I had an awesome breakfast today! What you’re looking at is carne marinated pork sauteed with kale, leek, and mushroom, alongside some scrambled eggs with a bit of Tapatio hotsauce, over La Mexicana soft corn tortillas. I’ve been told repeatedly “La Mexicana” is the best in the bay area. Damn good tortillas, I just threw […]

Getaway

Spring Break for the kids at school and the adults that work there too. I’m in a sacred place far from the likes of partying spring breakers and girls ‘gone wild’ a spot in the ‘Emerald Triangle’ of California full of aging hippies, bikers, weed farmers, military types, and BnB’s. Of course I left the […]

Another journey begins

Today I got my 2nd tattoo, I wanted a simple black band, no adornment, nothing tribal, or from another culture… I wanted something simple and plain. Turns out simple isn’t easy, or cheap… When it was finished, I loved it immediately, and as I was going home I thought about what more I could do […]

July 19, 2009 by 12 Comments
So, earlier in the week I saw these posts in my google reader. Of course, I had to give it a try. If for no other reason than to gross out Steve & Leigh. I’m not going to post photos of the baking process, the ‘wet’ ingredients look kinda nasty when you’re putting this together. […]
