  • I Am Leaving the U.S
    April 11, 2014 Password for the STANDARD Newsletter Archive is: PCAPP I AM LEAVING THE U.S. I went on a six day working vacation this past week to La Paz, Mexico. Guess whose boat was at the fuel dock down there? The answer in a minute. While there I overheard some Gringo’s talking about how they were fed up with the corporate life back in the states. He worked for Cisco, and she was a real estate agent in the Southern California area. They had plans for eventually leaving the U.S. behind and moving to Mexico permanently. 1 I have been going to Mexico since I was eight years old. I was fortunate to have a father who had the spirit of adventure, and a mother that was happy to tag along. We crossed the border almost every other Saturday to watch the horses run at Agua Caliente racetrack in Tijuana. My good mother would also make sure that I went to church the next day. Back then, I was busy inventing a system that would predict the final time that a horse would run. It was quite a formula. I was in my mid-teens at the time. I have been a number cruncher my entire life. Finally at the age of 19, I hit the pick six at Caliente. I had six straight winners using my system and I left the track with bundles of fifty dollar bills. I believe it added up to about $26,000 overall for a $16 bet. Caliente closed a few years later, but it sure left me with some good memories.

  • Spring and Summer Salads
    Spring and Summer Salads Back in the early salad eating days (circa 1st century CE), ancient Greeks and Romans gathered and layered raw vegetables, drizzling vinegar, oil, and herbs over top to create the world’s first salad. During this healthy, raw food diet craze, Hippocrates sparked a huge debate when he declared that eating raw vegetables in a salad before supper helps clear the intestines of obstructions. Critics backlashed and said that the vinegar of dressing affected the flavor of wine, so salads should be eaten after the main course. Today, most salads are happily consumed before the main course. Flash forward to the Middle Ages – Artistic transformations and revivals were made during this Renaissance period, including green leafy experimentation. The dinner salads that were created during this time are extremely similar to the ones we still eat and enjoy today. Today, salads are available in almost every restaurant, cafe, and even gas station around the country. But what did the United States do to create their own salad tradition? As Todd Frye from the nostalgic Pop-Cult website eloquently puts it, “As an American food, salads were relatively unimportant until the back to nature movement of the 60’s. This was a meat and potatoes nation well through the T-bone-on-the- grill fifties.” Popular Salads: Caesar: Invented in 1903 Giacomo Junia, an Italian cook in Chicago, Illinois. Giacomo called the salad Caesar Salad after Julius Caesar, the greatest Italian of all time OR Invented in 1924 by Caesar Cardini, who invented it in Tijuana, Mexico in 1924 on the Fourth of July weekend.

Avenida Revolucion is perhaps the area where this is most obvious. Located in the heart of Tijuana, this hybrid area showcases elements of both the American and Mexican cultures. This border city has long been linked with the economy and traditions of the United States via the neighboring city of San Diego. Tijuana offers a variety of attractions, including world-class restaurants, lively nightclubs, fascinating museums, colorful craft shops and modern shopping malls. You can also enjoy beautiful golf courses, beaches, bullfights, greyhound racing and many attractions that cannot be found in any other Mexican city. ROSARITO South of Tijuana and just 25 minutes away from the American city of San Diego is the town of Rosarito, where the main attractions are its beautiful beaches along with golf courses, spas and exciting nightlife. The town also has incredible sunsets, exquisite cuisine and an excellent climate that makes it ideal for year-round travel. Visitors can enjoy various water sports, cycling, horse-back riding and ATV tours or just relax on the oceanfront. 1 A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY Tijuana’s name comes from the union of the words “Tia” (aunt) and “Juana”, as this great city was once the home of Tia Juana, a celebrated early landowner who lived here during the nineteenth century.
