Thanksgiving at Punta Chivato, Baja, Mexico

I was lucky enough to be Warren's guest at his house in Punta Chivato and we were invited for Thanksgiving at one of the grander houses on the point.  Here is the hacienda.

It was a pot luck dinner, everyone bringing food with the host cooking the turkey.

19 of us sat down to the scrumptious buffet style roast turkey dinner.  What a fabulous place to do this I thought to myself.

On the terrace for drinks.  There was, among other choices, home brewed chardonnay and also a divine smoked fish pate made by one of the fishermen.  I have been promised a freshly caught fish for perhaps tomorrow?

This is their Mexican summer house.  The owners live in Oregon in the US.  The only thing to remember there is no electricity supply.  You have to have your own generator, conserve power and use battery power as much as possible.  And it is seriously remote.  But beautiful.

Jeff was as good as his word.  The next day he brought around this lovely yellowtail that Warren is displaying.  Even with Warren's less that wonderful filleting technique we had two memorable fish dinners. Warren confessed that on his first attempt he left too much flesh on the bone but he was better on the fish's other side.  But the seagulls were happy.  So how about that, a lovely thanksgiving dinner and a fish too. Wonderful American hospitality I call it.
