You're unsure if I am a loose end or a strand
that waits for you to mend or understand
A few words
"When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness."
~ D.H. Lawrence

"Is the meaning of life defined by its duration? Or does life have a purpose so large that it doesn't have to be prolonged at any cost to preserve its meaning?"

"Living is not good, but living well. The wise man, therefore, lives as well as he should, not as long as he can... He will always think of life in terms of quality not quantity... Dying early or late is of no relevance, dying well or ill is... even if it is true that while there is life there is hope, life is not to be bought at any cost."
~ Seneca

"People will tell you nothing matters, the whole world's about to end soon anyway. Those people are looking at life the wrong way. I mean, things don't need to last forever to be perfect."
~ Daydream Nation

"All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories-- if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death."
~ The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes

"The road now stretched across open country, and it occurred to me - not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but merely as a novel experience - that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic. So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the feeling, and the feeling was good. It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this enhanced by the thought that nothing could be nearer to the elimination of basic physical laws than deliberately driving on the wrong site of the road."
~ Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

"It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend."
~ William Blake

Tacos and a dead baby bird
Tuesday, May 7, 2013
I don't feel like talking much but I wanted to post.

Here is a picture from when I was on cam in a chatroom. Sort of.

You can see the bear's face in the upper left corner of the cam frames.

I made tacos awhile ago and documented the process.

Usually I only use half a package of soy chorizo, but I made a double portion of filling this time so I used the whole package.


I usually brown it in a frying pan so that it's a little drier and add a little extra spice.


A sprinkling of cumin and chili powder to taste. The chorizo is already seasoned but I prefer more seasoning.

The browned soy chorizo gets added to refried black beans... One can per half package generally.


I used two here. I don't think it's possible to make refried beans look appetizing in a picture. You could also mix a whole package of the soy chorizo with one can of refried beans, it just ends up more crumbly. The beans just act as a glue to hold the soy chorizo together.

Here is the finished filling, which, while tasty, does not look very good in pictures.


While the beans are heating up and the soy chorizo is browning it's usually a good idea to heat the taco shells so that they're crispy.


It's also good to chop up the lettuce.

I prefer hearts of romaine because they're crisper, but the greens could really be anything depending on your taste.

And also grate your cheese. My favorite is Tillamook medium cheddar.


How fine you grate it depends on your personal preferences. Personally I think that the medium grate like this make the cheese fall off the taco more easily, so I prefer grating it finer, but my mom likes the medium more.

Assembled product. Sorry it's a bit dark.

My parents prefer to put the cheese on top of the filling, under the lettuce, so that it melts, but I like doing it this way because I like the lettuce/cheese taste more than the melted cheese/filling taste.

It's really really easy to make these tacos. I don't think it ever takes more than 20 minutes if you're doing it alone. Usually I ask my mom to help cut the lettuce or grate the cheese so it gets done much faster. I don't know the exact nutritional facts but all things considered, it's not too unhealthy. There's probably a lot of sodium from the soy chorizo and cheese, but it really just depends on how you fill your taco.

I went precinct walking on Saturday with my boyfriend and there was a dead baby bird on one of the doormats.


Later that day we went to the cafe we visited with Lucy before and got some dessert. I got a chocolate pot de cr�me.


He got a cappuccino and an affogato.


Here is the inside of my pot de cr�me.

It was very, very good.

I LOVE soy chorizo! I need to buy some now...

I like the person holding up their cat in the video chat.

If you're ever in Oregon, you should go to the Tillamook cheese factory. FREE SAMPLES.

that recipe for those tacos looked good. it also had me laughing (in a good way) because one thing i really want to do is make up a cookbook with recipes that are vague and comical, like when you apologized for the picture being dark, and said it didn't look good.

i have some soy chorizo in the fridge, and am going to try to make your tacos with it.

Third time's the charm! It's taken me a few tries to get a comment on here. . . for some reason the last couple times it wouldn't let me scroll down your page. It just kept loading and loading and nothing.

Anywho, your tacos look delicious! I'm not sure if I've ever had soy chorizo, but I like the regular stuff so the soy version can't be too bad. I'll have to try out your recipe at some point.
