Fresh, Hot Wastes of Time

Tonight we went to eat at Taqueria Arandas. I had the carne asada plate, which is a thin slice of marinated skirt steak, grilled and served over avocados and tomatoes, with fried cactus (nopalitos) and sauteed green onion on top, all with a liberal side helping of Spanish rice and refried beans. I drank a huge glass of horchata, rice milk that’s been sweetened and flavored with vanilla. For dessert I had a Pulparindo, which is dried tamarind pulp (like fruit leather), that’s been flavored with sugar, salt, and peppers, so it’s like a sour, salty, sweet, spicy fruit rollup.

Then on the way home we almost ran over an armadillo that was trying to get across the street.

Why do I even bother to shop anywhere else but Steinmart? I placed a huge order with an online store and got it in the other day; all but three items were grossly undersized. Like the bust was 8 inches smaller than it should have been. Steinmart always has really nice clothes for really low prices. I’m stocking up for my April and May trips.

I’m thinking about smuggling booze onboard the cruise ship. In a mouthwash bottle. Heh. I’m so 16 years old.
