Drums

[tanarill]

Yesterday, I was going to go the Ventura fair, but JJ instead wanted to go to drum circle. In all fairness, he's been trying to go to a drum circle for months, so he had the better claim. We went and drummed for ~90 mins. It left me with a definite need for drum, so . . .

I've been listening to Pata-pata-pata-pon! Didi didi didi dididi! Fayaya fiya fiyaya fayaya fiya fiyaya! FEVAAAAAH! That's a game I would totally play if it were not exclusively on the PSP.

Tonight for dinner I made fish tacos. Only I didn't make the slaw, I just chopped up some onion and lettuce and tomato and olives for people to add to their tacos as they wish. And I made "shack sauce," which is really just two spoonfuls of mayo and enough lemon juice to make is zingy and creamy and some cilantro and some chili powder for heat and paprika for color. It was good, all the people ate it and went nommy. Although in the future I'll cook it in the oven, the grill was a pain for not much extra benefit. It was pretty easy, though. So I have learned a new recipe. Maybe soon I will have enough experience to level up XD

The fish tacos look interesting, thanks for the link.

Ooo, PataPon! I played the studio's previous game where you collect different types of blobs and move the world to jiggle the big blob along. I love their art style. I wish I could remember the name now. :P

Fish tacos are kind of a thing in this part of SoCal. They're supposed to be healthier for you than tacos with beef, and probably are except for when the restaurants bread and deep-fry them before making them into tacos. Kind of defeats the purpose there, methinks.

LocoRoco was that same guys? :o

And now I know.

That recipe sounds fun to make.

Well, I wouldn't so much say fun as ridiculously easy. Prep time is the problem with most cooking, but with this one you can get most of everything else made while the fish marinates and, if I bake as I will next time, cooks. So it's ~30-45 mins start to finish. Of course, I use store-bought tacos and tortilla wraps, so I don't know how it would work if you had to make those as well. (I couldn't make them the traditional way anyway, because lard =/= Kosher.)

It feels silly to ask this as a Mexican, but what is a tortilla wrap?

[tanarill.livejournal.com]

Er, I don't know what it is called in Spanish. It's a kind of soft flatbread, that is called lavash in my household. What you do is put stuff inside, then wrap it up to make a sort of burrito-shaped thing. I think any kind of flatbread would work, though.

Ohhhh, okay. Thank you! I looked up 'lavash' on Wikipedia and saw the picture there. I'm not sure if I've seen it in person before but now I know what it is.
