Recent Acapulco Reviews
Beautiful house, great vacation.
My family (Husband, a 7 year old boy, Mom, Sister, Aunt, Uncle and cousins) went too celebrated Christmas at the house. The helpers Gustavo and Veronica were wonderful. Gustavo went beyond attending us and Veronica cooked us delicious meals. We enjoyed the house 100%, the view is just spectacular! The house is beautiful, very clean and maintained. The only think is the heater for the pool does not work, so we could not used the pool at night. (Acapulco has a beautiful weather all year long, just in December get cold at night). We went out to a restaurant one night, but there is not need to go anywhere! We definitely would rent the house again. Esther R. San Diego, CA
Absolutely Fabulous
I stayed at this property over the long weekend in September and had agreat great time. Apaprtment is in a great location with pool right in front of it and is perfect for day or night swimming. Excellent for hanging out with family and friends with bar area. The bar is good size with 2 bedroom perfect for a single family, 2 couples or bunch of friends. The property is safe with security every where close to grocery stores, walking distance from the beack and few mins from the zocalo where there are tons of resturanuts and great night life. The apartment is on the ground floor so no stairs, clean and plenty of space to dry beach clothes. Well stocked kitchen! Acapulco is thebest place to vacation in Mexico. Definotely les crowded then cancun and cabo and much cleaner. I am plannign a visit again in December and will definitely stay at the same place again.

Banana Something
Bought a bunch of bananas that were brown speckled organic on the 75% marked down shelf. Now that I am officially sick of smoothies. banana walnut bread, and banana pudding, what can I do with them?
I've made these at least 5 times since I found the recipe in August. Great as a breakfast bar or substantial energy snack. -Grainlady
1-1/2 c. rolled oats (I also use 3/4 c. oats and 3/4 c. almond flour)
1 c. unsweetened coconut flakes
1 T. golden flaxmeal
1/2 t. salt
3/4 c. coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 c. dried blueberries (or other dried fruit)
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 c. coconut oil, warm enough to be liquid
1 T. agave nectar (or you could use honey or coconut nectar)
1 t. vanilla extract
Cooking spray.
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Combine oats, coconut, flaxmeal, salt, pecans, and blueberries. Stir in bananas, oil, agave nectar and vanilla until well combined.
Press 2 T. of mixture into a 2-1/2-inch round cookie cutter onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray (I use parchment paper). Continue with remaining mixture.
Bake at 350-degrees for 25 minutes or until fragrant and golden. Cool on pan. Yield: about 15 cookies.
[Grainlady note: If all I have is 2 bananas it works just as well. Increase the coconut oil 1 T. more and use 2 T. agave nectar instead of 1 T. I also toss in some organic cacao nibs sometimes.]

This looks yummy to me, it's from the chiquita web site:
Here is a tropically kicked-up version of banana cake, infused with extra banana and coconut. Using a coating of turbinado sugar in the pan makes a sweet crunchy coating. You can use a mini bundt cake pan or jumbo muffin pans; invert the cakes to decorate and serve. This cake is nice and light and perfect topped with fresh bananas, pineapple or strawberries. A dollop of fresh whipped cream makes this a fabulous dessert.
�� Canola cooking spray
��3 Tbsp. Turbinado sugar
��2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
��1 cup toasted Unsweetened coconut, cooled
��2 tsp. Baking powder
��1/2 tsp. Baking soda
��1/2 tsp. Salt
��3 Chiquita Bananas, very ripe , peeled
��1/2 cup Cream of coconut
��1/2 cup Low-fat sour cream
��1 tsp. Vanilla extract
��1/2 tsp. Banana extract
��1/2 cup Butter, softened
��1 cup Sugar
��2 large Eggs
�� Optional Toppings: Orange marmalade, turbinado sugar, or fresh fruit for garnish
Instructions for:
easy Tropical Chiquita Banana Coconut Mini Bundt Cakes Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat 12 jumbo muffin cups or mini bundt cake cups with cooking spray. Sprinkle the inside of each cup evenly with turbinado sugar. Tap out any excess sugar. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, toasted coconut, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and set aside. In another large mixing bowl mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Whisk in the cream of coconut, sour cream and extracts; whisk just until smooth. With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy; about 3 minutes. On medium speed, add the eggs, one at a time; beat just until blended. On medium speed, alternately add the reserved wet and dry ingredients into the butter mixture; start and end with the dry. Start each addition on low speed for 30 seconds and then medium speed just until combined. Add the batter to the prepared pans and bake on the middle oven rack for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes and then invert and cool completely on a serving plate. Add optional toppings just before serving: orange marmalade, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of turbinado sugar. ��-- Recipe idea and photo courtesy of Lorraine Stevenski for the Ultimate Chiquita Banana Recipe Contest.

