attitude and you already know how that goes Remember you are a forest you might be burnt or chopped down but you will flourish back have faith give it time and breathe just breathe

ldquoas If everythIng else wasnrsquot enough your

own body attacks and fIghts It self

when smothered wIth negatIve feelIngsrdquo

Sauces- Browned Butter By Christine Yerbic

1 cube Butter (4 oz)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced

METHOD1 Melt butter in a medium skillet

over medium low heat 2 Continue cooking for about 10

minutes stirring and shaking the pan constantly until the butter is golden brown

3 For a clearer sauce strain the browned butter through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl

4 Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the minced parsley

A fine sauce is the art and essences to cooking The word ldquoSaucerdquo is a French

word that means ldquoa relish to make food more appetizing enhance and to compliment by bringing out the flavor of the food it is served withrdquo

A sauce can be a liquid cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods The French are credited for refining the sophisticated art of sauce-making

There are hundreds of different sauces all are classified under one of 5 - ldquoMother Saucesrdquo These 5 basic sauces are 1) the white sauce ldquoBechamelrdquo 2) the light stock based chicken ldquoVelouterdquo 3) the brown stock based ldquoEspagnolrdquo 4) the two based ldquoEmulsifiedrdquo sauces ldquo Hollandaise rdquo ampldquoMayonnaise 5) the oil and vinegar based ldquoVinaigretterdquo

Tomato Sauce is now considered

to be an addition to the 5 Mother Sauces since it is the base for a large variety of sauces in todayrsquos cooking

Sauces derived from one of the Mother Sauces are called a secondary sauce such as the browned butter sauce Literally there are hundreds of variations such as pan sauces purees salsas Asian dipping sauces dessert sauces to the traditional American Giblet Gravy served with the Thanksgiving Turkey

Browned Butter Sauce is simply melted butter that has been simmering over low heat until butter has turned Golden brown

The taste is bigger of butter with a nutty flavor and the aroma is enticing Steamed vegetables taste bolder with a brown butter drizzle For a simple Pasta Sauce toss browned butter with hot pasta for a quick and easy topping

Welcome back We have endured a long

hot and humid summer and are looking forward to a weather change for sure Even with our hot temperatures we had a busy time Our summer visitors from all over Meacutexico seem to have exploded This summer proved to be great for the hotels restaurant and shops here in Mazatlaacuten

REAL ESTATEThe real estate industry did very

well too with many sales to Nationals in the 1-2 million pesos range New projects seem to be selling well and new businesses are popping up all over

Although this buyerrsquos market continues the fast-paced growth of Mazatlaacuten will slowly eat up our supply and prices will rise The exchange rate has hurt us for National and Canadian buyers in the mid-range market but proves to be helpful for those selling We anticipate more and more American buyers due to the strong USD

Investing in a home or condominium could not be better right now The seasonal rental market is very strong with many agencies and owners reporting that they are booked solid through April of 2016 This is a great way to cover your expenses while still being able to visit and enjoy your home in paradise

BUYING PROCESSFor anyone not familiar with the

buying process here do not let it daunt you As a foreigner there are any special requirements such as a bank trust (Fideicomiso) and what seems like a lot of ID and paperwork The great news is that it is relatively easy due to the wonderful notarios (similar to lawyersescrow process) we have here They take care of the secondary (after contracting) paperwork and all the legalities for you

As long as you have a great Realtor (us) and a notary-you are in business

FLIGHTSOur accessibility is getting better as

well Westjet has moved direct Canadian flights up one month and there are many flights now to Guadalajera Cabo and more The ability to easily fly in and out of our great city will increase our tourism and expand numbers greatly

FIESTANovember will be a special month

for us as CanAmerican International Real Estate We will be celebrating our 1st anniversary of our Mazatlaacuten offices Stay tuned for our celebration announcements

We look forward to a busy buying and selling season and hope to hear from you soon

Howdy Irsquom Mazatlaacuten Jack and Irsquoll be doing the Stranger in Paradise column for the

foreseeable future You hopefully never heard of me but some of the older readers might remember my illustrious brother Monterrey Jack

Anyhow Irsquove been hanging around this old town for too long maybe but I canrsquot think of a better place to get stuck for the duration Itrsquos got something for everybody at every stage of life

Imagine how cool it must be to grow up in Mazatlaacuten Dozens of miles of beaches within the city limits and not a snow shovel anywhere An expansive sea walk you can skateboard and bike along endlessly A week off school for Carnival every year and two weeks off for Easter Totally awesome Like the song Corrido de Mazatlaacuten proclaims here even the poor folk feel like millionaires

My first couple of years in Maz I covered the waterfront Playa Norte was my haunt rambling from the Fishermanrsquos Monument to Valentinorsquos and back I never missed a sunset went body surfing in wintertime eschewed touristy type places in the flavors of the rustic and exotic palapas shopped at the Mercado Central ate raw shellfish swimming in hot sauce and patriotically washed it all down with way too much cerveza Pacifico con limoacuten y sal

Then my tastes grew more sophisticated and cosmopolitan Olas Altas beckoned Next thing I know the magic of historic old town

has captivated me the Plazuela Machado has blossomed into a cultural mecca and Irsquom becoming an opera fan Everywhere I look I see fellow Norteamericanos walking around with the same love-struck looks on their faces and next thing you know the place is overrun with foreigners

After giving my anthropological and transcultural itches some deep scratching I found myself appreciating more and more the soulless plastic comforts of the Zona Dorada The beer is colder the sand is prettier and there are more restaurants with air conditioning and familiar sports on TV Once you got all that youthful craving for adventure out of your system why not spend a little more and pamper yourself

And now in the October of my years I find therersquos no place like home Thanks to the marvelous modern telephoneInternetbig TVOn line banking combination there is no need to ever go outside anymore Pretty much anything on Godrsquos green earth can be found or ordered the only limit is the imagination and the credit card Every year they come up with more gadgets that immediately become indispensable for everyday life Itrsquos gotten to the point that if I want to know if itrsquos raining or not I go to the weather page rather than open the door and let all that nice cool AC escape Irsquom glad all this stupefying technology waited until the sedentary reminiscent stage of my life to appear at least I accomplished a few things before turning into a small-screen zombie But I fear for

the youngsters who donrsquot know how anything feels just how it looks on their dumb phones

At least here in Mazatlaacuten we have great Wi-Fi service I used to think of Telmex as being one of the great corporate villains right up there with Halliburton and Nestle but the old fat cat Carlos Slim has really gotten his act together in the last few years and Meacutexico enjoys some of the best and cheapest home phoneWi-Fi service in the world Now itrsquos Telcel that is the arch villain of the communications world but donrsquot get me started thatrsquos a whole another story

Anyhow whatever it is yoursquore looking for (except alpine skiing I mean letrsquos be reasonable) Mazatlaacuten has it whether itrsquos surfing the waves or surfing the net

Married in Meacutexico a collection of Mazatlaacuten Jack Pacific Pearl columns going back ten to fourteen years is now available electronically at amazoncom only 299 USD Stock up while supplies last

Mazatlaacuten reminds me of a calendar one thatrsquos full of plans which prompt her inhabitants

to be bursting with anticipation all times of the year Shersquos like a department store always preparing for the next event to attract customers the holiday times the fabricated celebrations like Comedy Night bands singing their tunes around the city Ah yes This is the seasonal city one with two major seasons summer and winter

We look forward to the spring when the colorful birds grace us with their visits and we near the summer storms that transport ferocious rain showers down over our heads bringing us lush green terrain within 48 hours Not that our heads grow a green terrain that would be weird Seriously thoughhellip I can look to the east and the brown hills literally turn green with two of these wet outbursts Amazing Oh I just love the storms Mind you my body does this weird thing in the summer referred by some as becoming a sweaty wet mess but still I am content here Yes spring brings us exotic birds but at the same time our northern human friends leave us Itrsquos a bittersweet transition to summer for those of us who remain in this unique land

What is that song ldquoHello I love youhellip wonrsquot you blah blahhellip blah blahrdquo And then therersquos ldquoBreaking up is hard to dohelliprdquo The first song is for the stunning feathery

creatures that have reservations to stay here during our hot times the second is for our new and old friends who are beginning to make their exodus to the north

Itlsquos much easier to write a novel during this time as I do much less socializing I find it effortless to adapt So with that said I feel as though I have the same attitude as my city I welcome each new event that the calendar dictates me to look forward to Does this kind of thinking make me the customer that the department store is trying to attract Hmm thatrsquos an interesting thought ldquoI am a robot moving with the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Itrsquos time to change again In the next few months my city will have her arms out to embrace your return and the winter events in the city will begin For those of you that are beginning to

think about what to pack for your winter home retreat I can imagine the excitement the utter exhilaration you must feel You will soon fly into this magical city once more

