This time it was the use of cabbage instead of lettuce. Way more crunch factor and more flavor too. I think I'm going to get cabbage on all my burritos from here forth.
Guacamole is very important too. The more crap they add to it the worse it gets. I think the best guac consists of avocados, lime juice, salt and pepper.
The horchata here is amazing too. I think I'm going to start making that stuff at home. Me likey horchata.
As I drove through the hills, I felt like I was in a horror movie; or, a sci-fi movie rather. The anticipation of my enevitable abduction added an extra thrill to the sinuous mountain road.
That, and the jerk-off in the red pickup truck tailgating me.
Illusions are facinating.
Aside: the psych test called the Rorschach, you know the one with the inkblots... In order to protect the integrity the images are not only copyrighted but strictly enforced.
The ones you see in the movies and TV are false. Otherwise someone could Tivo LA Law and prefabricate their responses before their exam.
We are all guilty of buying this crap and we wonder how we'll ever recover from our trade deficit with China. Like a proud parent, there must be someone who smiles when they see this stuff, knowing how much it has lined their pockets.
Here is a prime example of tourist crap. Enjoy.
I've seen them out there plugging away in the most brutal weather and yet have only had my bag lost (well, delayed) once in at least two hundred flights. That's a pretty good record as far as I am concerned.
Let's all give them a round of applause.
Or, why don't you go put on a reflector vest and go help?
There are rocks, grumpy locals and presumably sharks. A dropping tide can create a 6-8 knot current that can pull you out to sea.
The wave isn't particularly good either. There is a big stupid rock right in the take off zone on the best sets. You either have to take off behind it and risk not making it around. And if you do make it, you come around only to find that someone else didn't think you would and dropped in on you anyway.
Or you take off behind it and risk being that guy.
Nevertheless it is the closest spot to my house, I could walk there, and so that's where I check first.
Here is a mediocre wave at a mediocre spot on another gloomy day in San Francisco. The surfer's name is Chi. Enjoy.
It is in front of Lucasfilm's studio in the Pesidio of San Francisco so it isn't as if some Star Wars crazed fan dropped $15,000 on it to park between their pink flamingos.
It is; however, about an 13 on a cool factor of 1-10 and there is a tiny voice inside of me trying to get me to leave burnt offerings of some sort.
"Those aren't the droids you're looking for..."
May the force be with you.
What makes it so expensive I began to myself. How much faster could it be than our $40 blender, which is a nice one if I don't mind saying so. Currently I could make a batch of pina colada in about 30 seconds. Surely cutting that down to even 5 seconds wouldn't warrant such a price tag.
Would it last forever? Out shine the life of 30 more mild-mannered blenders of the domestic variety? Can it blend incredibly hard objects? But then, please explain, whey you would want to eat these incredibly hard objects.
I'm at a loss, maybe I'll write a letter to ask them. Then again, maybe some things are better left a mystery...
Most people would be quick to blame a careless smoker flicking their butt out the window. The patch of scorched earth was tightly localized and directly adjacent to the highway.
I'd like to think it was probably a common house cat. Everyone knows how mischievous they are; always up to no good.
I've been brewing at home for more than 13 years and learned something amazing not too long ago. I've been quite aware of the "German Beer Purity Law" called Reinheitsgebot for many years but it was only recently when someone pointed out the obvious.
My memory was that it only allowed for water, hops, barley and yeast. But put forward in 1487, it actually predates the discovery of yeast! (Note: Germany wasn't a nation-state either)
Yeast may have been first observed in 1680 by Leeuwenhoek (almost 200 years post Reinheitsgabot) but it wasn't until Pasteur in 1857 that it began to be understood (even later, after almost 400 years!)
For hundreds or thousands of years there must have been such a magic to beer. No wonder people are so superstitious.
On NPR, they were discussing the topic and brought up some very interesting thoughts. It wasn't THAT long ago that love was even a deciding factor in who you marry so "allowing" same sex marriage is quite avant guarde. People used to marry for political and social gain.
This whole thing is going to get played out like a 5 day cricket match in federal court sooner or later but this is the historic begining. Notice the stack of news vans huddled outside waiting to pounce on their first sound bite from the first couple to exit, feeling both vindicated and giddie.
I'm so for gay marriage, I probably sound indifferent, but I'm actually quite excited about everything. Excited in a "finally" kind of way. Like when the Red Sox finally won a World Series.
I like the idea of recycling but to take it this literally is kind of creepy. We tend to think of our garbage can as an absolute final resting place but in reality it is only the beginning of a whole new journey. Good luck shoes, I hope your new owner is better then the last.
These phonebooks have been sitting here for months - note: two diffrent brands. Does anyone even use these anymore? I haven't touched one in likely 8 years. Although, I think you can still prove Christ's strength by tearing one in half if you're in Orange County...