I really like the banana cake that jgarner posted here some time ago. The notes are hers. I don't even like bananas, but I like this.
Banana Cake (Rose Levy Berenbaum�s Cordon Rose Cake)
Jgarner-Cooking Forum
(good as layer cake, elegant, delicate texture)
mix together:
sifted cake flour 2 cups (200 g)
sugar 3/4 c + 2 Tbs (170g)
baking soda 1 tsp
baking powder 3/4 tsp
salt 1/2 tsp
puree together:
2 large ripe bananas 1 c (227 g)
sour cream 2 Tbs or up to 1/2 c (30 g to 121 g)
2 large eggs 2 (100 g)
grated lemon zest 2 tsp
(I left this out since I don't like the flavor of lemon with banana)
vanilla 1-1/2 tsp
Butter 10 Tbs (5 oz) (142 g)
Add butter and half of pureed mixture to dry ingredients in stand mixer and mix at medium with paddle for 1-1/2 minutes. Scrape bowl and add rest of banana mixture in two batches, mixing 20 seconds after each addition. Pour into 9"x2" round pan (I just lined the bottom with parchment, no spray or butter) and bake at 350 F for 30 to 40 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in pan and then turn out onto rack to cool completely.
Hint: Use smallest amount of sour cream and 3 bananas for more pronounced banana flavor
Cream Cheese Icing
Cream cheese, softened 8 oz.
Butter, softened 5 TBS (2.5 oz)
Sour cream 1 Tbs
Vanilla extract 1/2 tsp.
Rum 1 Tbs
Powdered sugar 1 1/4 C (5 oz)
Process (yeah, the food processor) or beat cream cheese, butter, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth. Add powdered sugar and pulse until smooth. Makes enough to frost the top of a 9x13 sheet cake.
I know you make jam, and I have this recipe, although I haven't tried it and am still trying to decide whether it's a good idea or not, LOL. It came from Harvest....
Banana Jam
4 cups prepared fruit (about 11 fully ripe medium bananas)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. EVER-FRESH or Fruit Fresh Fruit Protector (optional)
1 box SURE.JELL Fruit Pectin
1/2 tsp. butter or margarine (optional)
6 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl
BRING boiling-water canner, half-full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot, soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
MASH bananas thoroughly. Measure exactly 4 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-quart saucepot. Stir lemon juice and fruit protector into prepared fruit in saucepot.
STIR pectin into fruit in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming, if desired. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly.
STIR in all sugar quickly. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
LADLE quickly into prepared jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches; add boiling water if needed. Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 5 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

Sure, it is called proliferation or "vegetative growth". Usually happens with some varieties with the first bloom in the spring. Attributed to weather conditions or high dose of nitrogen. Snap it off, the next blooms should be fine. Some varieties are more prone to this than others. Nothing to adjust. See the thread from tivoli_rose from the main Roses Forum on the topic, linked below.

The Collaboration Divide: are you lagging behind?

Breaking the rules of packaging design
"Consumers owe you nothing, you owe them everything" and "If it ain't broke, then break it". Rowland Heming immediately got our attention at STIMA's BrandCafé. It comes down to this: it's not because you put a lot of time and effort in developing and marketing a product, that a consumer is obliged to buy it. You should rather look through the eyes of the consumer and try and understand what he thinks about your product, your packaging. Read more
How to take advantage of predictive technology for an improved customer experience
A summary of Christopher Nash' talk at WebTomorrow 2015 on 'Creating Lifetime Customers… by Using Machine Learning and Predictive Personalization'. Millions of personal interactions and transactions are made on the web every single second and minute. The fact is, Data never sleeps. One way of looking at that is to say the web is still a booming platform of human interactions. Another more mercantile way to look at it is that there are millions of customer experiences every minute.Read more

