Yay, we made it! Despite it all! Wot a crazy year that 2022 was, que no?
Did I travel? No! Did I get Covid? Yes! Was it a year full of anxiety and stress? Claro! Were there moments of joy and peacefulness? Possibly! Was shit still falling apart all around? You know it!
Bah, whatever, I’m not going to think about the year that was cuz I’m just looking into the bright future, nothing can stop us now!

Just a friendly reminder to keep checking those beans for impurities, bad beans, and most importantly, hard ass rocks that will chip your teeth! Look at the size of these bad boys that were lurking in a bag of Peruano beans, they certainly mean business. I either bought them at Smart & Final or Superior, I don’t remember. I sure hope I found them all.
Speaking of which, S&F had once again run out of shopping carts but they have once again stocked a few new ones for the time being. Give it a month or two and you’ll have to lug all your stuff around like a burro. What is it about Brown bodies that makes companies think we are okay with extra labor?
I ended up here by chance as this was not on my travel plans for the day. 2 years into this pandemic and I’ve only gone to a few places to eat. But after a long drive to Calabasas and an even longer drive expected for the return home, we were already hungry. We decided to throw the dice and eat at a place with a patio. Likely to be surrounded by a fair number of people that don’t seem concerned about about getting covid (I am) so it wasn’t an easy decision. Fuck it, hambre wins, let’s give it a go! On to some weird looking Mexi themed restaurant!

If you’ve been to our local LH S&F in the past few weeks you may have noticed they only had about 10 carts or so available for shoppers. No big deal if you are just picking up an item or two, but quite the hassle if you are stocking up on a bunch of stuff or just some heavy items. People were hanging out in the parking area hoping to catch someone that was about to finish with their cart. “Ya acabo con su carrito?” Well it looks like those days are on pause for now as they finally have a fresh batch of shopping carts for your carrying pleasure. Why we had to put up with this scarcity is beyond me, but it’s happened before. I guess since we are still not a neighborhood of let-me-speak-to-your-manager Karens (at least not yet!) they must find it easy to let the working poor suffer a bit. That’s messed up. Someone ought to speak to the manager…
Enjoy your hands free shopping experience while it lasts!
It has been quite some time since my last HR review. And trust me when I say this one is even older. I have a pile of “to-do” reviews so I figured I might as well brush one off. Aside from the fact that I’m not currently eating indoors other than my own place, I had also slowed down these reviews after one too many bad egg encounters. Let’s just say that playing HR roulette with your stomach gets old. But after 2 or 3 years of forgetting what that is like, I’m ready to dip into that dangerous terrain! Feel free to send me your suggestions in the comments, hopefully from a place with good hygiene standards. My enemigxs can ignore this post.
This dish was consumed back on 1/4/2020, right after I had gotten over a terrible flu (hmmm?) that left me coughing for weeks after, and I didn’t take any notes. You’ve been warned.

Looks like this is gonna be another shitty year: cops killing kids, Covid taking a victory lap, housing crisis getting worse. 2022: I already hate it. I did get a good laugh that lifted my spirits when I saw this ugly gentrifier fence getting a well deserved make over. Maybe there is some hope for this year after all!
Hope this post finds you well! 😉
