Whats the Last Thing You Ate
I went to my parent's house for my work break and made a homemade torta. Almost exactly a week ago (to the hour, even) I was enjoying a torta in 70 degree sunny weather in the outskirts of LA. This week I am dealing with below freezing temps and icy snow. Either way, the torta I made today made up for it all.
That looks really good.
I had toast. Really good toast. Dave's Killer Good Seed toast. I love that bread. It is almost a meal in itself.
I might have to go get a torta in a little bit...

Hehe wrong thread, Pep.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Though, I want what Pepper's kid is having.

goddammit.
and I was just relieved because I thought my post didn't post when I went to delete it just now.
Mine totally makes no sense now.

I can give you a talking to too, if you really like.
With bananas?

I just had a banana and yoghurt.
bananas for everyone
I never know what to expect when someone says torta. Isn't also like a cake and a sandwich? That looks good though.
Also, just mentioning for no reason at all... my parents explained condoms to me when they found out that my sister and I had been using them to make balloons.
Oh and the last thing I ate was a fancy steak from a fancy place. It was pretty much life changing.
When I say torta I mean Mexican sammich. It was delicious. It was made of carnitas (pork), beans, tomatoes, letuce, sour cream, avacados I brought back from Cali, and splashed some home made salsa on it for a lil kick. I am now craving another one.
You need to take more pictures of your food so you can share your meals with us.
I'm super full but I could probably eat like three of those right now.
I know I should take more pictures. I get good stuff sometimes!
And no comment on my condom balloons? Fine. Whatever. I'll never open up to you again.
I can honeslty say I have never made balloons out of condoms, but I have used a bunch of dental damns to wrap up a taco when I ran out of saran wrap.
Speaking of condoms, mum asked me yesterday where she could find green ones because she apparently needs one for her surgery. The whole conversation was pretty awkward.
Does the US have rules about taking fruit and veges between states, or is it pretty realxed?
In Aussie they are super anal about it.
I thought they were going to stop me or put a stop on my luggage, but they let it through. I brought back some avocados and some weird green bumpy fruit... started with "cha" in Spanish. I couldn't tell you what it was called in English. Anyway, I got them and the avocados from an uncle who grows them in his back yard and sent them for my father.
Cherimoya?
That is so much worse than balloons.
Why did they have to be GREEN??
Frank, make me a torta.
You can take anything you want out of California*, you just can't bring anything in.
*Unless you're flying from there to Hawaii. Hawaii's a dick about importing non-native pests that could wipe out America's pineapple supply.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Why did they have to be GREEN??
To contrast with the natural colour of the area, I suppose.
If someone, anyone, had explained condoms to me before I was about to graduate high school, perhaps I wouldn't have had a great kid I now need to explain them to.
Once, when I was twenty, my mom and I were driving down the coast from Oregon to California in the middle of the night and out of nowhere, at about two in the morning, when we hadn't seen another car going either way for hours, this uniformed persons in the middle of the road stops us and asks if we have any fruits or vegetables to declare... ummmmm No?
About two hours after that we realised we had crossed the border. Weird night. Weird road trip. I want to write a much longer story about it now.
Do it! Do it! Do it!
Yes. Alright.
Can I post it somewhere her when I finish it? Might help me.
Or did you mean explain the condoms already?
The road trip. But if you want to explain the other thing to me, I guess that's okay too.
Some birds and bees, you see, they were good friends with this stork, and ah...
Enough about sex.
Just got home from eating a brownie a la mode, nachos at the movies, and I made some chicken with mushrooms in a white wine sauce for dinner earlier.
I'm soaking chicken in a bunch of shit for the grill later and how could you live down here and not know what a torta is?
Well depending on what latin background you come from torta can mean sandwich, cake, or even some sort of egg dish similar to an omelette I believe.
Yep. With my family it's just cake.
As long as it's shaped like a turtle?
Ummmmm....?
Torta=turtle??
Tortuga=turtle
torta = sandwich, with my mexican family. only mexican by marriage though.
also, I had hungover waffle house today and it was goddamn GLORIOUS.
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
It's called a torta because it's shaped like a turtle! I know this.
I believe you, I'm white.
Tortuga=turtle. Even I know this and I am the Caucasianiest Caucasian in Caucasia.
This is why we can't have nice things.
But don't you have a pet turtle? Or did?
It looks like torta is a variation on the word 'tortilla'. It's whatev's. I'm sticking with the turtle theory.
Tortoise. Have.
This is why we can't have nice things.
That seems like a fun pet to have around.
She's a treat.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I had some fries and a hot atomics brat from some cool lil ale house and ironically enough had a two tortugas( a seasonal beer by karl strauss/ quad belgian something or other)
I had toast with cream cheese and jalepeno jelly again and a piece of carne asada. Don't worry I'm going to the gym to burn it off.