If my fabrication and coding skills were up to it I'd be doing a whole control panel display for the motorcycle.
The reed switches work fine at the 1-2 pulses/second but they are bouncy I'm a bit worried about the 20-30 wheel revs a second the MC will do.
And it's not necessary to read the speed of the rear wheel - many modern bikes has a hall sensor in the primary sprocket cover and a magnet on the sprocket.
I guess not my triumph since the speedo is analog.
I'm looking at the rear sprocket to mount the magnet with a switch or sensor on the swingarm or chain guard. The front sprocket is another thought for the sensor though. It would shorten the wiring be solidly located and under cover. It could be doing 50-75 revs per second so a divider might be needed there too.
What will your display look like?

Yes it does, according to retailers that have integrated Facebook's Like button onto their sites.
In preparation for a presentation I'm making next week, I've been talking to a number of retailers who have integrated Facebook's Like button onto their sites. Nearly every retailer tells the same story—the integration is relatively simple (although almost all include the caveat that it is not as easy as Facebook claims) and it has boosted traffic—and often sales—on their sites.
Take, for instance, outdoor gear and apparel retailer Giant Nerd, which placed the Like button on all its product pages. The result? Traffic coming from Facebook grew 100%. Moreover, the number of those consumers who placed an order jumped 30% and the average order value rose 50%.
Similarly, children's clothing site Tea Collection added the Like button to individual dresses as a promotional tool. The dress with the most Likes at the end of the day is then offered at a discounted price the following day. Within 12 hours of launching the campaign the site recorded more than 3,000 Likes and site visits rose 300% above average.
Since adding the Facebook Like button or other of the social network's plug-ins to a site is free, other than the time it takes to add the necessary line of code to product pages, it may not make sense to stand on the sidelines any longer.

Rachel Uchitel, the 36-year-old nightclub hostess whose claim to fame was her multiple affairs with golfer Tiger Woods and actor David Boreanaz, tied the knot with businessman Matt Hahn on Sunday, TMZ reports.
"We are really happy and feel extremely fortunate to have one another," Uchitel tells Us Weekly in a statement.
The pair exchanged vows in front of 12 friends at Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, the same venue where Britney Spears married Jason Alexander in 2004. That marriage was annulled just days later.
The couple obtained a marriage license in Clark County, Nev., on Sunday night and filed it with the court the next morning at 8:58 a.m.
Hahn, 26, was a football player at Penn State. He and Uchitel have been living together in San Francisco for several months.
PHOTOS: Revisit Tiger Woods' sex scandal
Prior to her relationship with Hahn, Uchitel had been engaged to investment banker James Andrew O'Grady, who was killed on Sept. 11, 2001, during the World Trade Center attacks. She spoke frequently of O'Grady's death during her 2010-2011 appearance on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew."
PHOTOS: A-list women who've been cheated on
Uchitel, a University of New Hampshire graduate, wed Wall Street trader and childhood friend Steven Ehrenkranz in 2004. Their union lasted just four months.

