I just made/ate Vietnamese tacos, and they are maybe my new favorite food.  Inspired by the Mandoline Grill truck when Elizabeth, Andrea, and I went to the derby a few weeks ago, and we had ourselves a food truck dinner.  They both got Banh Mi, but I didn’t want all that bread.  Although, I think the filling was the same stuff, so I suppose I could make those too.

Ingredients:

• Tofu marinated in lemongrass
• Green bell pepper
• Scallion
• Cilantro
• Pickled radishes and carrots
• Sriracha aioli
• More Sriacha
• Corn tortillas

1. First, do your pickling and marinade-making.  Cut up the tofu into little cubes and put it in the marinade.  Let them both soak for at least an hour, but longer is preferable.
2. Make the aioli, and put it in the refrigerator.
3. Chop up your pepper, scallion, and cilantro.  Actually the Mandoline Grill, and possibly the official way, is just cucumber slices and cilantro.  But I forgot that part when I was grocery shopping and that was what I had in the refrigerator.
4. Grill/fry the tofu until it’s crispy and brown on the outside.
5. Heat up your tortillas.
6. Assemble.  Add more Sriracha to your liking.
7. NOM

As if I need more distraction at this point in my life, I’m going to give tumblr another go.  I don’t really get it, though.  I’ve been on LiveJournal since 2002 so I have kind of a community there of people I “know,” but this whole tumbly bumbly is mystifying.  Open question: what do you do to make tumblr not suck?

I suppose it’s insomnia that’s brought me here.  The sad thing is I’m not even considering this insomnia yet; it’s only 12:41.  That’s early.  Andrea’s asleep, though, the TV is boring, it’s not reading time yet, the entire rest of the internet has been exhausted, and the idea of doing anything actually productive is simply laughable.  So, tumblr.

I’ll be honest, I’m writing here because I think my layout is pretty.

No, but I think there was something I was going to, like, say.

…

Nope, don’t remember what it was.  Here’s hoping it will be below 90º tomorrow. 

but, hey. my girlfriend found this contest by a company called Pink Cloud, which is giving away a $50,000 wedding to the gay couple with the most appealing youtube video.

As my ladylove and I are engaged and lacking in funding…this does appeal. So we made this little youtube video. The link is

30-Day Music Challenge, Day 17: A song that you hear often on the radio.

Okay, so I have no idea if this is still on the radio, as I never listen to the radio, but out of the songs I like it’s the one that was on the radio most recently.  I said radio a lot in that sentence.  Radio.

Ladies and gentlemen, “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga.  I know, I know.
