Bedrock & Paradox

I dream of a hard and brutal mysticism in which the naked self merges with a non-human world and yet somehow survives still intact, individual, separate. Paradox and bedrock.

Giant Sea Bass!

To maintain my newfound title, I present my recipe from yesterday: Inyoface Vegetarian Chili

-chop and saute in olive oil 1 whole habenero and 2 mid-size white onions, add as much garlic as you like (lots)
-add big can of chopped tomatoes (in water), 1 can pinto beans, 1 can black beans (no draining)
-add lots of pre-cooked lentils 
-add 2 small cans diced green chilis 
-add lots of diced pickled jalapenos, like 2+ cups*
-add 1/2 pint of dark beer (Jubelale, a good porter, Newcastle, etc)
-bit of salt
Cook for a while, until everything seems happy.  Strain off and blend ~1/4 of the solids, mix back in, cook a little longer.  Eat with a few puffy flour tortillas.  Sweat.
*Pickled jalapenos are one of my favorite things in the world.  This earns it’s name.

    Noted for the future. This one doesn’t lend itself, I’m afraid.

    The Ivan the Terrible Stout looks good. Where do they get the oak barrels? Just for accuracy know that it ain’t bourbon if it ain’t from Kentucky.

    I cannot testify to the source of the barrels. Dave Nice educated me last year to our version of appelation.