The first day of school is Monday, Aug. 16.
LATHROP – The Lathrop City Council last week unanimously approved the conversion of the roadside stretch in front of Lathrop Elementary into a 13-foot Class II bike lane that will allow both vehicular and bike traffic.
It was a team effort that made the weekend's first Manteca Police motorcycle safety challenge such a terrific success, according to Lt. Nick Obligacion.
Golf might be a gentleman's game but its accompanying politics in Manteca historically have been more cut-throat than orderly.
LATHROP – Lathrop's first fireworks fund-raiser ended with a resounding bang at the cash register.
RIPON - It has taken a state administrative law panel more than eight weeks to reach a decision on a 29-year-tenured Ripon High School teacher who had declined to take additional course work in support of teaching English learners.
It's a safe bet playing at the upcoming Manteca-Lathrop Boys & Girls Club Texas Hold 'Em & Bingo Night will benefit kids.
Gang-related assaults continue to grow in Manteca while virtually every other category of crime is experiencing double digit drops in year-to-year comparisons.
Brock Herrin and Lane McMurtrey are two of the newest members of the Boys Scouts of America to attain the highest Rank of Eagle Scout.
LATHROP – The closure of up to two Lathrop-Manteca Fire District stations and the loss of seven to 10 firefighters are no longer a matter of if but when after the board decided not to put the parcel tax increase measure in the November elections.
Over 400 housing units split almost evenly between single-family homes and apartments are envisioned for a 74.5-acre project in southwest Manteca dubbed Terra Ranch.
Second Harvest Food Bank's second annual Chili Pot Cook Off takes place Saturday, Aug. 14, to help feed struggling families.
A man of principle, W.H. Sims of Lathrop continues to hold his head high having made his mark in the world for 105 years with a strong faith that has never wavered.
During the Memorial Day observance on May 31 at East Union Cemetery, it was announced that one of Manteca's military sons, Staff Sgt. Jesse Reyes of the United States Army, had been wounded in Afghanistan.
It's the ear-to-ear grin and the toothy smile that prove Dale Williams loves his 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V.
When teachers retire, they say goodbye to their students and to the years-long everyday grind in the classroom, but not to close friends. At least, that holds true to a group of retired teachers and staff from George McParland Elementary School. Once a month, these former coworkers take time out to catch up on post-retirement stories and simply renew close friendships over a scrumptious luncheon.
Progress is being made in Manteca's two-front effort to address chronic homeless issues.
Sonny Dhaliwal knows that there isn't an endless supply of water every time he turns on his tap.
A home fire in West Central Manteca's Walnut Place neighborhood on the southeast corner of Walnut Avenue and Alameda Street caused $125,000 in damages.
A 19-year-old Manteca man was gunned down outside the Straw Hat Pizza Parlor in the 1200 block of North Main Street at about 9 p.m. Saturday.
PG&E has two more shots using government agencies to derail South San Joaquin Irrigation District from entering the retail power business in Manteca, Ripon, and Escalon.
Bobby Ismail specializes in the rehabilitation of the body, and now it seems, the building too.
Leonardo Resendiz made a methodical point in the shooting death of a mock trial that's long been a staple of Joe Waller's Careers in Law Enforcement classes.
There's a leak at Lathrop City Hall.
It looks like almost early summer on the Stanislaus River watershed.
They are Weston Ranch's power couple. But Dale and Jill Fritchen don't see themselves as such, and never have.
The working alignment for the contentious proposed extension of a dry levee south of Manteca is directly behind parcels on the north side of Fig Avenue between Airport Way and Oleander Avenue.
Kai Burburn rocks back and forth nervously on the lip of the bowl at the new Lathrop skate park.
Free Weston Ranch. That's the rallying cry of this small community in South West Stockton.
The second annual Mother &Son Dance at St. Anthony of Padua School will be held Friday, Feb. 6, from 6 to 9 p.m.

I'd stay in a small town somewhere else. New Glarus, Mineral Point, Mount Horeb, Monroe would all be good choices. Each sort of has it's own ethnic vibe New Glarus is Swiss, Mineral Point is English/Welch/Cornish, Mount Horeb is Norwegian, and Monroe is more German. If I had to pick just one I'd pick New Glarus.

Then the next day I think we'll stop at Cedar Grove Cheese in Plain, Wi and if we have time, stop at the House of Rock in Spring Green, heading to La Crosse. That looked kind of interesting. Anyone been there?

The Lincoln County Coalition against Domestic Violence has scheduled the vigil, planned for 8:30 p.m. on the lawn at the Lincoln County Courthouse.
The event is in memory of Tara Osburn. Authorities said she was killed by her estranged husband, Anthony Ray Osburn, at Tara Osburn's Lincoln County home last week. Deputies said Anthony Osburn later got into a shootout with authorities and was killed.

