Taqueria Latina

Posted by rdub in Culinary Orgasms

Q: How can you beat $1 tacos?
A: Make them worthy of a culinary orgasm.

Taqueria Latina, a hole-in-the-wall on Maude and Murphy, makes one helluva taco.

I dropped in on my way to San Francisco last Friday, picked up 3 chicken tacos, and ate them in the car. It’s a good thing I brought a change of pants…

Those tacos were damn good.

Vacation procured. Bags packed (well, just “bag”). Food mostly procured.

Location – unknown… somewhere with snow. And possibly skiing.

Everest, baby

I logged near 30,000 vertical feet of downhill skiing yesterday. My dad said I don’t look like someone who hasn’t skied in 8 years.

w00t!

I may also take this weekend off and go back country skiing/winter camping again. Hopefully this trip will be a bit less epic.

I kind of feel my energy/drive level rising. Interesting, that. On that last trip, I wanted to peak-bag 3 nearby 10,000 ft peaks in one day. If we go to the same place, I may give that a shot again.

Launch Party

I went up to SF and hit up Zeitgeist with some of the team last night. Having just successfully launched their baby, they were all busy getting very, very drunk. I’ve never had that much fun on a Tuesday night, and boy could I tell Wednesday morning.

One little detail I failed to take into account last night: they all have the week off – I do not.

Fark rolled in to work long enough to grab some stuff and head home. I rolled in, got in my car, drove home and slept for an hour or so. My head was killing me.

But yea, to be able to join in the collective sigh of relief was a neat experience. A couple of the team members thanked me personally for my work – that felt really nice, especially in the face of all the shit I have been catching.

photos updated

Posted by rdub in Photography

I’ve finally updated my photos page with my latest galleries, including photos from my New Zealand trip that I took last January. My photo server is back online.

I’ve also linked up my Carson Pass backcountry photos (not the most recent one, as my camera was frozen, but the one after Thanksgiving), Curly’s 30th birthday, my National Photo Posting Month ’06 submissions, and my current portfolio of personal favorites.

Updated Photo Galleries.