Such a wonderful cycle this is I realize this type of existence is anywhere everywhere but somehow here in Mazatlaacuten it seems

more prominentLike that department store the

anticipation of the holidays then Carnaval Semana Santa (Holy Week ~ Easter)hellip we will do this again Life is grand but to me it is also full of rich moments either with the colorful birds or the people who spend their winter months down here Each season gives us something different to enjoy

New memories In closing this city looks forward to

the return of your migrating snow birds Irsquom beginning to feel the expectations in the air The humidity will soon leave this little town and there will be lots of music to hear in the evenings Boy oh boy can life get any better I donrsquot believe so

Bienvenido --Ahhh

ldquoI am a robot movIng wIth the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Dear Love DoctorsMy spouse was away most of the time of our long term marriage that I hardly know him anymore He recently retired and I am still working Over the years I involved myself with groups of interest to me Need ideas on how to get to know him again

Dear Need IdeasKnow that there will be an adjustment

period for both of you and it will take time and he will have to get to know you again too Keep your friendships and groups and invite your spouse to join you Find out what his interests are and involve yourself in his activities Learn and enjoy by taking turns doing what the other likes

Dear Love DoctorsHow do I help a friend who has a lot

of negatives in her home life Wondering how to help

Dear WonderingTell your friend you will be there for

her if she needs to talk Invite your friend out to events you know she likes (Eg Movies art shows etc) Build self esteem by giving her positive feedback when you talk to her Send your friend a card in the mail with a picture of something she likes (Eg Flowers dogs cats etc) and write ldquoThinking of yourdquo or ldquoJust becauserdquo or a personal note Sometimes in todayrsquos world of electronic communication we forget that some people still appreciate a gesture of this kind

Dear Love DoctorsWe thought we were going to have a good income when we retired but with the cost of everything keeps going up and it is getting very hard to meet day to day expenses Thus we donrsquot have much if any discretionary funds to enjoy the things we used to We feel trapped in a downward spiral

Dear TrappedUnfortunately your situation is

becoming more and more the norm Check out community centers for events and list all the ones that are free For example movies in the park local theater groups etc Often the library will have free events Volunteering is a good way to meet people and get information on events The old saying ldquothe more the merrierrdquo may apply from a group there may be others who are in the same situation Have a pot luck supper and rotate the venue with others in the group Be creative and enjoy

Are you currently going through a break up

separation divorce or the loss of someone you love

If so let me first say my heartrsquos with you and also therersquos no better time for you to consider doing a cleanse a detox from everything bad that is poisoning you

Sadness stress resentment and anger all causes the liver to secrete toxins within our system As if everything else wasnrsquot enough your own body attacks and fights itself when smothered with negative feelings

Veggies such as broccoli cauliflower kale cabbage and bok choy contain phytonutrients that help your body produce more glutathione an important antioxidant that helps prevent damage to important cellular components Other detox-friendly foods include dandelion greens which improve the flow of bile in the liver celery which increases urine output and cilantro which can help remove heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body Add a cup of green tea and you got yourself a winning combo

Another essential part of the healing process is to sleep (oh the sacrifices we make)

While yoursquore asleep your brainrsquos waste-removal team called the glymphatic system is working overtime according to research from the University of Rochester Medical Center Toxic proteins linked to Alzheimerrsquos disease build up while yoursquore awake and getting adequate shut-eye is key to making sure theyrsquore cleared out as quickly and efficiently as possible

For an extra kick if yoursquore currently trying to detox aim to spend 10 to 15

minutes in a sauna two to three times a week Treat yourself with a professional massage Make sure you drink enough water and stay hydrated Check with your doctor beforehand if you have a medical condition

Look at each meal as a chance to heal by eating the right foods you are helping your body mind and soul to recover from any kind of shock it is you are under

Make the best of all the fresh produce at hand in town stay away from chain food restaurants and go local

This is hard to do but try and stay positive soon your thoughts will become your words your words will become your attitude and you already know how that goes Remember you are a forest you might be burnt or chopped down but you will flourish back have faith give it time and breathe just breathe

ldquoas If everythIng else wasnrsquot enough your

own body attacks and fIghts It self

when smothered wIth negatIve feelIngsrdquo

Sauces- Browned Butter By Christine Yerbic

1 cube Butter (4 oz)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced

METHOD1 Melt butter in a medium skillet

over medium low heat 2 Continue cooking for about 10

minutes stirring and shaking the pan constantly until the butter is golden brown

3 For a clearer sauce strain the browned butter through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl

4 Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the minced parsley

A fine sauce is the art and essences to cooking The word ldquoSaucerdquo is a French

word that means ldquoa relish to make food more appetizing enhance and to compliment by bringing out the flavor of the food it is served withrdquo

A sauce can be a liquid cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods The French are credited for refining the sophisticated art of sauce-making

There are hundreds of different sauces all are classified under one of 5 - ldquoMother Saucesrdquo These 5 basic sauces are 1) the white sauce ldquoBechamelrdquo 2) the light stock based chicken ldquoVelouterdquo 3) the brown stock based ldquoEspagnolrdquo 4) the two based ldquoEmulsifiedrdquo sauces ldquo Hollandaise rdquo ampldquoMayonnaise 5) the oil and vinegar based ldquoVinaigretterdquo

Tomato Sauce is now considered

to be an addition to the 5 Mother Sauces since it is the base for a large variety of sauces in todayrsquos cooking

Sauces derived from one of the Mother Sauces are called a secondary sauce such as the browned butter sauce Literally there are hundreds of variations such as pan sauces purees salsas Asian dipping sauces dessert sauces to the traditional American Giblet Gravy served with the Thanksgiving Turkey

Browned Butter Sauce is simply melted butter that has been simmering over low heat until butter has turned Golden brown

The taste is bigger of butter with a nutty flavor and the aroma is enticing Steamed vegetables taste bolder with a brown butter drizzle For a simple Pasta Sauce toss browned butter with hot pasta for a quick and easy topping

Welcome back We have endured a long

hot and humid summer and are looking forward to a weather change for sure Even with our hot temperatures we had a busy time Our summer visitors from all over Meacutexico seem to have exploded This summer proved to be great for the hotels restaurant and shops here in Mazatlaacuten

REAL ESTATEThe real estate industry did very

well too with many sales to Nationals in the 1-2 million pesos range New projects seem to be selling well and new businesses are popping up all over

Although this buyerrsquos market continues the fast-paced growth of Mazatlaacuten will slowly eat up our supply and prices will rise The exchange rate has hurt us for National and Canadian buyers in the mid-range market but proves to be helpful for those selling We anticipate more and more American buyers due to the strong USD

Investing in a home or condominium could not be better right now The seasonal rental market is very strong with many agencies and owners reporting that they are booked solid through April of 2016 This is a great way to cover your expenses while still being able to visit and enjoy your home in paradise

BUYING PROCESSFor anyone not familiar with the

buying process here do not let it daunt you As a foreigner there are any special requirements such as a bank trust (Fideicomiso) and what seems like a lot of ID and paperwork The great news is that it is relatively easy due to the wonderful notarios (similar to lawyersescrow process) we have here They take care of the secondary (after contracting) paperwork and all the legalities for you

As long as you have a great Realtor (us) and a notary-you are in business

FLIGHTSOur accessibility is getting better as

well Westjet has moved direct Canadian flights up one month and there are many flights now to Guadalajera Cabo and more The ability to easily fly in and out of our great city will increase our tourism and expand numbers greatly

FIESTANovember will be a special month

for us as CanAmerican International Real Estate We will be celebrating our 1st anniversary of our Mazatlaacuten offices Stay tuned for our celebration announcements

We look forward to a busy buying and selling season and hope to hear from you soon

Lesley Martinson is the owner of Canamerican Intrsquol Real Estate and a 29 years licensed broker For more information call at 669 120 0631 or US cel 602 430 0027 Email azmazagentgmailcom

Mazatlaacuten reminds me of a calendar one thatrsquos full of plans which prompt her inhabitants

to be bursting with anticipation all times of the year Shersquos like a department store always preparing for the next event to attract customers the holiday times the fabricated celebrations like Comedy Night bands singing their tunes around the city Ah yes This is the seasonal city one with two major seasons summer and winter

We look forward to the spring when the colorful birds grace us with their visits and we near the summer storms that transport ferocious rain showers down over our heads bringing us lush green terrain within 48 hours Not that our heads grow a green terrain that would be weird Seriously thoughhellip I can look to the east and the brown hills literally turn green with two of these wet outbursts Amazing Oh I just love the storms Mind you my body does this weird thing in the summer referred by some as becoming a sweaty wet mess but still I am content here Yes spring brings us exotic birds but at the same time our northern human friends leave us Itrsquos a bittersweet transition to summer for those of us who remain in this unique land

What is that song ldquoHello I love youhellip wonrsquot you blah blahhellip blah blahrdquo And then therersquos ldquoBreaking up is hard to dohelliprdquo The first song is for the stunning feathery

creatures that have reservations to stay here during our hot times the second is for our new and old friends who are beginning to make their exodus to the north