radiant barrier revised
In a discussion that was so eloquently pulled concerning radiant barrier, an article was posted that gives anyone out there a pretty good lesson on the pros and cons of radiant barrier especially if you scroll down and go through the discussions of the sites forum/comments section. Radiant barrier is as misunderstood as most any insulation type or materials types for that matter when you rely on mfgr's/distributors claims. Research of what works in your area coupled with the correct install is what makes efficiency happen. Radiant barrier as I have learned has little to do with r-value and shouldn't even be considered an insulation but rather it coincides with insulations concerning heat gain/loss. At the advise of an ex NASA engineer who worked extensively with radiant barrier at NASA layed out an install for our build for it's intended use and we are happy with the results. It might not make sense in other regions and our application is for heat loss control which isn't radiant barriers most popular consideration according to the hype. It's geared more for heat gain control, but despite beliefs that heat gain control is it's only advantage in attic areas, it is accomplishing what we were looking for on our build coupled with our insulation/venting type. It works for us but wont for others that's why it's so important to research your zone and area and stay away from mfgr's claims. An r-38 batts insulation might be close to r-38 in some applications where in others it is far less,(or greater if coupled with a companion that compliments it). It's like saying you are going to get 50 years out of a claimed 50 year shingle which could happen in some areas where you will only get half that in other areas. I just brought this back up in the event others are curious about radiant barrier where the previous thread was wisked away in cyber space! Here's the article:
Here is a link that might be useful: radiant barrier
If you took the time to actually read the article and the comments below it, you'd see there are cases pro and con along with some other useful information for unbiased folks unlike yourself who throw it out that Im representing a product which I'm not. Your comment shows that you are as one sided in your thoughts as you think I am on this topic. Just thought it might be useful for those looking into radiant and thought it was a decent article. There are many more out there including the epa's/gov website, building science, green building.com, etc.
Iam sorry if I was rude but I just thought it was strange you would post that particular article after what you said.
To sum it up it says the only place RBs might make sense is when you substitute a comparably priced RB backed roof sheathing with regular roof sheathing in a vented attic that contains HVAC ducts or equipment.
As any good energy efficient designer knows, HVAC components inside of a vented attic is not a good idea. Where exactly do RBs fit in now? As the author points out, there is one other good situation: an un-insulated barn.
That leaves most of us to conclude that "The effective and economic use of radiant barriers is limited."
While I respect Mr. Martin's findings, there are many effective ways for r.b. to work in conjunction with many insulation types, venting applications, heat gain as well as heat loss control if you would broaden your resaerch and not base it solely on one's opinion. I can give you the number for the person who layed out the install on our build and you can get his take on it's effectiveness as well as economic use. He will tell you as you aleady know the dont's and lack of effectiveness on certain install aplications and as with most sciences, it's all about geographic location concerning effective energy saving steps that work in that particular area. Here in the mojave desert,(where we currently reside), where ducting is run in blistering hot attics, I have succesfully cooled down attics with radiant barrier by using a procedure that involves continous run ridge venting, continous run soffit venting coupled with the r.b. being place on the underside of the rafters, (trusses in all cases here), where each rafter space is an independent air channel trapping the heated air and pushing it up and out the ridgeventing by way of flow from the soffits. I disagree with Mr. Martin that tech sheild osb foil faced sheathing is at all effetive as there is no where for the heat to go due to lack of air spacing. Real world application/installs here in the mojave and if interested you can contact me by e-mail and I will give you those clients numbers along with Mr. Sumpolec who retired as a NASA engineer and worked extensively with radiant barrier who was instrumental in laying out for heat loss control on our build in the sierra nevadas. If you scroll down further on your article, you'll find positives experienced by commenters who are using r.b succesfully. You need to read up entirely.
I'm sure Mr. Sumpolec knows what he is doing and I'm sure Sierraeast's house is better designed because of it.
However, for those of us who are expected to design these systems without the assistance of a consultant, advice doesn't get any better than that offered by Martin Holladay. Searching for his comments at the JLC.com can be quite an education.
Thanks Sierraeast; great article and discussion although I lost my concentration after 40 of them and missed the ones you are talking about.
good article sierraeast.
I always love the comments of both greenbuilding advisor
and energy vanguard's blogs.
don't know how I missed the thread that was
pulled. I usually participte in RB threads.
I've advocated the use of radiant barriers for
a long time in my hot humid climate.
I installed my RB quite some time ago.
(R-30 attic no ductwork in attic, RB on undersides
of rafters with single sided foil facing into attic space)
no recessed lights all penetrations between attic
and living space are well sealed.
in my area, in new construction products like
techshield were popluar for a while..but as we
continue to stupidly put ducts in attics..
more folks are opting to create an unvented
attic with open cell foam.
this is happening in both new and existing homes.
the competition for RB in my area is open
cell foam which covers the problems of
openings in ceilings from attic to living space,
and equipment & ducts in attic.
if we would DESIGN for ducts in living spaces
then we wouldn't have to spend 3x the insulation
cost for foam to overcome holes in air barrier
and ducts/equipment in hot attics.
one cost effective way to combine both foam
& RB (again with ducts in conditioned space)
is to put RB at roofline, and use foam at the
attic floor. even a minimal amount of 2" would
seal most holes. then insulate with conventional
insulation to required value.
RB's have been around a LONG time.
we use a form of RB on exterior walls.
exp polystyrene sheathing boards with foil
facing out on exterior of walls. the
foil isn't as beneficial as in the attic
where the sun shines all day, as walls usually
only get sun for certian hours of the day.
it always makes me mad to see the RB folks that
come around spring & fall to sell RB laid on
top of exisitng attic insulation on the attic floor.
that too was part of the comments in the link.
thanks again for the link.

