This homeless man used to be my neighbor, maybe around 5-7 years ago. Nowadays he carries his belongings in a shopping cart and passes the days doing weird crazy things, like shaking his head at full throttle in a circle as if he’s trying to cast off the pulgas or just wants it to pop off entirely. He doesn’t seem to recognize me, but I remember him.
Man, where does the time go? This past weekend I was hoping to do a few posts on this here ol’ chanfles blog, I even planned to share a recipe or two, but then all of a sudden the work week has begun and I’m trying to just catch up with lo que sige. I wish I had a giant pause button cuz that would be useful.
But whatever, la vida viene come viene. Ajuste.
So yeah, I was on a road trip thru the parts of the US that were once parts of Mexico, and it was fun. I was hoping to run into some regional variations on Huevos Rancheros but was mostly blocked in that pursuit due to the continuing presence of meat in the menu description, and as I’ve mentioned before, if I have to ask them to take out the meat, then I’m likely going to pass on the dish. I did end up finding some candidates though, aren’t you lucky?
Found on a bus bench. It’s like you know someone so well that you almost meld into one, and even your naps are done jointly. Or maybe it’s just a little nod.
I enjoy leaving town for a bit but I really love coming back to Lincoln Heights.
Pobre conejito. Minding it’s own business and some careless car comes by and ends its hoppy life. Maybe it wasn’t minding it’s surroundings…
I’m taking a much needed road trip thru the SW, but don’t worry, my usual pendejadas will be back sooner than you want. I’m mostly checking out some border communities for some new business routes, but let’s leave it at that. I’ve been hoping to do an HR review, cuz I know you’re all dying for one of those, but most of the options I’ve encountered have had meat as part of the mix, which I just choose to avoid. There’s still time. Today I randomly passed by this tiny hut selling elotes. Chicano U-turn, we are going in!
Since I occasionaly write about food here on Chanfles! I figured I’d mention this recent post I did over at LA Eastside, since some of you still haven’t added that group blog to your rss readers. Go check it out. Or don’t.
