Huevos Rancheros: Tacos Don Chente

It has been a few months without an HR review on this here site, mostly because the ones I’ve sampled lately haven’t pushed me to say anything: mediocrity makes for poor inspiration. The ones from Tacos Don Chente in MonteFeo are good enough to mention!

Cooking with EL CHAVO! – Vegetarian Tortilla Soup

A major problem with eating out in Los Angeles is that your options for a good soup are limited. Either you can’t find any on the menu, it’s full of animal bits, or it’s some gloopy “veg” soup with more cream than veggies. Get your shit together LA. Thus when I am in the mood for a nice satisfying and warming soup I head to my own kitchen. In this installment of my crappy cooking school I will show you how I throw together a decent tortilla soup, made to my liking.

Look at the Birdies!

Thanks to the fine work of the folks over at the Audubon Center at Debs Park, we learned that the Vaux Swifts were back in town, migrating South and roosting at an old chimney in Downtown. It is a sight unlike any other and something you should see as well. I took a few pictures but they pale to the actual experience. Click ahead for some pics and videos.

Still Have My Balls

Bored people are boring people. I don’t see how you could ever be bored with so much to see and hear basically right outside your doors. There is no better entertainment than stepping outside nomas para ver and let the world do its thing. Beats television every time.

I had lots of things to do today but I scheduled a viewing of my neighborhood. Lots of chuckles ensued!  Like this poster above about a lost dog that still has its balls. Click ahead to see more.

Spanish Perceptions on the LA Riots

I am going through my folder of old draft posts, which goes way back, and deciding to just post that shit, since it doesn’t really matter if I do or I don’t cuz nobody cares anyways. I was hoping to do a relevant post about the LA Riots earlier this year but I didn’t get around to it. I once wrote up my experiences and analysis of the events, as a participant, on to some stupid Mac floppy drive that got formatted by some other stupid newer Mac computer. Lost forever since I wasn’t about to spend all that time, AGAIN, to type it out. I know what I experienced, who cares if it’s documented?

When I saw this comic book available from the LA library I laughed at how ridiculous it was, some European trying to describe what happened here back in 1992, from all the way over in Spain. But then I realized that not being informed has never stopped anyone from a good story. Luckily, I don’t think anyone other than a few Spanish comic book nerds has seen this, which is for the best.
