Since I don't live in a "walking" city and compounding that with working at home (and seldom leaving it), a lot of the inspirational experiences I've embellished and written about here don't really happen anymore.  Oh well.

So when I don't have a "hookers at the front door" or a stolen man hole cover collection to rant about, I'm gonna post a recipe.  And I'm gonna try to make them not yr reposted type.

Here's one I just made up myself that I call:

Orange Surprise

Ingredients

1 small pumpkin; roasted, peeled and diced
1 small yellow onion; diced
chopped garlic
1 half chub Mexican chorizo
1 cup prepared Mexican rice

This dish was born of leftovers; the pumpkin being a leftover Jack-0-lantern, the small onion used to be a medium onion, but it was cut in half and half of it was used; the first half of the chub was used in an egg dish and finally, the rice was part of the usual big batch we make damn-near every week.

Directions

Fry up the chorizo.  Add the onion and cook for a few minutes, then add the garlic.  After another minute or so, add the pumpkin.  Let that heat up for a few minutes and then stir in the rice.  When that's heated up, dish it out.

I put several drops of habanero sauce and a lot of ground black pepper on mine.

Notes

It's called Orange Surprise not because it has oranges in it, but because the pumpkin, chorizo and Mexican rice are all orange and make it a nice orange color; and Surprise because it was surprisingly fuckin' awesome.
Also, I'm going to try roaste acorn squash next.  Then I'm going to try butternut squash.  I'll let ya know.

Deja vooooooo

11.3.2kXI

Years ago my Apple "dot Mac" email started getting images sent to it from what appeared to be various Apple Stores around the world.  I briefly investigated the phenomenon with Apple people and they didn't know what the Hell was up.  I based a VA quite some time ago on this very story.

Well, I got an image a week or so ago from a stranger.

Then I got another and figured it was starting again. 

Today I got a third and it's the best one yet and it seems to have come from FAR away.

Yes, I do believe it's starting again.  Bring 'em on!!

Did ya ever get a catalog for mail order junk like electronics, computer parts, comics or pr0n that had a wee little picture next to the 800 number of some mildly nice-looking smiling guy or gal wearing a headset? When did that start? It's frikkin' everywhere now. I dunno about you, but I think the picture's from stock footage or copyright-free clip art.

Tonight - Club Deluxe

Yep.  It's Little Minsky's Burlesque night.  Show starts at 10pm and there's a $5 cover.  As always, Deluxe is cash-only.

Come on out and see Jason Porter meet his future ex-wife.  Again.

bye-ee!

Arterial Motives

Do ya think there's a finite amount of patience one can have for people not acknowledging that you've yielded for them in traffic?  I think I'm about there.

I don't mind letting someone merge, or out of a parking lot, alley, gas station or driveway.  I've been at the mercy of jerks not letting me merge or cross or whatever so many times, I think that my policy of letting everyone (except BMW or Audi drivers) do whatever they want, that it just might inspire someone to do the same.  It seems no, not so much.

So just this morning, in the same moment, I let two Priuses out of the same 7/11 parking lot.  The first Prius driver gave me a wave.  The second looked right at me and did not.  That's a push.  Then down the road, I let a lady finish her illegal left turn (across a double-yellow) in front of me.  She waved a thank you.  The jerk behind me honked.  At me.  She could see that I was letting the lady who, uh, was blocking us, finish her turn, but she honked.  That's minus two.

I'm driving again later.  I'll let ya know how it goes.
