Here are some photos from the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. All in all, it was a pretty fun day -- lots of good laughs, friendly crowds, and interesting signs. Afterward, Chris and I made tacos which were OK but I think we can make them better. Have you ever made tacos? We tried to make steak tacos and the meat was pretty dry ... I think we will have more success with chicken.
Recently I've tried recipes that are pretty common but that I've been too afraid to try: tacos, chili, and kimchi chiggae. All dishes were a success! Which leads me to believe that trying new things is the spice of life and that I should spice up my life more often. I tend to have a lot of fear and anxiety around doing things for the first time -- but as we learned at the rally, fear just leads to a giant puppet of Stephen Colbert melting on stage, while sanity gets to sing with Cat Stevens ...
... I guess you had to be there :)

(I look pissed bc I had just gotten a mosquito bite on my hand. Those bastards!) |
you guys are too cute. try marinating the meat overnight. it's easier to make dry chicken than it is to make dry steak. :)
ReplyDeletedude. do u know my heart just broke a little?
ReplyDeletehere's a trick: marinate meats in hoison sauce overnight. instant tastiness!!!
Or marinate in beer. But only for an hour or so. Very tender meet.
ReplyDeletePS - so sad to have missed the rally. Some of the signs I saw online were HYSTERICAL!
