Tacos are the cat's ass. Cram a bunch of stuff into a tortilla, Indian wrestle it down your throat, and call it a day. I had some chicken breasts laying around and decided that whipping up some mega-Mexican fare was in order. Now, I have cooked the chicken different ways in the past: broiled, then shredded, pan fried then shredded, diced raw and simmered with some ersatz Sauce out of a Can...you name it. The results were shitty to a little better than mediocre. What I did tonight was pretty good.
I simply put the breasts into a pot and boiled them with some black pepper, garlic powder and salt, for maybe 2 minutes. Then simmer for 10 minutes, then off the fire and let 'em cool for about 10-20 minutes right in the pot. Remove and shred the chicken, then put it into a skillet with a little oil and lots of cumin. I like cumin.
What you end up with is some pretty moist chicken, with lots of that great cumin taste and aroma. Some beans, sliced avocados and tomatoes, cheese, your favorite hot stuff and someone to do the dishes.
I did 4 breasts, and have plenty for tomorrow and probably the next day. Good stuff.

Read me first...or else!
Welcome!
After lots of consideration, I decided to try this blogging deal for myself.
I won't pretend to know what I am doing, or what might appear here, but off we go. Any suggestions are welcome, comments are, of course, welcome, and spirited conversation is extremely welcome. Jump in!
Some rules to live by:
1. Pretty much anything goes here. Agree, disagree...I don't really care. But, please try to stay on topic.
2. I have had problems at other sites with "moderation". I won't "moderate", or censor comments unless you really cross the line. If you need to have "crossing the line" explained to you, then expect to be moderated.
3. This is my blog. If you don't like my blog, go out and make one of your own.
4. You don't have the right to not be offended. Read that again for comprehension.
5. Spam will not be tolerated. Not for one second.
I would imagine that not many people will come here (hope that will change in the future), but at first I will probably know most of you. Just a heads up for ya: if you say something stupid, you will be called out on it. You will be called on wild-ass assertion. If I make a mistake, I will accept being called on it, but be prepared to back it up. Those who know me understand what I'm saying here. Those who don't understand will learn quickly enough. I have no problem mocking you mercilessly, and will do so at the drop of a hat. You have been warned.
Please enjoy your stay here, and come back often!