Itlsquos much easier to write a novel during this time as I do much less socializing I find it effortless to adapt So with that said I feel as though I have the same attitude as my city I welcome each new event that the calendar dictates me to look forward to Does this kind of thinking make me the customer that the department store is trying to attract Hmm thatrsquos an interesting thought ldquoI am a robot moving with the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Itrsquos time to change again In the next few months my city will have her arms out to embrace your return and the winter events in the city will begin For those of you that are beginning to

think about what to pack for your winter home retreat I can imagine the excitement the utter exhilaration you must feel You will soon fly into this magical city once more

Such a wonderful cycle this is I realize this type of existence is anywhere everywhere but somehow here in Mazatlaacuten it seems

more prominentLike that department store the

anticipation of the holidays then Carnaval Semana Santa (Holy Week ~ Easter)hellip we will do this again Life is grand but to me it is also full of rich moments either with the colorful birds or the people who spend their winter months down here Each season gives us something different to enjoy

New memories In closing this city looks forward to

the return of your migrating snow birds Irsquom beginning to feel the expectations in the air The humidity will soon leave this little town and there will be lots of music to hear in the evenings Boy oh boy can life get any better I donrsquot believe so

Bienvenido --Ahhh

ldquoI am a robot movIng wIth the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Dear Love DoctorsMy spouse was away most of the time of our long term marriage that I hardly know him anymore He recently retired and I am still working Over the years I involved myself with groups of interest to me Need ideas on how to get to know him again

Dear Need IdeasKnow that there will be an adjustment

period for both of you and it will take time and he will have to get to know you again too Keep your friendships and groups and invite your spouse to join you Find out what his interests are and involve yourself in his activities Learn and enjoy by taking turns doing what the other likes

Dear Love DoctorsHow do I help a friend who has a lot

of negatives in her home life Wondering how to help

Dear WonderingTell your friend you will be there for

her if she needs to talk Invite your friend out to events you know she likes (Eg Movies art shows etc) Build self esteem by giving her positive feedback when you talk to her Send your friend a card in the mail with a picture of something she likes (Eg Flowers dogs cats etc) and write ldquoThinking of yourdquo or ldquoJust becauserdquo or a personal note Sometimes in todayrsquos world of electronic communication we forget that some people still appreciate a gesture of this kind

Dear Love DoctorsWe thought we were going to have a good income when we retired but with the cost of everything keeps going up and it is getting very hard to meet day to day expenses Thus we donrsquot have much if any discretionary funds to enjoy the things we used to We feel trapped in a downward spiral

Dear TrappedUnfortunately your situation is

becoming more and more the norm Check out community centers for events and list all the ones that are free For example movies in the park local theater groups etc Often the library will have free events Volunteering is a good way to meet people and get information on events The old saying ldquothe more the merrierrdquo may apply from a group there may be others who are in the same situation Have a pot luck supper and rotate the venue with others in the group Be creative and enjoy

Are you currently going through a break up

separation divorce or the loss of someone you love

If so let me first say my heartrsquos with you and also therersquos no better time for you to consider doing a cleanse a detox from everything bad that is poisoning you

Sadness stress resentment and anger all causes the liver to secrete toxins within our system As if everything else wasnrsquot enough your own body attacks and fights itself when smothered with negative feelings

Veggies such as broccoli cauliflower kale cabbage and bok choy contain phytonutrients that help your body produce more glutathione an important antioxidant that helps prevent damage to important cellular components Other detox-friendly foods include dandelion greens which improve the flow of bile in the liver celery which increases urine output and cilantro which can help remove heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body Add a cup of green tea and you got yourself a winning combo

Another essential part of the healing process is to sleep (oh the sacrifices we make)

While yoursquore asleep your brainrsquos waste-removal team called the glymphatic system is working overtime according to research from the University of Rochester Medical Center Toxic proteins linked to Alzheimerrsquos disease build up while yoursquore awake and getting adequate shut-eye is key to making sure theyrsquore cleared out as quickly and efficiently as possible

For an extra kick if yoursquore currently trying to detox aim to spend 10 to 15

minutes in a sauna two to three times a week Treat yourself with a professional massage Make sure you drink enough water and stay hydrated Check with your doctor beforehand if you have a medical condition

Look at each meal as a chance to heal by eating the right foods you are helping your body mind and soul to recover from any kind of shock it is you are under

Make the best of all the fresh produce at hand in town stay away from chain food restaurants and go local

This is hard to do but try and stay positive soon your thoughts will become your words your words will become your attitude and you already know how that goes Remember you are a forest you might be burnt or chopped down but you will flourish back have faith give it time and breathe just breathe

ldquoas If everythIng else wasnrsquot enough your

own body attacks and fIghts It self

when smothered wIth negatIve feelIngsrdquo

Sauces- Browned Butter By Christine Yerbic

1 cube Butter (4 oz)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced

METHOD1 Melt butter in a medium skillet

over medium low heat 2 Continue cooking for about 10

minutes stirring and shaking the pan constantly until the butter is golden brown

3 For a clearer sauce strain the browned butter through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl

4 Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the minced parsley

A fine sauce is the art and essences to cooking The word ldquoSaucerdquo is a French

word that means ldquoa relish to make food more appetizing enhance and to compliment by bringing out the flavor of the food it is served withrdquo

A sauce can be a liquid cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods The French are credited for refining the sophisticated art of sauce-making

There are hundreds of different sauces all are classified under one of 5 - ldquoMother Saucesrdquo These 5 basic sauces are 1) the white sauce ldquoBechamelrdquo 2) the light stock based chicken ldquoVelouterdquo 3) the brown stock based ldquoEspagnolrdquo 4) the two based ldquoEmulsifiedrdquo sauces ldquo Hollandaise rdquo ampldquoMayonnaise 5) the oil and vinegar based ldquoVinaigretterdquo

Tomato Sauce is now considered

to be an addition to the 5 Mother Sauces since it is the base for a large variety of sauces in todayrsquos cooking

Sauces derived from one of the Mother Sauces are called a secondary sauce such as the browned butter sauce Literally there are hundreds of variations such as pan sauces purees salsas Asian dipping sauces dessert sauces to the traditional American Giblet Gravy served with the Thanksgiving Turkey

Browned Butter Sauce is simply melted butter that has been simmering over low heat until butter has turned Golden brown

The taste is bigger of butter with a nutty flavor and the aroma is enticing Steamed vegetables taste bolder with a brown butter drizzle For a simple Pasta Sauce toss browned butter with hot pasta for a quick and easy topping

Welcome back We have endured a long

hot and humid summer and are looking forward to a weather change for sure Even with our hot temperatures we had a busy time Our summer visitors from all over Meacutexico seem to have exploded This summer proved to be great for the hotels restaurant and shops here in Mazatlaacuten

REAL ESTATEThe real estate industry did very

well too with many sales to Nationals in the 1-2 million pesos range New projects seem to be selling well and new businesses are popping up all over

Although this buyerrsquos market continues the fast-paced growth of Mazatlaacuten will slowly eat up our supply and prices will rise The exchange rate has hurt us for National and Canadian buyers in the mid-range market but proves to be helpful for those selling We anticipate more and more American buyers due to the strong USD

Investing in a home or condominium could not be better right now The seasonal rental market is very strong with many agencies and owners reporting that they are booked solid through April of 2016 This is a great way to cover your expenses while still being able to visit and enjoy your home in paradise

BUYING PROCESSFor anyone not familiar with the

buying process here do not let it daunt you As a foreigner there are any special requirements such as a bank trust (Fideicomiso) and what seems like a lot of ID and paperwork The great news is that it is relatively easy due to the wonderful notarios (similar to lawyersescrow process) we have here They take care of the secondary (after contracting) paperwork and all the legalities for you

As long as you have a great Realtor (us) and a notary-you are in business

FLIGHTSOur accessibility is getting better as

well Westjet has moved direct Canadian flights up one month and there are many flights now to Guadalajera Cabo and more The ability to easily fly in and out of our great city will increase our tourism and expand numbers greatly

FIESTANovember will be a special month

for us as CanAmerican International Real Estate We will be celebrating our 1st anniversary of our Mazatlaacuten offices Stay tuned for our celebration announcements

We look forward to a busy buying and selling season and hope to hear from you soon

Lesley Martinson is the owner of Canamerican Intrsquol Real Estate and a 29 years licensed broker For more information call at 669 120 0631 or US cel 602 430 0027 Email azmazagentgmailcom

Mazatlaacuten reminds me of a calendar one thatrsquos full of plans which prompt her inhabitants

to be bursting with anticipation all times of the year Shersquos like a department store always preparing for the next event to attract customers the holiday times the fabricated celebrations like Comedy Night bands singing their tunes around the city Ah yes This is the seasonal city one with two major seasons summer and winter

