bigger bowls.

sometimes,
there's so many ingredients in one place,
the only real way to get 'em poppin' out and going off
is to find a bigger bowl.
uh-huh.
lucky for me,
hefty hand-thrown pottery is in abundance over here;
we're well stocked with sexy stoneware in the creaky cupboards
of the Folk Life and Liberty Fortress.
word up.
so,
when a seriously shark-gluttonous storm of self-destructive dinnertime
mayhem is threatening to overflow onto the table?
yuuuuuuup.
you just need a bigger bowl.
check the twice-as-big cauldron of clay-type teleport:

yeah!
a foot in diameter, my ninjas.
twelve inches takes fatbelly brutality to eleven.
recognize-
noodoo bowl was in full effect last night, neighbors.
red, orange, and yellow peppers;
shiitake, oyster, and portobello mushrooms;
celery, carrots, shallots, scallions, fresh basil leaves, and garlic;
mirin-seasoned molasses-sweetened sesame-oiled orange ginger tofu;
extra-big ropes of glutinous ramen noodles;
bok choy, bean sprouts, green cauliflower, and half-mini-mandarines!
...duders,
so much sh!t it wouldn't even fit in anything less than a cavernous crockery.
and that's no jokes.
don't even front like that's not a s'chuan vat of vitality.
you know it is and you know you like it.
we keep it expert when it's time to overdo it.
in fact,
it might be the only thing we keep consistent.
too much of everything,
even the bad things.
that's pretty much the way it has to be.

wednesdays are weird, kids.
for serious.
i mean,
it's hump day for regular folks.
and wotan's day for warrior poets.
no humping for us, y'know?
awwwwwwww, man!
that's a hard style, all that lack of hard pounding.
ah, well,
the trade-off is an overabundance of wisdom.
and being a wiseass is better than getting some A*.
or is it?
i don't even know.
but,
i'm hoping that it will be.
today is the day, and it's the last day off i've got this week.
i'll make it count for something, for sure.
wiseacre cracking and responsible adult chores an' that-
experiences aren't always positive,
but the negative ones make more of a difference in who we become.
real talk;
never quiet, never soft.....
