Huevos Rancheros: 3 por 1 LH Edition!

hr_leblanc1

(Wow! This post has been sitting in my draft folder since August of 2009! Let’s see if I can finish it.)

So yeah, I’m a bit behind on HR reviews. Usually, if the dish is exceptional in either a good or bad way, it gets a timely write up. But if it’s one for the mediocre/not-bad pile, I tend to get distracted and forget it ever happened. But since it seems the restaruant scene in Lincoln Heights is changing quite a bit as of late, I’d be remiss to not post these notes on some recent examples, for whatever it’s worth.  Still with me? Click ahead then!

First up, the sign that grabbed my attention. I was walking along on N. Broadway running my usual errands: paying bills, mailing mail, buying a fancy outfit for the weekend, checking out the specials at the lil’ Big Saver, when this sign just jumped into my path. Can you believe that Le Blanc has HR’s? Me neither, lets go find out!

Nothing is Special

Stop thinking you can get a deal. That you’ll be presented with a fabulous surprise in your favor. Everything is exactly as it is. The mundane remains. The daily grind is to be expected, yet again, tomorrow morning. It never ends.

There is no special.

Recognizing that fact is the first step.

Kinder Protest

Kinder as in garden. My friend Vlad posted this old-but-new-to-me video on facebook and I thought it was a pretty awesome response by youngsters to some anti-people demo by some stupid adults happening across the street. The youthful arts of negation, in its most basic glory.

Well done kids! A++!

Cooking with EL CHAVO! : Huevos Rancheros!

It seems a bit wrong that I should share my version of this dish with you all, considering that I’ve spent many weekend mornings critiquing/praising the variety of examples available in Los Angeles. It almost seems smug, as if I assume this the best way to make them. I don’t think I’m that pretentious. If you’ve read any of my previous cooking classes, I’ve always said that you need to alter things to your liking, to vary the ingredients so they reflect what your palette wants. Well, this is me telling you what I like, how I know Huevos Rancheros, how I prefer them. As you can plainly see, they are very basic. And that’s just how I like it!
