i got coconut oil hot, and i added in
half a cup of lentils,
half a cup of veggie crumblies,
a quarter of a cup of minced onion,
a whole bunch of jalapeno, poblano, and bell peppers,
a dash of cilantro,
oregano, smoked paprika, GPOP, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and pink salt!
i had to give that a splash of water to keep it from burning,
but it was just a hot pan of hot fire and all of thatstuff just sizzlin' away.
mmm. mmm. mmmmm.

SALSA VERDE!!

in a 2 quart saucepot, simmer up:
5 chopped tomatillos;
1 diced jalapeno;
1/2 chopped green bell pepper,
1/2 chopped poblano pepper;
2 cloves garlic;
2 T cilantro stems;
1/2 chopped sweet onion;
a little salt, a little black pepper,
a dash of GPOP, and ground coriander...
all the greens get real drab and olivey, kinda,
and that's when you add in a heavy squeeze of lime juice,
and transfer that whole sloppy slippery mass into a high-powered blender,
and pulse it all up into a slightly chunky sauuuuuuuuuuce.
mmhmm.
neighbors,
you're still gonna have to cook it more,
but now you add in a little cayenne, maybe a drop of liquid smoke,
a couple of tablespoons of water,
a punch of scallion and fresh cilantro,
and some salt and pepper.......
DUDES!!
that's the FLAAAAAAVOR!!
as in: expert, to eleven-
if you don't love tacos, you're SO lame.
heck, i also had chipotle yesterday.
a burrito AND three hard tacos.
yeah.
hard ones, just because i wanted to share some gluten-freedom,
y'know?
like, for breezy solidarity.
yup.
we did a nice dinnery thing with the kids,
and it was beautiful and rowdy and wild as hell.
that's SO many kids to eat rice and lettuce with.
messes were made, but big fun was the order of the day.
i'm grateful for those people.
i'm lucky to have an adult human partner who really sees me.
i love that the most;
never quiet, never soft.....
