Sunday on the beach in Tulum

I had a really good time this past Sunday at the beach down here. My oldest aquaintance is one of the local Mayan Healers I met during 9/11. Her name is Lili. She's pretty far out, but one of the kindest people I know. Sunday afternoons she has a Jam session at her place. This time we cooked chiccharones. It was so much fun. They were huge. Maybe a foot by two or so. We cooked them in sort of an industrial wok with a flat bottom. As soon as they turned golden we yanked them out and salted them heavily, and hung them up an a clothesline to drain. They had several types of fresh chilles that they ground up with salt and vinegar....you started mild and worked your way up the heat ladder.By the end you were on fire, but you couldn't stop.
The crowd was pretty much the cast from the Mexicans lined up applying to be bad guys in Blazing Saddles....One guy was a really good guitar player....the rest of us just picked up something and beat on it. I had 2 rusted out solar lights.They were drinking beers and shooting really really cheap white rum, smoking pot about as bad....it was a blast
