oh, c'mon.
you know.
yuuuuuuuuup.
the most magnificent day of the week:
taco tuesday!
i get with that.
i get ON that.
i doo-doo that soft flour flapping foldover fresh-to-death freaky sh!t.
how could i not?
i mean, really,
rules is rules,
and superfly flavors are always welcome in the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress test kitchen.
real talk,
when i'm on some crucial taco vibes,
the flow of energy is borderline supernatural.
and when there's quick-mix pix, too?
neighbors,
the profile of compositional texture and taste goes to eleven
on some stratospheric out-of-this-world low-earth-orbital outer-space blood magic.
....and i like that a LOT.
check the black-on-brown-on-beans-on-beans-type teleport:
TACO EXXXPLOSIVO!!
yeah!!
excuse the white-out wash-out of the photo (or don't)
but the pressure to get these F*ers into our faces was imperative.
black beans, with yellow and red onion, cumin, oregano, thyme, GPOP,
red, and orange, baby sweet bell peppers, jalapeno, AND poblano,
plus a hefty dash of smoked paprika, all sauteed together in olive oil,
as the main event.
but,
nootch-boosted double-buttery refritas, with GPOP and peppers and onions
were the co-headliners on the same main stage of soft flour ferocity.
do you toast your tortillas?
why not??
you should know by not that that's the good-good for your face, ace.
recognize.
i can hang out with a lettuce lattice woven throughout my meal,
if that added cool crisp element elevates the overall bigger picture.
sometimes tho,
that's not enough crispy coolwater crawnch.
that was certainly the case in THIS instance,
so, there are also pea tendrils, and cubed up baby cucumber bits, too.
it's great to get that raw uncut uncooked vegetable goodness alongside those meaty bean bits.
mmmhmmmmm.
and vegan sour cream IS invited, and DID attend, as well.
expert.
tomatoes are for tacos.
that's a thing.
and when you put 'em to 'em,
you get a bigger, better, burlier, more delicious and rewarding exxxperience.
who doesn't like that?
right?
word up.
i got cilantro on those jauns,
AND i got red onion sprankles on there, for even MORE awesomeness.
too much is the right amount, man.
don't you dare forget that you don't ever have to settle for a subpar taco supper.
no way.
you deserve the big deluxxe hottness, and with just a little baby bit of planning,
you can HAVE it.
....
and that brings me to my favorite portion of the program.
yup.
the quick-mix-pix!!!
this version has:
onion, carrot, radish, cucumber, and one verrry hot jalapeno.
plus, the brine bath of pink salted cider vinegar with organic sugar.
mmmmmmm.
heat and time make for a fast-actin' masterpiece of tangy tightness,
to get TILTY AF with on top of those amazing circles of mexicanish beauty.
YEAH!

and,
y'boi nate came through with the homemade habanero green apple lacto-fermented ho'sauce.
damn.
it's got flavor for days,
heat for ages,
and tang for posterity.
front of sharpness,
midrange crisp fresh flavor, and side-tongue lingering hot fire
all complemented the ever-lovin' livin' F* out of my beans and things.
lucky me, lucky us, lucky tacos.
i love it when active participation meets concentrated conscious creation.
that's synergy, bro,
and that's DOPE.
***********
we had a full-blown busy day yesterday.
what a great feeling.
i saw some old friends,
i didn't immediately attack the white-privilege academics
who pontificated about their personal brand of blatant irrational do-goodery,
i tattooed three first timers,
and i made a bunch of appointments for the future.
plus, nate killed it all damned day, too;
AND,
we still had tacos at a reasonable hour.
that's a good one,
and that's all good news-
honestly,
i can't accurately nor adequately express enough gratitude for all of it...
it's ALL really happening, and i'm having trouble containing myself;
never quiet, never soft.....
