The Chronicles Of Fridgia

There once was a man and his fridge. 

More to the point, there once was a man sitting on a kitchen chair in front of his open fridge and staring into it for hours on end. 

I never knew exactly what the hell my father was doing when I would find him hunched forward in his housecoat, bathed in the holy glow of that Westinghouse fridge and seemingly ensconced in matters of crucial importance known only to him, the mustard and the ketchup. Every now and then while going about my kid-ness, I’d stop for a curious few seconds and observe. It would seem that the outside world was no more as he peered within and rummaged. I watched him pick things up, check containers, occasionally taste their contents, put things back, lapse into apparently heavy pondering, and then start the whole thing right over again. To be honest…

LA PAZ TACO TASTER: 8 TERRIFIC TAQUERÍAS TO TRY

The taco is a magical little thing that we at The Hungry Herald apparently hardly ever knew, and a few months in Mexico have let us know just how unacquainted we were. From bone marrow to manta ray, the things we’ve found tucked into tortillas so far have had us wowed and re-arranging our brains – which are great in tacos by the way, in case you hadn’t heard. If you’ve checked out our previous post, you know that we’re head-over-heels in love with the city of La Paz, and of the countless reasons for this, the tacos…

TACOSCAPE MEDITATIONS

Remember Chi-Chi’s? I don’t.

Although the Tex-Mex restaurant chain with the eyebrow-raising name (go ahead, Google its meaning in Spanish) was big when I was a kid, I don’t quite recall ever making it out to one of their locations, despite my fascination with reports that they were somehow deep-frying ice cream. I guess we weren’t all that hungry for chimichangas in our household. We never went to Taco Bell either for that matter…

DIVORCE NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD

Just wow. In Cabo San Lucas, at Land’s End, lies a pair of beaches that together and separately are simply in a league of their own. Playa de Los Amantes (or Playa del Amor) and Playa del Divorcio share the very tip of the Baja peninsula, just shy of the spot where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet in spectacular fashion. Two sides of the same cape, if you will…

HAIR OF THE DOG, HEAD OF THE COW: BEATING A BAJA HANGOVER

Dried bull penis and rabbit poop tea. 

Ok, now that we have your attention. It was September 2022, Cabo San Lucas, and someone had a hangover. Nothing apocalyptic, I could still operate an iPhone and displace myself from point A to point B, but I needed treatment for my crapulence. Preferably tasty treatment, and relatively fast. 

A quick rummage through the Google drawers in search of hangover remedies reveals an impressive list of recommendations stemming from all corners of the globe, and all corners of plausibility…

CABO ELECTRICO: BREAKFAST. BEACH. BOOZE. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.

“There’s a sleepy town, south of the border, If you go there once, you’ll be there twice.”
– Cabo Wabo by Van Halen.
Not so sleepy anymore, that’s for damn sure. Back when Van Halen frontman Sammy “Right Now” Hagar penned these words sometime deep in the ’80s, Cabo San Lucas was just beginning to show signs of paving its way from tuna-centric fishing village to the tourist-centric supernova it has now become. Part of the vanguard of those sniffing out the party potential of this town early on, Hagar and friends would eventually jump-kick the doors open…