We look forward to the spring when the colorful birds grace us with their visits and we near the summer storms that transport ferocious rain showers down over our heads bringing us lush green terrain within 48 hours Not that our heads grow a green terrain that would be weird Seriously thoughhellip I can look to the east and the brown hills literally turn green with two of these wet outbursts Amazing Oh I just love the storms Mind you my body does this weird thing in the summer referred by some as becoming a sweaty wet mess but still I am content here Yes spring brings us exotic birds but at the same time our northern human friends leave us Itrsquos a bittersweet transition to summer for those of us who remain in this unique land

What is that song ldquoHello I love youhellip wonrsquot you blah blahhellip blah blahrdquo And then therersquos ldquoBreaking up is hard to dohelliprdquo The first song is for the stunning feathery

creatures that have reservations to stay here during our hot times the second is for our new and old friends who are beginning to make their exodus to the north

Itlsquos much easier to write a novel during this time as I do much less socializing I find it effortless to adapt So with that said I feel as though I have the same attitude as my city I welcome each new event that the calendar dictates me to look forward to Does this kind of thinking make me the customer that the department store is trying to attract Hmm thatrsquos an interesting thought ldquoI am a robot moving with the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Itrsquos time to change again In the next few months my city will have her arms out to embrace your return and the winter events in the city will begin For those of you that are beginning to

think about what to pack for your winter home retreat I can imagine the excitement the utter exhilaration you must feel You will soon fly into this magical city once more

Such a wonderful cycle this is I realize this type of existence is anywhere everywhere but somehow here in Mazatlaacuten it seems

more prominentLike that department store the

anticipation of the holidays then Carnaval Semana Santa (Holy Week ~ Easter)hellip we will do this again Life is grand but to me it is also full of rich moments either with the colorful birds or the people who spend their winter months down here Each season gives us something different to enjoy

New memories In closing this city looks forward to

the return of your migrating snow birds Irsquom beginning to feel the expectations in the air The humidity will soon leave this little town and there will be lots of music to hear in the evenings Boy oh boy can life get any better I donrsquot believe so

Bienvenido --Ahhh

ldquoI am a robot movIng wIth the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Dear Love DoctorsMy spouse was away most of the time of our long term marriage that I hardly know him anymore He recently retired and I am still working Over the years I involved myself with groups of interest to me Need ideas on how to get to know him again

Dear Need IdeasKnow that there will be an adjustment

period for both of you and it will take time and he will have to get to know you again too Keep your friendships and groups and invite your spouse to join you Find out what his interests are and involve yourself in his activities Learn and enjoy by taking turns doing what the other likes

Dear Love DoctorsHow do I help a friend who has a lot

of negatives in her home life Wondering how to help

Dear WonderingTell your friend you will be there for

her if she needs to talk Invite your friend out to events you know she likes (Eg Movies art shows etc) Build self esteem by giving her positive feedback when you talk to her Send your friend a card in the mail with a picture of something she likes (Eg Flowers dogs cats etc) and write ldquoThinking of yourdquo or ldquoJust becauserdquo or a personal note Sometimes in todayrsquos world of electronic communication we forget that some people still appreciate a gesture of this kind

Dear Love DoctorsWe thought we were going to have a good income when we retired but with the cost of everything keeps going up and it is getting very hard to meet day to day expenses Thus we donrsquot have much if any discretionary funds to enjoy the things we used to We feel trapped in a downward spiral

Dear TrappedUnfortunately your situation is

becoming more and more the norm Check out community centers for events and list all the ones that are free For example movies in the park local theater groups etc Often the library will have free events Volunteering is a good way to meet people and get information on events The old saying ldquothe more the merrierrdquo may apply from a group there may be others who are in the same situation Have a pot luck supper and rotate the venue with others in the group Be creative and enjoy

Are you currently going through a break up

separation divorce or the loss of someone you love

If so let me first say my heartrsquos with you and also therersquos no better time for you to consider doing a cleanse a detox from everything bad that is poisoning you

Sadness stress resentment and anger all causes the liver to secrete toxins within our system As if everything else wasnrsquot enough your own body attacks and fights itself when smothered with negative feelings

Veggies such as broccoli cauliflower kale cabbage and bok choy contain phytonutrients that help your body produce more glutathione an important antioxidant that helps prevent damage to important cellular components Other detox-friendly foods include dandelion greens which improve the flow of bile in the liver celery which increases urine output and cilantro which can help remove heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body Add a cup of green tea and you got yourself a winning combo

Another essential part of the healing process is to sleep (oh the sacrifices we make)

While yoursquore asleep your brainrsquos waste-removal team called the glymphatic system is working overtime according to research from the University of Rochester Medical Center Toxic proteins linked to Alzheimerrsquos disease build up while yoursquore awake and getting adequate shut-eye is key to making sure theyrsquore cleared out as quickly and efficiently as possible

For an extra kick if yoursquore currently trying to detox aim to spend 10 to 15

minutes in a sauna two to three times a week Treat yourself with a professional massage Make sure you drink enough water and stay hydrated Check with your doctor beforehand if you have a medical condition

Look at each meal as a chance to heal by eating the right foods you are helping your body mind and soul to recover from any kind of shock it is you are under

Make the best of all the fresh produce at hand in town stay away from chain food restaurants and go local

This is hard to do but try and stay positive soon your thoughts will become your words your words will become your attitude and you already know how that goes Remember you are a forest you might be burnt or chopped down but you will flourish back have faith give it time and breathe just breathe

ldquoas If everythIng else wasnrsquot enough your

own body attacks and fIghts It self

when smothered wIth negatIve feelIngsrdquo

Sauces- Browned Butter By Christine Yerbic

1 cube Butter (4 oz)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced

METHOD1 Melt butter in a medium skillet

over medium low heat 2 Continue cooking for about 10

minutes stirring and shaking the pan constantly until the butter is golden brown

3 For a clearer sauce strain the browned butter through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl

4 Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the minced parsley

A fine sauce is the art and essences to cooking The word ldquoSaucerdquo is a French

word that means ldquoa relish to make food more appetizing enhance and to compliment by bringing out the flavor of the food it is served withrdquo

A sauce can be a liquid cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods The French are credited for refining the sophisticated art of sauce-making

There are hundreds of different sauces all are classified under one of 5 - ldquoMother Saucesrdquo These 5 basic sauces are 1) the white sauce ldquoBechamelrdquo 2) the light stock based chicken ldquoVelouterdquo 3) the brown stock based ldquoEspagnolrdquo 4) the two based ldquoEmulsifiedrdquo sauces ldquo Hollandaise rdquo ampldquoMayonnaise 5) the oil and vinegar based ldquoVinaigretterdquo

Tomato Sauce is now considered

to be an addition to the 5 Mother Sauces since it is the base for a large variety of sauces in todayrsquos cooking

Sauces derived from one of the Mother Sauces are called a secondary sauce such as the browned butter sauce Literally there are hundreds of variations such as pan sauces purees salsas Asian dipping sauces dessert sauces to the traditional American Giblet Gravy served with the Thanksgiving Turkey

Browned Butter Sauce is simply melted butter that has been simmering over low heat until butter has turned Golden brown

The taste is bigger of butter with a nutty flavor and the aroma is enticing Steamed vegetables taste bolder with a brown butter drizzle For a simple Pasta Sauce toss browned butter with hot pasta for a quick and easy topping

Welcome back We have endured a long

hot and humid summer and are looking forward to a weather change for sure Even with our hot temperatures we had a busy time Our summer visitors from all over Meacutexico seem to have exploded This summer proved to be great for the hotels restaurant and shops here in Mazatlaacuten

REAL ESTATEThe real estate industry did very

well too with many sales to Nationals in the 1-2 million pesos range New projects seem to be selling well and new businesses are popping up all over

Although this buyerrsquos market continues the fast-paced growth of Mazatlaacuten will slowly eat up our supply and prices will rise The exchange rate has hurt us for National and Canadian buyers in the mid-range market but proves to be helpful for those selling We anticipate more and more American buyers due to the strong USD

Investing in a home or condominium could not be better right now The seasonal rental market is very strong with many agencies and owners reporting that they are booked solid through April of 2016 This is a great way to cover your expenses while still being able to visit and enjoy your home in paradise

BUYING PROCESSFor anyone not familiar with the

buying process here do not let it daunt you As a foreigner there are any special requirements such as a bank trust (Fideicomiso) and what seems like a lot of ID and paperwork The great news is that it is relatively easy due to the wonderful notarios (similar to lawyersescrow process) we have here They take care of the secondary (after contracting) paperwork and all the legalities for you

As long as you have a great Realtor (us) and a notary-you are in business

FLIGHTSOur accessibility is getting better as

well Westjet has moved direct Canadian flights up one month and there are many flights now to Guadalajera Cabo and more The ability to easily fly in and out of our great city will increase our tourism and expand numbers greatly

FIESTANovember will be a special month

for us as CanAmerican International Real Estate We will be celebrating our 1st anniversary of our Mazatlaacuten offices Stay tuned for our celebration announcements

