mexicano martes

so,
we still had delicious mexican food,
but we waited until tuesday.
no big deal, duders.
and,
we had company.
that's a big deal.
another 'nother worthy warrior poet,
all up in our area,
breaking bread and hanging out,
and getting the obligatory introductory tour of the labyrinthine lair i call
the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress.
uh-huh.
burritos were on the menu,
and amber and beau were already here,
and we added our friend travis to the mix.
and he wasn't just punctual as promised,
he also even brought some expert chunky homestyle guacamole with him.
participating and contributing,
his very first time out of the gates amongst us gluttonous gargoyles?
that's some real life responsible grown-up sh!t.
mmhmm.
guac',
and super-activated refried beans so compatibly complement
a blowout bombin' dirty diaperload of stuffs
stuffed inside a purportedly healthy luscious lavash wrap.
yes.
that's a thing.
now check the teleport:
yeah!
that's a homemade tomatillo-type peppery garlic stewed tomato sauce on top,
and it was cooked with so much garlic, and spices, and cilantro,
and the proper proportions of herbs an' what-have-you's as well.
what's in the burritos?
lentils,
with diced tomatoes,
and red onions, and garlic,
and green bell pepper, and garlic,
and poblano pepper, and garlic,
and jalapeno pepper, and garlic,
and fresh basil, and oregano, and mustard seed, and g.p.o.p. (obvi),
with liquid smokiness and punches of smoked paprika, and roasted cumin, too....
all of that,
sizzling in a splat of coconut oil, gettin' all fried up together,
and hanging out as our ultimate protein flavor explosion.
i steamed up some jasmine rice, too- for representing those fancy jauns.
and there was cilantro everywhere, in everything,
and refrieds in the wraps,
and spring-style mixed lettuces and pea shoots,
and scallions, too, just to sharpen it all up just a hair.
burritos that weigh a ton?
so good.
people that are worth a sh!t?
double good.
spanning time with all sorts of folks is not my thing-
spanning time and sharing sustenance with really real experts, tho?
that's all i ever want.
food with people.
seems simple enough.
but,
great vegan food, prepared with intention, and focus, and attention,
and presented with pride,
and enjoyed as much as the talks and laughs and stories we share in equal measure?
well,
i mean,
c'mon, neighbors.
there's no sense in settling for doo-doo butter when taking it to eleven
is something we all already know exists.
too much is the right amount,
and when the time is right,
and it all lines up the way we want?
that's all there needs to be;
never quiet, never soft.....
