How to deal

When you crave Mexican food and you live in China:

Either you have an awesome friend named Elizabeth who makes salsa and shares it with you or
you go down to the market, buy tomatoes, onions, and peppers and make your own salsa.

Make your own tortillas.

Cut them into chip-sized pieces.

Bake them until they're crunchy.

Dip them in the homemade salsa.

Give thanks for the ability to make your own chips.

Take pictures to commemorate the occasion.

All in all a process that takes several hours, and if you ask whether it was worth it, the answer is a resounding YES!


"Now it is a strange thing, but things that are good to have and days that are good to spend are soon told about, and not much to listen to; while things that are uncomfortable, palpitating, and even gruesome, may make a good tale, and take a deal of telling anyway."
-J.R.R. Tolkien The Hobbit