We look forward to a busy buying and selling season and hope to hear from you soon

Lesley Martinson is the owner of Canamerican Intrsquol Real Estate and a 29 years licensed broker For more information call at 669 120 0631 or US cel 602 430 0027 Email azmazagentgmailcom

Mazatlaacuten reminds me of a calendar one thatrsquos full of plans which prompt her inhabitants

to be bursting with anticipation all times of the year Shersquos like a department store always preparing for the next event to attract customers the holiday times the fabricated celebrations like Comedy Night bands singing their tunes around the city Ah yes This is the seasonal city one with two major seasons summer and winter

We look forward to the spring when the colorful birds grace us with their visits and we near the summer storms that transport ferocious rain showers down over our heads bringing us lush green terrain within 48 hours Not that our heads grow a green terrain that would be weird Seriously thoughhellip I can look to the east and the brown hills literally turn green with two of these wet outbursts Amazing Oh I just love the storms Mind you my body does this weird thing in the summer referred by some as becoming a sweaty wet mess but still I am content here Yes spring brings us exotic birds but at the same time our northern human friends leave us Itrsquos a bittersweet transition to summer for those of us who remain in this unique land

What is that song ldquoHello I love youhellip wonrsquot you blah blahhellip blah blahrdquo And then therersquos ldquoBreaking up is hard to dohelliprdquo The first song is for the stunning feathery

creatures that have reservations to stay here during our hot times the second is for our new and old friends who are beginning to make their exodus to the north

Itlsquos much easier to write a novel during this time as I do much less socializing I find it effortless to adapt So with that said I feel as though I have the same attitude as my city I welcome each new event that the calendar dictates me to look forward to Does this kind of thinking make me the customer that the department store is trying to attract Hmm thatrsquos an interesting thought ldquoI am a robot moving with the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Itrsquos time to change again In the next few months my city will have her arms out to embrace your return and the winter events in the city will begin For those of you that are beginning to

think about what to pack for your winter home retreat I can imagine the excitement the utter exhilaration you must feel You will soon fly into this magical city once more

Such a wonderful cycle this is I realize this type of existence is anywhere everywhere but somehow here in Mazatlaacuten it seems

more prominentLike that department store the

anticipation of the holidays then Carnaval Semana Santa (Holy Week ~ Easter)hellip we will do this again Life is grand but to me it is also full of rich moments either with the colorful birds or the people who spend their winter months down here Each season gives us something different to enjoy

New memories In closing this city looks forward to

the return of your migrating snow birds Irsquom beginning to feel the expectations in the air The humidity will soon leave this little town and there will be lots of music to hear in the evenings Boy oh boy can life get any better I donrsquot believe so

Bienvenido --Ahhh

ldquoI am a robot movIng wIth the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Dear Love DoctorsMy spouse was away most of the time of our long term marriage that I hardly know him anymore He recently retired and I am still working Over the years I involved myself with groups of interest to me Need ideas on how to get to know him again

Dear Need IdeasKnow that there will be an adjustment

period for both of you and it will take time and he will have to get to know you again too Keep your friendships and groups and invite your spouse to join you Find out what his interests are and involve yourself in his activities Learn and enjoy by taking turns doing what the other likes

Dear Love DoctorsHow do I help a friend who has a lot

of negatives in her home life Wondering how to help

Dear WonderingTell your friend you will be there for

her if she needs to talk Invite your friend out to events you know she likes (Eg Movies art shows etc) Build self esteem by giving her positive feedback when you talk to her Send your friend a card in the mail with a picture of something she likes (Eg Flowers dogs cats etc) and write ldquoThinking of yourdquo or ldquoJust becauserdquo or a personal note Sometimes in todayrsquos world of electronic communication we forget that some people still appreciate a gesture of this kind

Dear Love DoctorsWe thought we were going to have a good income when we retired but with the cost of everything keeps going up and it is getting very hard to meet day to day expenses Thus we donrsquot have much if any discretionary funds to enjoy the things we used to We feel trapped in a downward spiral

Dear TrappedUnfortunately your situation is

becoming more and more the norm Check out community centers for events and list all the ones that are free For example movies in the park local theater groups etc Often the library will have free events Volunteering is a good way to meet people and get information on events The old saying ldquothe more the merrierrdquo may apply from a group there may be others who are in the same situation Have a pot luck supper and rotate the venue with others in the group Be creative and enjoy

Are you currently going through a break up

separation divorce or the loss of someone you love

If so let me first say my heartrsquos with you and also therersquos no better time for you to consider doing a cleanse a detox from everything bad that is poisoning you

Sadness stress resentment and anger all causes the liver to secrete toxins within our system As if everything else wasnrsquot enough your own body attacks and fights itself when smothered with negative feelings

Veggies such as broccoli cauliflower kale cabbage and bok choy contain phytonutrients that help your body produce more glutathione an important antioxidant that helps prevent damage to important cellular components Other detox-friendly foods include dandelion greens which improve the flow of bile in the liver celery which increases urine output and cilantro which can help remove heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body Add a cup of green tea and you got yourself a winning combo

Another essential part of the healing process is to sleep (oh the sacrifices we make)

While yoursquore asleep your brainrsquos waste-removal team called the glymphatic system is working overtime according to research from the University of Rochester Medical Center Toxic proteins linked to Alzheimerrsquos disease build up while yoursquore awake and getting adequate shut-eye is key to making sure theyrsquore cleared out as quickly and efficiently as possible

For an extra kick if yoursquore currently trying to detox aim to spend 10 to 15

minutes in a sauna two to three times a week Treat yourself with a professional massage Make sure you drink enough water and stay hydrated Check with your doctor beforehand if you have a medical condition

Look at each meal as a chance to heal by eating the right foods you are helping your body mind and soul to recover from any kind of shock it is you are under

Make the best of all the fresh produce at hand in town stay away from chain food restaurants and go local

This is hard to do but try and stay positive soon your thoughts will become your words your words will become your attitude and you already know how that goes Remember you are a forest you might be burnt or chopped down but you will flourish back have faith give it time and breathe just breathe

ldquoas If everythIng else wasnrsquot enough your

own body attacks and fIghts It self

when smothered wIth negatIve feelIngsrdquo

Sauces- Browned Butter By Christine Yerbic

1 cube Butter (4 oz)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced

METHOD1 Melt butter in a medium skillet

over medium low heat 2 Continue cooking for about 10

minutes stirring and shaking the pan constantly until the butter is golden brown

3 For a clearer sauce strain the browned butter through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl

4 Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the minced parsley

A fine sauce is the art and essences to cooking The word ldquoSaucerdquo is a French

word that means ldquoa relish to make food more appetizing enhance and to compliment by bringing out the flavor of the food it is served withrdquo

A sauce can be a liquid cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods The French are credited for refining the sophisticated art of sauce-making

There are hundreds of different sauces all are classified under one of 5 - ldquoMother Saucesrdquo These 5 basic sauces are 1) the white sauce ldquoBechamelrdquo 2) the light stock based chicken ldquoVelouterdquo 3) the brown stock based ldquoEspagnolrdquo 4) the two based ldquoEmulsifiedrdquo sauces ldquo Hollandaise rdquo ampldquoMayonnaise 5) the oil and vinegar based ldquoVinaigretterdquo

Tomato Sauce is now considered

to be an addition to the 5 Mother Sauces since it is the base for a large variety of sauces in todayrsquos cooking

Sauces derived from one of the Mother Sauces are called a secondary sauce such as the browned butter sauce Literally there are hundreds of variations such as pan sauces purees salsas Asian dipping sauces dessert sauces to the traditional American Giblet Gravy served with the Thanksgiving Turkey

Browned Butter Sauce is simply melted butter that has been simmering over low heat until butter has turned Golden brown

The taste is bigger of butter with a nutty flavor and the aroma is enticing Steamed vegetables taste bolder with a brown butter drizzle For a simple Pasta Sauce toss browned butter with hot pasta for a quick and easy topping

Welcome back We have endured a long

hot and humid summer and are looking forward to a weather change for sure Even with our hot temperatures we had a busy time Our summer visitors from all over Meacutexico seem to have exploded This summer proved to be great for the hotels restaurant and shops here in Mazatlaacuten

REAL ESTATEThe real estate industry did very

well too with many sales to Nationals in the 1-2 million pesos range New projects seem to be selling well and new businesses are popping up all over

Although this buyerrsquos market continues the fast-paced growth of Mazatlaacuten will slowly eat up our supply and prices will rise The exchange rate has hurt us for National and Canadian buyers in the mid-range market but proves to be helpful for those selling We anticipate more and more American buyers due to the strong USD

Mazatlaacuten reminds me of a calendar one thatrsquos full of plans which prompt her inhabitants

to be bursting with anticipation all times of the year Shersquos like a department store always preparing for the next event to attract customers the holiday times the fabricated celebrations like Comedy Night bands singing their tunes around the city Ah yes This is the seasonal city one with two major seasons summer and winter

