So Nice, Made Twice
When I went to the supermarket on Friday to replenish my supply
of mineral water for the weekend, I discovered that there was
a one-day sale on avocados and lemons. Yippee!!! I gathered a
spectrum of (un)ripe haas and a mesh sack of eurekas.

Early this morning, before sunrise, I had a hankering. For what?
Guacamole! Well, what did I do? I
listened to the birdie within me, took a step back, and
then conjured this recipe.
New Yum, New Yum: So Nice, Made Twice
- NY-1:
Flounder fillet, plantain (diced), olive oil/filtered water
(simmer saute)
- NY-2: Chicken Thigh fillet, plantain (diced), fried
- Guacamole: avocado, sour cream, lemon juice

The Amazing Frying Corn
Chips! (Lotsa Mole)
|
- Corn Tortillas (pie-cut slices): fried, sprinkled with a pestled
sea salt/mole mixture
[NOTE: NY-1 did not include the chips, or jalapenos.]
The idea to use plantain in this recipe came from a take-out meal
from Thursday night. The plantain was voluminous enough to
sate my early morning need for fulfillment. The chips (and the chicken)
made for a dense breakfast; however, the density tampered the intensity
of the guacamole.

A fine dine, a sustenant start, and a reminder to return to a
fantastical land.

Attic Rummage Addressing Wounds
During the past ten days, I have been coming to terms with the
details of my writer's block--culling the notion, the actuality
of a
chronic contagion, the management thereof, diplomatizing my
immunity system.
Because of this life-threatening
bacteria, I was put into hospital as an emergency patient.
Pus oozed from the abscesses on my leg (right shin), which had
swelled far beyond what my jealous ego would allow.
Such a revelation for me, not so for the physicians who prescribed
the antibiotics and scheduled the surgery to remove pus-balls
lodged near my tibia as I had witnessed during my morpheme localized-language
anesthesia-articulated haze.
Agglutinative cogent cursed (con)fusion, a skeletal motor-cycle--this
is my hell on meals. Let me rev up my chompers. "VROOM,"
I ached, burrowing my fears, while visualizing this recipe.
