FOOD PICTURES!

i made refried bean, tofu, and avocado tacos last week.
i'm not really sure what there is to say about them,
other than i ate the holy hell outta them all,
and the turned on the gluttony and terrorized all the leftovers in the pot, too.

yeah!!
too much is the right amount.
that's a fact.
-
a cup of baby tomatoes, chopped, plus a few tablespoons of cilantro,
and a little scoop or minced red onion, a teaspoon of finely minced jalapeno,
salt, pepper, GPOP, and lime juice had me feelin' some kind of salsa.
-
the tofu had smoked paprika and cayenne just sorta shook on top,
fried in coconut oil on four of six sides, and some oregano and cumin
stirred in towards the end.
s'simple, but dope af.
-
avocado is always invited, so i featured it prominently front and center.
-
but, with minced chili, white onion, lettucey stuff all on there, i was ready to get fat.
but i wasn't ready for how expert i was about to be with that ESCABECHE, boi!!!
real talk.
it was one of the best ones yet.

ESCABECHE!!
-
in a one quart saucepot, combine:
one purple carrot, sliced;
2 cloves garlic, sliced;
one fat radish, sliced;
1/4 cup red onion, chopped;
1/2 jalapeno, sliced;
1 cup apple cider vinegar;
1/4 tsp sea salt;
1/4 tsp black peppercorns;
1 tsp sugar.
boiled until the peppers went from bright green to olive green,
and the reds in the carrot and onion turned the juice pink.
YES.
that's it, but that's ITTTTTTT.
you need it.
i ate it all, and i enjoyed every tangy, tart, spicy, sweet second.
that's no joke.
-
if you like tacos, you know that soft flour tacos are the ONLY good ones.
the rest are just wasting your time.
hmm?
oh, i get it-
maybe you've gotta be gluten-free, and i feel you, and i feel for you,
and i will munch up a soft corn jaun in solidarity if i like you,
but for me?
i'm choosing soft flour 100% of the time.
they're my favorite.

ANYway,
i'm not even close to finished with my hallowe'en costume.
i'm always lost and bewildered at work.
i'm watching my house fall apart and not sure where to start fixing it,
or if i'd be better of just walking off into the mountains forever.
no big deal.
maybe you'll notice i'm gone?
doesn't matter.
i won't notice if you notice.
hahahaha.
i'm busy in all the ways i'd never expect,
and i'm slow in all the ways i'd never want to be.
there's a lesson in that somewhere,
but i'm legit too deep underwater inside my brain to see it.
neat;
never quiet, never soft.....
