Silence enters
Magic unfurling
Glittering pale
What matters surrounds them
What casts them out
They care not for the utterances of others
Their peace
Their solace
Within them
The magic surrounds them
Filling the with life’s light
Movement no longer a torment
They come together
Flesh to flesh
Slowly building passion
What more to want
What more to desire
Everything exists in what they have

I think I’ve finally found my favorite coffee.  I tend to float around and drink whatever coffee is at hand.  I’ve had really bad coffee and really good coffee, but there was never a coffee that stood out and said, ” Hey you, yeah you! You want to drink me!”.  That is until I had [...]

“Add me [...]

We cleaned out the deep fryer for the chimis we wanted to make and that led to all sorts of fatty goodness.  I love my deep fryer and now I feel bad for ignoring it.  I made beignet, those littel french doughnuts you get a Cafe du Monde in New Orleans, and smothered them in [...]

Flour tortillas from scratch are fairly easy to make and they rawk hardcore!  I made a batch, without consulting my Mexica friend, which proved to be less than optimal.  I cooked them on the griddle for too long and they came out a bit … hmmmm… shall we say crispy.  We’re going to try again [...]

So I tried making root beer Friday.  I’m still waiting for carbonation to finish in the bottles, then we’ll see if it’s any good.  I’m hoping it is, but it seems a little heavy on the sarsaparilla. If I make it again, I think I’ll filter it through some cheese cloth.  There seems to be [...]
