The Taco Ladies

Part of the fun for those who attended the Meow Mixer was being able to eat the food made by the Taco Ladies. They arrived with part of the food pre-prepared, but made the tacos on a portable grill so we could see the process. The precision with which just the right amount of dough was used fascinated me--not a gram more or less than was needed as each ball of dough was rapidly slapped on the grill. The tacos were perfect and the fillings and vegetables were delicious!

Dos Amigos

Edgar, El Director de Amigos de las Animales, and mi esposo Jaime at the Meow Mixer. Do you like the kitty-kat ears on Jaime as much as I do?? (All "worker-bees" at the affair wore them; I'm surprised that Jaime was willing to wear one!)

Meow Mixer

While living here this winter, Jim and I met a group of dedicated people who use their energy and money to round up stray cats, neuter then, foster them, and care for them in multiple ways. We decided to hang out with them and participated in a small way to their program. On Sunday afternoon and early evening the Meow Mixer, a benefit for these stray animals in Mazatlan, was held on a large patio with a spectacular view of the ocean. Part of the proceeds from the 150 people who attended will also be donated to Amigos de las Animales where mi esposo has been volunteering by walking dogs at the shelter during our stay here. The mixer was well-organized with food, beverages and a silent auction. During this coming week I will post more pictures so you too can enjoy our gala celebration. The group pictured above were the people who helped make it happen and who worked during the mixer. Jim took the picture, but he'll appear in other photos this week. Stay tuned!!