We look forward to the spring when the colorful birds grace us with their visits and we near the summer storms that transport ferocious rain showers down over our heads bringing us lush green terrain within 48 hours Not that our heads grow a green terrain that would be weird Seriously thoughhellip I can look to the east and the brown hills literally turn green with two of these wet outbursts Amazing Oh I just love the storms Mind you my body does this weird thing in the summer referred by some as becoming a sweaty wet mess but still I am content here Yes spring brings us exotic birds but at the same time our northern human friends leave us Itrsquos a bittersweet transition to summer for those of us who remain in this unique land

What is that song ldquoHello I love youhellip wonrsquot you blah blahhellip blah blahrdquo And then therersquos ldquoBreaking up is hard to dohelliprdquo The first song is for the stunning feathery

creatures that have reservations to stay here during our hot times the second is for our new and old friends who are beginning to make their exodus to the north

Itlsquos much easier to write a novel during this time as I do much less socializing I find it effortless to adapt So with that said I feel as though I have the same attitude as my city I welcome each new event that the calendar dictates me to look forward to Does this kind of thinking make me the customer that the department store is trying to attract Hmm thatrsquos an interesting thought ldquoI am a robot moving with the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Itrsquos time to change again In the next few months my city will have her arms out to embrace your return and the winter events in the city will begin For those of you that are beginning to

think about what to pack for your winter home retreat I can imagine the excitement the utter exhilaration you must feel You will soon fly into this magical city once more

Such a wonderful cycle this is I realize this type of existence is anywhere everywhere but somehow here in Mazatlaacuten it seems

more prominentLike that department store the

anticipation of the holidays then Carnaval Semana Santa (Holy Week ~ Easter)hellip we will do this again Life is grand but to me it is also full of rich moments either with the colorful birds or the people who spend their winter months down here Each season gives us something different to enjoy

New memories In closing this city looks forward to

the return of your migrating snow birds Irsquom beginning to feel the expectations in the air The humidity will soon leave this little town and there will be lots of music to hear in the evenings Boy oh boy can life get any better I donrsquot believe so

Bienvenido --Ahhh

ldquoI am a robot movIng wIth the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Dear Love DoctorsMy spouse was away most of the time of our long term marriage that I hardly know him anymore He recently retired and I am still working Over the years I involved myself with groups of interest to me Need ideas on how to get to know him again

Dear Need IdeasKnow that there will be an adjustment

period for both of you and it will take time and he will have to get to know you again too Keep your friendships and groups and invite your spouse to join you Find out what his interests are and involve yourself in his activities Learn and enjoy by taking turns doing what the other likes

Dear Love DoctorsHow do I help a friend who has a lot

of negatives in her home life Wondering how to help

Dear WonderingTell your friend you will be there for

her if she needs to talk Invite your friend out to events you know she likes (Eg Movies art shows etc) Build self esteem by giving her positive feedback when you talk to her Send your friend a card in the mail with a picture of something she likes (Eg Flowers dogs cats etc) and write ldquoThinking of yourdquo or ldquoJust becauserdquo or a personal note Sometimes in todayrsquos world of electronic communication we forget that some people still appreciate a gesture of this kind

Dear Love DoctorsWe thought we were going to have a good income when we retired but with the cost of everything keeps going up and it is getting very hard to meet day to day expenses Thus we donrsquot have much if any discretionary funds to enjoy the things we used to We feel trapped in a downward spiral

Dear TrappedUnfortunately your situation is

becoming more and more the norm Check out community centers for events and list all the ones that are free For example movies in the park local theater groups etc Often the library will have free events Volunteering is a good way to meet people and get information on events The old saying ldquothe more the merrierrdquo may apply from a group there may be others who are in the same situation Have a pot luck supper and rotate the venue with others in the group Be creative and enjoy

Are you currently going through a break up

separation divorce or the loss of someone you love

If so let me first say my heartrsquos with you and also therersquos no better time for you to consider doing a cleanse a detox from everything bad that is poisoning you

Sadness stress resentment and anger all causes the liver to secrete toxins within our system As if everything else wasnrsquot enough your own body attacks and fights itself when smothered with negative feelings

Veggies such as broccoli cauliflower kale cabbage and bok choy contain phytonutrients that help your body produce more glutathione an important antioxidant that helps prevent damage to important cellular components Other detox-friendly foods include dandelion greens which improve the flow of bile in the liver celery which increases urine output and cilantro which can help remove heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body Add a cup of green tea and you got yourself a winning combo

Another essential part of the healing process is to sleep (oh the sacrifices we make)

While yoursquore asleep your brainrsquos waste-removal team called the glymphatic system is working overtime according to research from the University of Rochester Medical Center Toxic proteins linked to Alzheimerrsquos disease build up while yoursquore awake and getting adequate shut-eye is key to making sure theyrsquore cleared out as quickly and efficiently as possible

For an extra kick if yoursquore currently trying to detox aim to spend 10 to 15

minutes in a sauna two to three times a week Treat yourself with a professional massage Make sure you drink enough water and stay hydrated Check with your doctor beforehand if you have a medical condition

Look at each meal as a chance to heal by eating the right foods you are helping your body mind and soul to recover from any kind of shock it is you are under

Make the best of all the fresh produce at hand in town stay away from chain food restaurants and go local

This is hard to do but try and stay positive soon your thoughts will become your words your words will become your attitude and you already know how that goes Remember you are a forest you might be burnt or chopped down but you will flourish back have faith give it time and breathe just breathe

ldquoas If everythIng else wasnrsquot enough your

own body attacks and fIghts It self

when smothered wIth negatIve feelIngsrdquo

Sauces- Browned Butter By Christine Yerbic

1 cube Butter (4 oz)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced

METHOD1 Melt butter in a medium skillet

over medium low heat 2 Continue cooking for about 10

minutes stirring and shaking the pan constantly until the butter is golden brown

3 For a clearer sauce strain the browned butter through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl

4 Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the minced parsley

A fine sauce is the art and essences to cooking The word ldquoSaucerdquo is a French

word that means ldquoa relish to make food more appetizing enhance and to compliment by bringing out the flavor of the food it is served withrdquo

A sauce can be a liquid cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods The French are credited for refining the sophisticated art of sauce-making

There are hundreds of different sauces all are classified under one of 5 - ldquoMother Saucesrdquo These 5 basic sauces are 1) the white sauce ldquoBechamelrdquo 2) the light stock based chicken ldquoVelouterdquo 3) the brown stock based ldquoEspagnolrdquo 4) the two based ldquoEmulsifiedrdquo sauces ldquo Hollandaise rdquo ampldquoMayonnaise 5) the oil and vinegar based ldquoVinaigretterdquo

Tomato Sauce is now considered

to be an addition to the 5 Mother Sauces since it is the base for a large variety of sauces in todayrsquos cooking

Sauces derived from one of the Mother Sauces are called a secondary sauce such as the browned butter sauce Literally there are hundreds of variations such as pan sauces purees salsas Asian dipping sauces dessert sauces to the traditional American Giblet Gravy served with the Thanksgiving Turkey

Browned Butter Sauce is simply melted butter that has been simmering over low heat until butter has turned Golden brown

The taste is bigger of butter with a nutty flavor and the aroma is enticing Steamed vegetables taste bolder with a brown butter drizzle For a simple Pasta Sauce toss browned butter with hot pasta for a quick and easy topping

Welcome back We have endured a long

hot and humid summer and are looking forward to a weather change for sure Even with our hot temperatures we had a busy time Our summer visitors from all over Meacutexico seem to have exploded This summer proved to be great for the hotels restaurant and shops here in Mazatlaacuten

REAL ESTATEThe real estate industry did very

well too with many sales to Nationals in the 1-2 million pesos range New projects seem to be selling well and new businesses are popping up all over

Although this buyerrsquos market continues the fast-paced growth of Mazatlaacuten will slowly eat up our supply and prices will rise The exchange rate has hurt us for National and Canadian buyers in the mid-range market but proves to be helpful for those selling We anticipate more and more American buyers due to the strong USD

Investing in a home or condominium could not be better right now The seasonal rental market is very strong with many agencies and owners reporting that they are booked solid through April of 2016 This is a great way to cover your expenses while still being able to visit and enjoy your home in paradise

BUYING PROCESSFor anyone not familiar with the

buying process here do not let it daunt you As a foreigner there are any special requirements such as a bank trust (Fideicomiso) and what seems like a lot of ID and paperwork The great news is that it is relatively easy due to the wonderful notarios (similar to lawyersescrow process) we have here They take care of the secondary (after contracting) paperwork and all the legalities for you

As long as you have a great Realtor (us) and a notary-you are in business

FLIGHTSOur accessibility is getting better as

well Westjet has moved direct Canadian flights up one month and there are many flights now to Guadalajera Cabo and more The ability to easily fly in and out of our great city will increase our tourism and expand numbers greatly

