Aguas en el Desierto

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…

Elotes El Chavo

elec1

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!

Poor Food

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.

In Between

lhmay09_first

Believe it or not, I do have some new ideas for future posts. I actually have a list of topics, themes, places, people, and various pendejadas that I’d like to cover. It’s right here over to the left side of my keyboard, on some ugly ass scratch pad someone gave me from some stupid credit card company called “working assets”. I like to cut off the trailing “ets” for a quick giggle. Ha. Damn cheap thrills. Which oddly brings me back on point: because of being a working ass I don’t get to spend much time on playing around with this list of topics. For the moment, I’m in between unemployment checks, which I guess is good as far as practical things are concerned. But mostly shitty as far as more interesting things are concerned. Most of my memorable experiences have happened during times of little or no waged work, where getting by is the main task at hand and the only clock you watch is the monthly calendar and the approaching rent-due day.  Feast and Famine.

I know that eventually those days of much time but no pay will return. Oh yes, I know all about that never ending cycle. So for the moment, instead of being even more half-assed than usual, I’ll let the list items rest until a better day and instead present you with yet another perfectly ordinary, it’s-been-done-before walk around LH! Sounds intriguing?

First up, the new motto for LH: “Fairy Tale World”. Yup, you know it!

Huevos Rancheros: El Tarasco

hr_tarasco1

If there’s HR’s in Lincoln Heights, I want to try them. I think I’ve tried them everywhere I know they’re available, except for La Naranja cuz that place scares me. (I went in and ranked out, ordering the chilaquiles instead since I didn’t trust the safety of their eggs. Wouldn’t you know it, they topped the chilaquiles with huevos estrellados! yikes.) I’ve been meaning to check out this place across from Tacos Michoacan at Ave 19 and N. Broadway, and I finally got the chance. A ver que tal..

To The Nub

Sometimes recycling means using things until the very, very end. Buying “green” is a luxury. Using resources until they are completely unusable, that’s way more environmentally friendly.
