i'm definitely going hard.
huh?
no, not hard shells-
...ew.
that ain't me, dawg.
no way.
but i am gonna go hard on all the soft flour flaps forever and ever.
that's just a personal thing.
it IS a thing, though-
and while i now have hard shells in my house,
i'm still not gonna be the dude who eats 'em.
no way.
me and my soft ones were definitely reppin' the day, though.
mmhmm.
a tremendous taco tuesday two-fer,
for me and my dude dylan to devour with all the fixin's and twice the variety.
guys,
check the double-trouble-type teleport:
THAT'S HOW YOU DO AUGUST TACO HOTTNESS!
my nootch-boosted veg-blasted ho'sauce activated refrieds are the TRUTH.
that's a F*ing fact, homeboy, and if you test it yourself, you'll see it and believe it.
all of these have a blarpity blop of those beans as the base-
-
about a pound of fat-free vegetarian refrieds-
with, 3 T minced red onion, and 1/4 cup mixed diced peppers (hot and sweet),
plus 2 T nutritional yeast, 2 T ho'sauce (shoutouts to texas pete, boi),
and a heavy shake of Garlic Powder AND Onion Powder and black pepper.
if you can't simmer those into the sloppiest paste on the planet,
then maybe get off the planet, b.
really.
-
there's all the green and red leafies, of course, and a smattering of pea shoots, too,
for exxxtra fiber and vitamins and chlorophyll an' that-
but, then they diverge in different directions, both of which are pure fiiiiiiiire!
***********
four of one, four of the other, two of each for the two of us,
and it all started with an orange tuber.
i mean it.
check the teleport:
SPICY SWEET POTATOES!!!
yeah!
that's one whole sweet potato, in 1/2" cubes, sizzled away in olive oil,
with pink salt, and black pepper, plus eyeballed shakes of GPOP, cumin,
coriander, cayenne, and oregano.
but, then it's also turned up with a handful of red onion,
and about 1 T coriander stems, finely minced.
really, y'just stir it once in a while, until it's all soft.
easy, but so tight, neighbors.
-
there's jalapeno ho'sauce on there.
nate gave me that, because he's a good dude, and he's right-
it IS a righteous accent sauce for tacos. he knows his sauce, for sure.
-
AVO-F*ING-CADO is very necessary, always.
i love that about the Folk Life & Liberty Fortress feast agenda.
avocados everywhere always.
good fats, broski. good fats.
-
and that salsa fresca?
guys,
it's got a cup of chopped baby sweet brown tomatoes,
and a handful of cilantro,
and a punch of green onions,
and half a lime's worth of juice,
and a spoonful of minced jalapeno,
and a lil salt and black pepper, stirred and marinated for twenty minutes prior to serving.
how expert was it?
what's the upper limit? just saking, because this stuff surpassed it, by a lot, for sure.
ha.
***********
and that fresh sweet corn hash blast?
c'mon, man,.
you know i don't play around with tacos-
check it:
WORD!
that's an ear of shaved-off -the-cob sweet corn,
and green onion, and red onion, and poblano, and jalapeno,
and sweet baby bell peppers,at about a handful of each-
with hot paprika, and smoked paprika, and fresh oregano...
and lime juice and GPOP, and a little olive oil,
and a lot of chili-garlic ho'sauce (shouts to cholula for coming correct in the clutch)
plus, a cup of cubed zucchini, all allowed to char a little on a very HOT pan-
make sure the zukes are in contact with the cooking surface,
or you'll get soft, sucky, slimy sh!tty squashed squash, and that's what losers do.
be a winner, and blacken it one one side, buddy.
it tastes better.
-
the avocado is there, cilantro leaves are there,
and the big upgrade?
well, besides MORE chili-garlic ho'sauce,
there's also lime-zested, lime-pjuiced vegan sour cream.
yup.
it's so smooth, and that citrus sexxxiness really takes it to eleven.
dudes,
it's just vegan sour cream (homemade cashew stuff, storebought whatever),
plus zest and juice, as in: literally what it's described as.
perfect.
*
two kinds of tacos, two totally awesome experiences,
too much is the right amount.
no sleep?
no problem.
no time?
nothing new there.
high-humidity and ugly skies?
for sure for sure.
fresh-baked bread?
got it.
fresh tomatoes for SAUCE?
man, it's wednesday.
that's for pasta, probably.
i'm mentally ready for today, even if i'm physically unprepared.
i cleaned the hell out of a closet, and later, i'll refill the F* out of it again, too.
room needs to be made in room after room,
and i'm ruminating on how best to attack each item on my to-do list.
that's all bookending all these tattoos on the schedule,
and that's lookin' full af for the new little minute.
i'm so excited to never have a minute to breathe,
and i'm even more excited to never have a minute to write....
it's been forever since i slacked in the pace of this largely underappreciated diary,
so,
i guess i'm looking forward to prioritizing new things.
we'll see how it goes soon enough;
never quiet, never soft.....