FIESTANovember will be a special month

for us as CanAmerican International Real Estate We will be celebrating our 1st anniversary of our Mazatlaacuten offices Stay tuned for our celebration announcements

We look forward to a busy buying and selling season and hope to hear from you soon

Mazatlaacuten reminds me of a calendar one thatrsquos full of plans which prompt her inhabitants

to be bursting with anticipation all times of the year Shersquos like a department store always preparing for the next event to attract customers the holiday times the fabricated celebrations like Comedy Night bands singing their tunes around the city Ah yes This is the seasonal city one with two major seasons summer and winter

We look forward to the spring when the colorful birds grace us with their visits and we near the summer storms that transport ferocious rain showers down over our heads bringing us lush green terrain within 48 hours Not that our heads grow a green terrain that would be weird Seriously thoughhellip I can look to the east and the brown hills literally turn green with two of these wet outbursts Amazing Oh I just love the storms Mind you my body does this weird thing in the summer referred by some as becoming a sweaty wet mess but still I am content here Yes spring brings us exotic birds but at the same time our northern human friends leave us Itrsquos a bittersweet transition to summer for those of us who remain in this unique land

What is that song ldquoHello I love youhellip wonrsquot you blah blahhellip blah blahrdquo And then therersquos ldquoBreaking up is hard to dohelliprdquo The first song is for the stunning feathery

creatures that have reservations to stay here during our hot times the second is for our new and old friends who are beginning to make their exodus to the north

Itlsquos much easier to write a novel during this time as I do much less socializing I find it effortless to adapt So with that said I feel as though I have the same attitude as my city I welcome each new event that the calendar dictates me to look forward to Does this kind of thinking make me the customer that the department store is trying to attract Hmm thatrsquos an interesting thought ldquoI am a robot moving with the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Itrsquos time to change again In the next few months my city will have her arms out to embrace your return and the winter events in the city will begin For those of you that are beginning to

think about what to pack for your winter home retreat I can imagine the excitement the utter exhilaration you must feel You will soon fly into this magical city once more

Such a wonderful cycle this is I realize this type of existence is anywhere everywhere but somehow here in Mazatlaacuten it seems

more prominentLike that department store the

anticipation of the holidays then Carnaval Semana Santa (Holy Week ~ Easter)hellip we will do this again Life is grand but to me it is also full of rich moments either with the colorful birds or the people who spend their winter months down here Each season gives us something different to enjoy

New memories In closing this city looks forward to

the return of your migrating snow birds Irsquom beginning to feel the expectations in the air The humidity will soon leave this little town and there will be lots of music to hear in the evenings Boy oh boy can life get any better I donrsquot believe so

Bienvenido --Ahhh

ldquoI am a robot movIng wIth the flow of the seasonal changesrdquo

Dear Love DoctorsMy spouse was away most of the time of our long term marriage that I hardly know him anymore He recently retired and I am still working Over the years I involved myself with groups of interest to me Need ideas on how to get to know him again

Dear Need IdeasKnow that there will be an adjustment

period for both of you and it will take time and he will have to get to know you again too Keep your friendships and groups and invite your spouse to join you Find out what his interests are and involve yourself in his activities Learn and enjoy by taking turns doing what the other likes

Dear Love DoctorsHow do I help a friend who has a lot

of negatives in her home life Wondering how to help

Dear WonderingTell your friend you will be there for

her if she needs to talk Invite your friend out to events you know she likes (Eg Movies art shows etc) Build self esteem by giving her positive feedback when you talk to her Send your friend a card in the mail with a picture of something she likes (Eg Flowers dogs cats etc) and write ldquoThinking of yourdquo or ldquoJust becauserdquo or a personal note Sometimes in todayrsquos world of electronic communication we forget that some people still appreciate a gesture of this kind

Dear Love DoctorsWe thought we were going to have a good income when we retired but with the cost of everything keeps going up and it is getting very hard to meet day to day expenses Thus we donrsquot have much if any discretionary funds to enjoy the things we used to We feel trapped in a downward spiral

Dear TrappedUnfortunately your situation is

becoming more and more the norm Check out community centers for events and list all the ones that are free For example movies in the park local theater groups etc Often the library will have free events Volunteering is a good way to meet people and get information on events The old saying ldquothe more the merrierrdquo may apply from a group there may be others who are in the same situation Have a pot luck supper and rotate the venue with others in the group Be creative and enjoy

Are you currently going through a break up

separation divorce or the loss of someone you love

If so let me first say my heartrsquos with you and also therersquos no better time for you to consider doing a cleanse a detox from everything bad that is poisoning you

Sadness stress resentment and anger all causes the liver to secrete toxins within our system As if everything else wasnrsquot enough your own body attacks and fights itself when smothered with negative feelings

Veggies such as broccoli cauliflower kale cabbage and bok choy contain phytonutrients that help your body produce more glutathione an important antioxidant that helps prevent damage to important cellular components Other detox-friendly foods include dandelion greens which improve the flow of bile in the liver celery which increases urine output and cilantro which can help remove heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body Add a cup of green tea and you got yourself a winning combo

Another essential part of the healing process is to sleep (oh the sacrifices we make)

While yoursquore asleep your brainrsquos waste-removal team called the glymphatic system is working overtime according to research from the University of Rochester Medical Center Toxic proteins linked to Alzheimerrsquos disease build up while yoursquore awake and getting adequate shut-eye is key to making sure theyrsquore cleared out as quickly and efficiently as possible

For an extra kick if yoursquore currently trying to detox aim to spend 10 to 15

minutes in a sauna two to three times a week Treat yourself with a professional massage Make sure you drink enough water and stay hydrated Check with your doctor beforehand if you have a medical condition

Look at each meal as a chance to heal by eating the right foods you are helping your body mind and soul to recover from any kind of shock it is you are under

Make the best of all the fresh produce at hand in town stay away from chain food restaurants and go local

This is hard to do but try and stay positive soon your thoughts will become your words your words will become your attitude and you already know how that goes Remember you are a forest you might be burnt or chopped down but you will flourish back have faith give it time and breathe just breathe

ldquoas If everythIng else wasnrsquot enough your

own body attacks and fIghts It self

when smothered wIth negatIve feelIngsrdquo

Sauces- Browned Butter By Christine Yerbic

1 cube Butter (4 oz)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced

METHOD1 Melt butter in a medium skillet

over medium low heat 2 Continue cooking for about 10

minutes stirring and shaking the pan constantly until the butter is golden brown

3 For a clearer sauce strain the browned butter through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl

4 Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the minced parsley

A fine sauce is the art and essences to cooking The word ldquoSaucerdquo is a French

word that means ldquoa relish to make food more appetizing enhance and to compliment by bringing out the flavor of the food it is served withrdquo

A sauce can be a liquid cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods The French are credited for refining the sophisticated art of sauce-making

There are hundreds of different sauces all are classified under one of 5 - ldquoMother Saucesrdquo These 5 basic sauces are 1) the white sauce ldquoBechamelrdquo 2) the light stock based chicken ldquoVelouterdquo 3) the brown stock based ldquoEspagnolrdquo 4) the two based ldquoEmulsifiedrdquo sauces ldquo Hollandaise rdquo ampldquoMayonnaise 5) the oil and vinegar based ldquoVinaigretterdquo

Tomato Sauce is now considered

to be an addition to the 5 Mother Sauces since it is the base for a large variety of sauces in todayrsquos cooking

Sauces derived from one of the Mother Sauces are called a secondary sauce such as the browned butter sauce Literally there are hundreds of variations such as pan sauces purees salsas Asian dipping sauces dessert sauces to the traditional American Giblet Gravy served with the Thanksgiving Turkey

Browned Butter Sauce is simply melted butter that has been simmering over low heat until butter has turned Golden brown

The taste is bigger of butter with a nutty flavor and the aroma is enticing Steamed vegetables taste bolder with a brown butter drizzle For a simple Pasta Sauce toss browned butter with hot pasta for a quick and easy topping

Investing in a home or condominium could not be better right now The seasonal rental market is very strong with many agencies and owners reporting that they are booked solid through April of 2016 This is a great way to cover your expenses while still being able to visit and enjoy your home in paradise

BUYING PROCESSFor anyone not familiar with the

buying process here do not let it daunt you As a foreigner there are any special requirements such as a bank trust (Fideicomiso) and what seems like a lot of ID and paperwork The great news is that it is relatively easy due to the wonderful notarios (similar to lawyersescrow process) we have here They take care of the secondary (after contracting) paperwork and all the legalities for you

As long as you have a great Realtor (us) and a notary-you are in business

FLIGHTSOur accessibility is getting better as

well Westjet has moved direct Canadian flights up one month and there are many flights now to Guadalajera Cabo and more The ability to easily fly in and out of our great city will increase our tourism and expand numbers greatly

FIESTANovember will be a special month

for us as CanAmerican International Real Estate We will be celebrating our 1st anniversary of our Mazatlaacuten offices Stay tuned for our celebration announcements

