payback

applied for a job yesterday. through volt--a contract agency that works with MS a lot. i just looked on craigslist. one job needs somebody familiar with payback periods. hmm...like james brown? 'cause i can do payback.

made some biscotti yesterday. not so impressed. for one, i had to use whole wheat pastry flour. it's great for most applications (oatmeal cookies, pancakes, etc) but occaisionally it isn't quite right. i think it wasn't quite right for biscotti. i also don't know of my mixer is up to it. i need to learn more about that.

walked around greenlake too. then took the little doggies to the dog park. ah yeah, the dog park. smells like shit. but there are loooots of nice cute little doggies to play with.

tacos were on the menu for dinner at gwen's (the previous residence). ok, listen up you gringos. this is how you make meat for tacos: in the crock pot. put your meat in with onions and spices and slow cook it. it'll shred nicely afterward. for beef, mix in some chili powder. for chicken use adobo seasoning (which has plenty of salt). let it cook and then pull it out and shred it with a pair of forks. it'll kick the crap out of any ground beef in the pan with ortega taco seasoning. same can be done for pork, use cumin as the seasoning. carnitas. ah yeah! i love carnitas!

hot tip from pleasure tipper medina:

hammer trick.
