that's no joke.
everything awesome is folded away inside,
so whatever's on top is what shows,
and even from a side view, it's mostly shell,
and barely the big action......
unless you build your own,
and allow the ingredients to be showcased BEFORE they get enveloped.
smart.
however,
i tried that technique last week,
and the logistics of a hot-vs-cold-vs-tortilla trio of plates
spread all the food out across the whole counter
to the point where,
while it still all tasted all-the-way amazing,
the pictures just didn't do it any kind of justice.
not so this time, neighbors-
nope.
because this time,
i broke out the big fiesta platter.
i did.
and it worked wonders for the real-life documentation.
check the teleport:
TACOOOOOS!!!
full-circle flips,
ready for all that coolwater crisp,
and even readier for more of those hot protean protein blops.
word up.
guys,
i still prefer flour tortillas.
yup.
those crawnchy ones do nada for me,
and as much as i think i'll eventually need a tortilla press,
flour roundies do the job,
and might even be worthy of a promotion while they're at it.
so what are we lookin' at?
shredded spinach, perfectly ripe vine-style tomato, red onion, pea tendrils,
and my continuously improving four-pepper guacamole.
those should all be obvious.
the refrieds are getting pretty heavy-duty these days, too.
exxxtra-buttery, g.p.o.p. activated, nootch blasted, onion upgraded,
and dicey chilis/cilantro/ho' sauce elevated into a filthy, but eloquent hill of beans.
mmmmmmmm.
lime jalapeno tofu, with cilantro?
duders,
the flavors of that sh!t are preposterous.
lime zest, and lime juice, and g.p.o.p. and just a hint of fresh onion and garlic,
with coriander and peppers keeping it muy real throughout-
there wasn't any trace of even one cube of that 'fu
after the first round of round wraps wrapped up.
expert.
so,
what about when there's vegan roast taking up nominal space in the fridge?
and you've got leftover sausages that just seem to be neverending?
and red beans from last time cold chillin' next to 'em?
friends,
we put all of that in with all the odds and ends of the peppers and onions and garlic,
and shredded a fresh tomato, and tossed in some green onions,
with cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne, and black pepper.....
and the chili-style taco filling we ended up with was so good
we kept at it well beyond the limits of a normal stomach,
and deep into the distended and engorged categories of gluttony.
why?
because,
too much is the right amount,
and good can't be all that good if you honestly think that too much of it is possible.
haha.
limes for squeezin',
sprankles for everything,
and togetherness for my very small northern family.
...
now,
if only my kids were here to really close the cipher and complete the circle.
awwww.
just another 'nother week until the full and ferocious, fresh, flavorful,
furious family togetherness gets underway again.
it's been an overlong lapse in Folk Life & Liberty Fortress peoples party time-
but it's coming,
and i'm counting the days.
it's all really happening,
and it's speeding along.
every day surprises me by showing up early,
and every night seems to get a little shorter, somehow.
yikes.
time flies, or runs, or races away,
and in between meals,
there's so much work to do,
so many people to miss,
so much that requires attention and participation.
real life ensues, pursues, peruses, but never pauses;
never quiet, never soft.....