We look forward to a busy buying and selling season and hope to hear from you soon

Dear Love DoctorsMy spouse was away most of the time of our long term marriage that I hardly know him anymore He recently retired and I am still working Over the years I involved myself with groups of interest to me Need ideas on how to get to know him again

Dear Need IdeasKnow that there will be an adjustment

period for both of you and it will take time and he will have to get to know you again too Keep your friendships and groups and invite your spouse to join you Find out what his interests are and involve yourself in his activities Learn and enjoy by taking turns doing what the other likes

Dear Love DoctorsHow do I help a friend who has a lot

of negatives in her home life Wondering how to help

Dear WonderingTell your friend you will be there for

her if she needs to talk Invite your friend out to events you know she likes (Eg Movies art shows etc) Build self esteem by giving her positive feedback when you talk to her Send your friend a card in the mail with a picture of something she likes (Eg Flowers dogs cats etc) and write ldquoThinking of yourdquo or ldquoJust becauserdquo or a personal note Sometimes in todayrsquos world of electronic communication we forget that some people still appreciate a gesture of this kind

Dear Love DoctorsWe thought we were going to have a good income when we retired but with the cost of everything keeps going up and it is getting very hard to meet day to day expenses Thus we donrsquot have much if any discretionary funds to enjoy the things we used to We feel trapped in a downward spiral

Dear TrappedUnfortunately your situation is

becoming more and more the norm Check out community centers for events and list all the ones that are free For example movies in the park local theater groups etc Often the library will have free events Volunteering is a good way to meet people and get information on events The old saying ldquothe more the merrierrdquo may apply from a group there may be others who are in the same situation Have a pot luck supper and rotate the venue with others in the group Be creative and enjoy

Are you currently going through a break up

separation divorce or the loss of someone you love

If so let me first say my heartrsquos with you and also therersquos no better time for you to consider doing a cleanse a detox from everything bad that is poisoning you

Sadness stress resentment and anger all causes the liver to secrete toxins within our system As if everything else wasnrsquot enough your own body attacks and fights itself when smothered with negative feelings

Veggies such as broccoli cauliflower kale cabbage and bok choy contain phytonutrients that help your body produce more glutathione an important antioxidant that helps prevent damage to important cellular components Other detox-friendly foods include dandelion greens which improve the flow of bile in the liver celery which increases urine output and cilantro which can help remove heavy metals such as mercury and lead from the body Add a cup of green tea and you got yourself a winning combo

Another essential part of the healing process is to sleep (oh the sacrifices we make)

While yoursquore asleep your brainrsquos waste-removal team called the glymphatic system is working overtime according to research from the University of Rochester Medical Center Toxic proteins linked to Alzheimerrsquos disease build up while yoursquore awake and getting adequate shut-eye is key to making sure theyrsquore cleared out as quickly and efficiently as possible

For an extra kick if yoursquore currently trying to detox aim to spend 10 to 15

minutes in a sauna two to three times a week Treat yourself with a professional massage Make sure you drink enough water and stay hydrated Check with your doctor beforehand if you have a medical condition

Look at each meal as a chance to heal by eating the right foods you are helping your body mind and soul to recover from any kind of shock it is you are under

Make the best of all the fresh produce at hand in town stay away from chain food restaurants and go local

This is hard to do but try and stay positive soon your thoughts will become your words your words will become your attitude and you already know how that goes Remember you are a forest you might be burnt or chopped down but you will flourish back have faith give it time and breathe just breathe

ldquoas If everythIng else wasnrsquot enough your

Sauces- Browned Butter By Christine Yerbic

1 cube Butter (4 oz)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

2 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced

METHOD1 Melt butter in a medium skillet

over medium low heat 2 Continue cooking for about 10

minutes stirring and shaking the pan constantly until the butter is golden brown

3 For a clearer sauce strain the browned butter through a fine mesh sieve over a small bowl

4 Stir in the 2 tbsp of lemon juice and the minced parsley

A fine sauce is the art and essences to cooking The word ldquoSaucerdquo is a French

word that means ldquoa relish to make food more appetizing enhance and to compliment by bringing out the flavor of the food it is served withrdquo

A sauce can be a liquid cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods The French are credited for refining the sophisticated art of sauce-making

There are hundreds of different sauces all are classified under one of 5 - ldquoMother Saucesrdquo These 5 basic sauces are 1) the white sauce ldquoBechamelrdquo 2) the light stock based chicken ldquoVelouterdquo 3) the brown stock based ldquoEspagnolrdquo 4) the two based ldquoEmulsifiedrdquo sauces ldquo Hollandaise rdquo ampldquoMayonnaise 5) the oil and vinegar based ldquoVinaigretterdquo

Tomato Sauce is now considered

to be an addition to the 5 Mother Sauces since it is the base for a large variety of sauces in todayrsquos cooking

Sauces derived from one of the Mother Sauces are called a secondary sauce such as the browned butter sauce Literally there are hundreds of variations such as pan sauces purees salsas Asian dipping sauces dessert sauces to the traditional American Giblet Gravy served with the Thanksgiving Turkey

Browned Butter Sauce is simply melted butter that has been simmering over low heat until butter has turned Golden brown

The taste is bigger of butter with a nutty flavor and the aroma is enticing Steamed vegetables taste bolder with a brown butter drizzle For a simple Pasta Sauce toss browned butter with hot pasta for a quick and easy topping

Welcome back We have endured a long

hot and humid summer and are looking forward to a weather change for sure Even with our hot temperatures we had a busy time Our summer visitors from all over Meacutexico seem to have exploded This summer proved to be great for the hotels restaurant and shops here in Mazatlaacuten

REAL ESTATEThe real estate industry did very

well too with many sales to Nationals in the 1-2 million pesos range New projects seem to be selling well and new businesses are popping up all over

Although this buyerrsquos market continues the fast-paced growth of Mazatlaacuten will slowly eat up our supply and prices will rise The exchange rate has hurt us for National and Canadian buyers in the mid-range market but proves to be helpful for those selling We anticipate more and more American buyers due to the strong USD

Investing in a home or condominium could not be better right now The seasonal rental market is very strong with many agencies and owners reporting that they are booked solid through April of 2016 This is a great way to cover your expenses while still being able to visit and enjoy your home in paradise

BUYING PROCESSFor anyone not familiar with the

buying process here do not let it daunt you As a foreigner there are any special requirements such as a bank trust (Fideicomiso) and what seems like a lot of ID and paperwork The great news is that it is relatively easy due to the wonderful notarios (similar to lawyersescrow process) we have here They take care of the secondary (after contracting) paperwork and all the legalities for you

As long as you have a great Realtor (us) and a notary-you are in business

FLIGHTSOur accessibility is getting better as

well Westjet has moved direct Canadian flights up one month and there are many flights now to Guadalajera Cabo and more The ability to easily fly in and out of our great city will increase our tourism and expand numbers greatly

FIESTANovember will be a special month

for us as CanAmerican International Real Estate We will be celebrating our 1st anniversary of our Mazatlaacuten offices Stay tuned for our celebration announcements

We look forward to a busy buying and selling season and hope to hear from you soon

Welcome back We have endured a long

hot and humid summer and are looking forward to a weather change for sure Even with our hot temperatures we had a busy time Our summer visitors from all over Meacutexico seem to have exploded This summer proved to be great for the hotels restaurant and shops here in Mazatlaacuten

REAL ESTATEThe real estate industry did very

well too with many sales to Nationals in the 1-2 million pesos range New projects seem to be selling well and new businesses are popping up all over

Although this buyerrsquos market continues the fast-paced growth of Mazatlaacuten will slowly eat up our supply and prices will rise The exchange rate has hurt us for National and Canadian buyers in the mid-range market but proves to be helpful for those selling We anticipate more and more American buyers due to the strong USD

Investing in a home or condominium could not be better right now The seasonal rental market is very strong with many agencies and owners reporting that they are booked solid through April of 2016 This is a great way to cover your expenses while still being able to visit and enjoy your home in paradise

BUYING PROCESSFor anyone not familiar with the

buying process here do not let it daunt you As a foreigner there are any special requirements such as a bank trust (Fideicomiso) and what seems like a lot of ID and paperwork The great news is that it is relatively easy due to the wonderful notarios (similar to lawyersescrow process) we have here They take care of the secondary (after contracting) paperwork and all the legalities for you

As long as you have a great Realtor (us) and a notary-you are in business

FLIGHTSOur accessibility is getting better as

well Westjet has moved direct Canadian flights up one month and there are many flights now to Guadalajera Cabo and more The ability to easily fly in and out of our great city will increase our tourism and expand numbers greatly

FIESTANovember will be a special month

for us as CanAmerican International Real Estate We will be celebrating our 1st anniversary of our Mazatlaacuten offices Stay tuned for our celebration announcements

We look forward to a busy buying and selling season and hope to hear from you soon
