Yes, I’m back. I know you missed me but I had important business to do in the film industry. You know I starred in a feature film a couple of years ago, right? Well now I have set my sights on replacing the inadequate Paul Hollywood on the Great British Baking Show. I am perfect for this gig and I was off to do another screen test. Somehow my limo transport back to the White Pill had a glitch and I missed them at several stops. Not sure how they survived. (Ed Note: he stowed away in a light case with NatGeo film crew and when they discovered him in St. Louis they sent him FedEx. Unfortunately FedEx finally found us in Arizona. So he is back and I am out $40 for his delivery.)

I am slightly behind now on my reviews - let’s catch up a couple. First the unique breakfast at The Living Harvest Bakery, Mimbres, NM.

This is a special place in an old church. Breakfast is free. And it is good. They also sell coffee by the pound, bread, granola and accept donations for the food if you wish. Such a cool idea. But the best part (beside free) they had great people working there. Excellent way to state the trip to Gila Cliff Dwelling.

Rating by Cadillac, Free equals Five Antlers every time.

Second. TranquilBuzz Coffee shop in Silver City, They had a decent latte and I was famished for a latte so my judgement may be impaired. But this place was a bit odd. I imagine if you knew the folks etc, but it was hard to figure out even where to order. Plus there was singing. The whole town of Silver City is like a time warp to the 1960’s and 70’s. People on the street playing hand drums, art galleries that would have fit that old culture perfectly. Just a surreal experience.

Cadillac rating: 3 Antlers

Third. Chocolate Lady ice cream in Mesilla was a welcome respite from the ice cream desert we were in. It was a tiny shop with a limited selection in prepackaged servings but it was pretty good. Chocolate tasted a bit on the pudding side. Not a bad thing.

Cadillac rating - 3.5 Antlers.
