Welcome back, Blogger!

Sometimes people say that law school is hard. And takes up a lot of your time. They’re right. Dear devoted readers and fans, I’m back. I know, I know; what I did was wrong. I should never have abandoned you in such a manner, ditching you for intimate nights alone with my copy of the [...]

Step by step, bit by bit, stone by stone, brick by brick.. your way to salsa!

So, my second post ever was about my favorite salsa. It’s ridiculously simple, and today I’m going to prove it. I made another batch with pictures of each of the steps. So. Ridiculously. Simple. First, you’re gonna need about this much cilantro, the bit on the left. You can add more if you really like [...]

In the land of tacos, I make tacos.

It is an official ordinance, in case you didn’t know. Now you do. Now no one can say my blog never taught you anything. I started my Contracts assignment yesterday after promising to make chorizo breakfast tacos the next day, and then I was contractually and legally obligated to follow through, to make the chorizo [...]

Tacos in the morning, tacos in the evening, tacos at suppertime!

Texas is the mecca for tacos. OK, yeah, Mexico does a pretty decent job, but here in Texas, we’ve figured out a way to have tacos like Pizza Rolls: in the morning, in the evening, and at suppertime. Lunch, too. Stupid Pizza Roll jingle writers. Yes. Breakfast tacos. When, upon my first visit to Austin [...]

Avo Tom’o Salso

As promised, I ventured out to replicate my favorite little pale green dip from Las Ranas in LA. I stopped by Fiesta, of course, got some tomatillos, some more garlic, cilantro, citrus, onions, peppers, and avocados, for a grand total of something like $0.75. Maybe not, but mercy, that place is cheap. And fabulous.

You’re gonna be “green with envy” over this salsa verde.. ha! Ha ha! Ha..

But seriously. You wish you lived with me. If I were better about unpacking and cleaning, that is. But otherwise, you wish you lived with me. We had a general housewarming/hooray Austin party last night that also conveniently celebrated one of my roommate’s birthdays. She’s particularly fond of salsa verde, and I’m particularly fond of [...]

A word from our sponsors while you wait for the FEATURE FILM.

OK, so yeah, I was beaching it up for a while, and then I went and packed up all my junk, looked at my sad, empty apartment, and said goodbye for good. I cried a little bit this morning, pulling out of my undergrad college town.. Except not really, at all. I was not a [...]

All my beaches up in he-yuh.

Or, I’m here. At the beach. I demanded we rent a condo that had a full kitchen, and we brought half a trunk’s worth of groceries with us, so I could cook proper food. Not? Beach equals eating pasta salad out of a bag on the beach for lunch and going out for crab legs [...]

No pain, no gain.

Maybe this is how it started.. “it” being my massive, unadulterated, and unconditional love for something out of the ordinary for me.. a chain restaurant. But this not just any chain restaurant, no, it is the best chain restaurant of all. Cozymels. Now, I don’t expect you to agree with me, or really even know [...]
