TUESDAY BOWL!

goodbye february!!!
and not a moment too soon.
twenty-eight days was enough for me.
and really, it felt more like fifty-six years,
if the truth be told.
damn, dudes.
it was one heck of a loooooong lonely month.
sure it was jam-packed with tattoos,
and food,
and cruisin' around with crabtree.
but still,
i'm zero percent sad to see it go.
i'm ready to represent on some marching forward.
but, before we head into spring-ish,
we still had one more taco tuesday to dominate.
mmhmm.
after a entire morning full of fat-face-stuffing,
and an afternoon activated with some hot, thick, fat sicilian-style square pizza
from the joint next door to AMPERSAND TATTOO with our buddy todd,
i opted for taco bowls, instead of the taco board i usually operate on.
yes!
tasty bowls for our bellyholes, bros.
that's what was poppin' at the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress last night.
check the teleport:

kaBOOM!!!!!
purple kale, baby kale, and lettuce form the foundation.
over that, there's steamed cauliflower.
and we topped that off with ho'sauce-activated, GPOP'd black beans,
sauteed with onions, garlic and poblano, jalapeno and serrano pepper.
tight.
that's homemade salsa fresca on top.
THAT'S that good-good, guys.
yup.
tomatoes, tomatillos, garlic, red onion, sweet onion, green onion,
jalapeno, poblano, cubanelle, red sweet baby bell pepper, and cilantro;
all seasoned up with a shake of GPOP,
and limes by the squeezeful, too.
with pink salt and black pepper, and a LOTTA LOVE, too.
awwwwwwww.
we got the patented perfect pickled mixed vegetables,
this batch a big bunch of carrot, radish, jalapeno, garlic, and onion,
in that sweet, salty, sour cider vinegar brine.
it's expert af,
and it's mandatory most days.
seriously,
rules is rules,
and exxxtras are actually requirements in this household.
-
y'see that AVO-F*ING-CADO?
that bad boy was here for the big show.
he's always invited. and he always gets this party turnt.
-
we got cilantro sprigs, lime wedges, baby sweetie tomatoes,
and scallion sprankles, too.
that's how you put the lusciousness to a simple salad,
and make it a turbo-elite taco bowl from the future...
believe it.
***********
there's no reason to dwell on february.
we're moving on.
we're headed forward,
into the waiting arms of marginally warmer weather,
measurably brighter days,
and much deeper connections with the wild, weird, waiting, waking world
or worthy warrior poetry.
i'm being for real.
it's ALL really happening,
and we're part of it.
march into it,
and make it magical;
never quiet, never soft.....
