Question, all the fancy meals is that because of the fridges? Does the meat, like the steaks on NYE for example, last 6 days in the fridges okay? The meat I brought on my trip was frozen, but by the 4th day I had to have eaten all of it or thrown it out.
I think I might need to bump the fridge up my priority list a little. :chowtime:

During my reentry into the US (into Calexico), I was sent by the entry inspector for a secondary inspection.
Of course, this was prompted by the fact that I had a dead goat skull secured to my platform with the Quick Fist mount... So, I drove over to the inspection station, where a USDA inspector greeted me kindly, and proceeded to mosey on back to my now regrettable mascot.
To my surprise, he chuckled a bit, and then asked if it was a dog skull. "nope, its a goat". "no problem" was his reply, patting it as if alive, and he proceeded to check the rest of the vehicle.
He walked around to the passenger side and took a look inside. "is that seaweed?" he asked, pointing at a bag near Stephanie's feet. Holding back a smile, Steph responded "No, that is my knitting bling" "a scarf". Clearly embarrassed, the inspector said "sorry, no offense I hope".
Of course now I am trying not to fall on the floor laughing, as the exchange between Steph and the inspector became too much to bear.
But, the inspection did continue, and he found one prohibited item: Eggs.
He was very kind, and just informed me of the fact that eggs are not allowed to be brought back from Mexico. He also gave me a list of items, some of which were new to me.
I have put together a little page to help all of you out too
Oddly enough, seaweed was not on the list

Well worth the wait! :clapsmile: :bowdown:
Awesome pictures Kristina, Pasquale and Robb. Its not as good as being there in person I'm sure, but its nice to see several different perspectives on what Baja has to offer. And maybe more importantly, what it doesn't have to offer.
I mentioned to Chuck recently how I've always felt the pull to the north, towards Alaska. However all of these Baja adventures have me wondering if I have not paid close enough attention to what's available south of the border. Kind of ironic considering I used to own a Mexican restaurant....
Thanks to everyone for sharing/rubbing it in!

Chuck, We froze all the seafood for the Paella, then we loaded the sea food at the bottom of the Engel Fridge - We kept the fridge at about 30 degrees - the food on top stayed about 40 - The seafood was still partially frozen after 5 days. We were able to buy fresh shrimp on the beach at Concepcion Bay keeping us un shrimp quesadillas for the next few days.
When you get the fridge you will wonder how you have been able to live without it for so long.
Scott, Thanks for taking the US re-entry heat off the rest of us Excellent resource page