Not the best, Not the worst. Good beds, Nice decorPosted Sep 5, 2012
Pros: The beds were good. The decor was cozy.
Cons: The hotel staff and the bath fixtures.
Location: Good location. Dennys was right across the street.
I wanted a Non smoking room and ended up with a smoking room which was awful. I was able to switch to a room with 2 queens that was really nice. The shower fixtures weren't in good shape. The air conditioning needed help. It was old and worn out. It did work though. The staff was terrible. The woman was never in the office. If you needed something you had to go find her. It was ok for the price. I couldn't get the hotel I wanted because everything was sold out due to a concert that weekend.
by Rossfrom Mancos, CO 81328, USA
Worst motel on Horizon Drive!Posted Aug 20, 2012
Pros: Price only.
Cons: Air conditioning never shut off and beds were grim!
Location: Good location and walking distance to Applebee's restaurant.
Motel room rate was "get what you pay for" I guess - have stayed at 4 or 5 motels within 2 blocks of this one over the years and it is the only true "bad one". The other motels were about $15 per night more then they usually charge and had no rooms with 2 queens.

Very poor roomPosted Aug 5, 2012
Bathroom was dirty. Mold around the shower knobs. Very poor upkeep. Air conditioner was extremely noisy and didn't work very well. Refrigerator had a horrible smell inside.
by A verified travelerfrom Rangely, CO
Not impressed.Posted Oct 25, 2011
I told Expedia we must have ground floor or elevator. Then called motel to confirm this. They tried to give us second floor but gave us ground when we insisted. Our time was short and this would have been a disaster if they hadn't had a ground floor room. Room became cold at night and no apparent heat controls available. Bottom sheets on bed did not tuck in.
by A verified travelerfrom Grand Junction, CO
Never AgainPosted Oct 13, 2010
While the hotel personnel were very helpful and professional; the overall experience was terrible. The room I was given was not what I booked, there were NO locks on the door, no closet to hang my clothes, the bathroom was so small I could barely fit into it, and the room smelled so badly of urine. The pictures on the site were NOT accurate of what I walked into.
for Couplesby A verified travelerfrom Denver, CO
Ok for the pricePosted Sep 16, 2010
I liked that they had a microwave and fridge as well as a nice-sized table and 4 chairs to sit at. Would have appreciated cleaner carpets. The noise next door and especially above was very noticeable.
for Familiesby A verified travelerfrom Denver, CO
Fine for a nightPosted Sep 16, 2010
Kind of an older motel, a little seedy, but the staff was friendly and professional and the room was as clean and nice as we could expect for sixty bucks. We were just sleeping for a few hours on our way down to Lake Powell...

Very goodPosted Sep 16, 2010
very nice and would stay again

I use crispy garlic particularly a lot to top vegetables, soups and mashes. It adds texture, flavour and another dimension to dishes. Sage likewise.
Truly it is quite easy. Heat about a Tblspn olive oil in a pan over medium heat, and then cook slivers of garlic for 30 seconds until golden.
Likewise for sage leaves. Heat a Tblspn of oil over a medium heat and fry the sage leaves for about 1 minute until crisp and translucent. They will splatter, so be careful.
Drain both on absorbent paper and scatter over your soup, mash or vegetables. Continue reading
