Just Listen To Your Instincts

“Better late than never,” I’m here to say that “wise” old saying is bullshit. I think “never” very often beats out “late” for many things. For example, for whatever reason I finally felt compelled to read the instructions on my laundry detergent to determine how much I should put in each load. Before—in typical Me fashion—I would just slop in a very inexact and always varying amount. After reading the instructions on the bottle I still have no freaking idea because it says anywhere from one half to two caps of liquid detergent for a load, which was exactly how much I was dumping in before without measuring.

So yeah, “never” is definitely an option with regards to reading most instructions.

I Should Win Something

If they handed out Nobel Prizes for black bean soup they would’ve handed one to me today. They don’t hand out Nobel Prizes for black bean soup, right? If so can someone call them because I can’t find my phone? At first I thought I ruined it because I had a can of chipotle peppers so I put in half, but I thought, what the fuck will I do with half a can of chipotle peppers, and threw in the rest, then I tried it and thought it was too hot, but it wasn’t.

Daily Dose of Blubbering

Perhaps the world would be a better place if we all allowed ourselves a few moments each day in which we experience something of such overwhelming beauty that we’re practically thrown to the ground by such an unbelievable level of human achievement. This did it for me this morning.

I’ve listened to this piece a ton of times but never like this.

More About Eggs

If you ask 100 Spanish people to name their favorite dish, about 100 will say a tortilla de patatas. Mine, too. This one ain’t half bad, if I do say so myself, and you can’t beat a good tortilla recién hecha (right out of the pan).

P.S. The obvious question that will pop into your heads on seeing this is, “Amigo, don’t you have anything better to do?” The short answer is “no” and the longer version would touch on the fact that today is yet another holiday here.

I suppose that I am pretty cocky when it comes to my tomato sauce because it’s the world’s best and I’m not afraid to settle that argument with a fistfight. I’m not Italian, but is there any other way to end a discussion about tomato sauce?
