I am so far above you.
Most likely.
Really because there is a good possibility that I am flying home as you read this, after getting my bones cold in the Georgia wilderness, gorging on various meats and exotic dishes (my mother’s and brother’s excellent cooking), I am coming home to run lean, produce work, and get the ball rolling again. I am anxious.
I have a fundamental belief that the renaissance of Cuban cooking will happen here in Georgia because of so many Cubans moving up here and fending for themselves, making all manner of dishes they can’t find up here for themselves. Try to find a decent Croqueta here is a challenge.
It’s like I have said about Asian cuisine coming out of Mexico. With the influx of Chinese coming to Mexico, it’s just a matter of time we see some amazing stuff come out of there. I have already seen posole (a traditional soup or stew from Mexican cuisine. It is made from hominy with meat. It can be seasoned and garnished with shredded lettuce or cabbage, chile peppers, onion, garlic, radishes, avocado, salsa, or limes.)mixed with Ramen for a fantastic soup.
Then Imagine the people they will produce?!? The babies will be divine brown Asian gordis, and then they will grow up and have some fine-ass mixes coming around. Only a bright future!
Ooooh, and you thought Mexicans work hard now, Chinese-Mexicans?!? Bow to your overlords now, cabron.
For now, I may be on Holiday leave from here. I know I have been absent for a bit already, so maybe you don’t care, but all in all, I have to get down to working more than showing. That means drawing, and that means priorities, including family and holidays. I will be posting what I can and when I can hear, but mostly to get to January. Then as the New Year starts, I’m going to be ANNOYING AS FUCK.
So here is to the New Year, Xmas, and all that. I will see you on the other side; Omicron is damned, and whatever else is trying to kill us this week. Don’t believe the hype. Keep your head on tight, and looking up, you are more than THEIR words and FEARS. Stand straight and take it on because I believe you can.
