The photo reminds me to share that I have only recently come to know the joy of having eggs in some sort of Mexican style. Scrambled egg, salsa, cheese, in tortilla... has become a go-to lately. I am excited to open this door further, down the road.
I was having some leftover black bean chili while my son was eating an omelet. He didn't finish it so I combined the two. Life changing.
Ooh! Thank you for the reminder. I need to make some of those this weekend.
Huevos!
There may or may not be an Appetite post in the archives that mentions the glories of a fried egg on top of pinto or black beans. Also, fried eggs on top of chilaquiles is awesome.
We had bS' Black Magic Huevos for supper last week. And lunch. And lunch again. Yum.
beans are gross.
Bears are cool?
I make a Mexican omelette on occasion. These days I use just one whole egg and some extra egg white, add some southwestern spice and whip it up. I dice and saute Chorizo, onion and peppers, add the egg mix and cook it until firm, add some cheddar or jack cheese and fold in half. I slather the whole thing with Cholula sauce on top and serve it with home fries or hash browns. Now I'm thinking that chili on top would be pretty awesome, too. Also, it would be pretty easy to just scramble the eggs with the other ingredients and serve rolled in a tortilla, but I've never actually done that. Yet.
Migas, huevos, chilaquiles... Oh yeah. I'd post recipes, but that's what the googling is for.
Enchiladas with ground pork, onion, green chili sauce, cumin, chopped tomatoes, onion, pepper, cheese, Greek yoghurt, cilantro. Worked, but all of the thick corn tortillas split in the oven. Maybe more pre-soak in the sauce... Quality tequila/cointreau seemed to make it better.
You need to fry the tortillas in a little oil before you roll them. A little fat does the trick.
Our Boys & Girls in America album turns 10 this year and we are very excited!
We will be playing a limited number of live shows this fall to celebrate. Our old friend Franz Nicolay will be joining us.
More info on the first few shows will be available Wednesday, May 18. Mark it on your calendar!
(One apology: The plan was that today was going to be the day releasing the precise info on everything. Unfortunately, some details with our co-conspirators changed and it required waiting two more weeks on the details.)
Also, we are finally reissuing Almost Killed Me and Separation Sunday on VINYL this fall on Frenchkiss Records.
Stay Positive! It’s about to get incredible!
10 years... Blarg. I'm getting older faster than I had previously thought possible.
It certainly has seemed inefficient so far this season.

I missed sharing this story when first published, but today's discussion in the Senate reminded me: One of the projects I've been working on getting funded since last summer.
I was looking at that bridge when we were up for a visit last summer. Sounds like it should have smooth sailing, *fingers crossed*
CH - things got interesting yesterday, not good 'interesting'.
I biked by there and, for the first time, noticed it was closed last week.
The bridge, 626 feet long and 20 feet wide, was first declared unsafe and closed to vehicles in 1987. It remained open as a pedestrian bridge for another decade.
It was rehabilitated in 1999 but then closed to both pedestrians and vehicles in 2014. An inspection that year found numerous problems that made it unsafe, including severe corrosion near the top of one critical arch where only 35 percent of the column remained.
Isn't politics great!
Dang it.
So, just under a month from my 1-yr check-up on my hip replacement. In my Thursday lunch workout at the Y, I increased weight on three of the machines, and while my endurance still sucks and I can only run ~1/3 mile keeping up a pace I like, at this point my new hip is doing better than my other one. I'll call it a success.
Has it been 11 months already? Time sure does fly. Then I realize I've been hanging 'round these parts in their various forms for like 12 years and it's like "whoa"
I likewise was surprised that it's been 2 years since free's sad news. Tempus fugit.
I understand Fien, although I'm a little surprised they couldn't get something for him. But it seems like Milone can be a useful pitcher. On the other hand, I've pretty much given up trying to make sense of the Twins roster moves.
Yeah, Im surprised they cut bait on Milone. My guess is that they shopped him around but had either no takers or no good offers. Or maybe Milone didnt like his role as long reliever and quietly asked to be moved.
But it does clear out a bit of a log jam in starters or potential starters. Whether the Twins have enough decent arms that they want to throw out there is a different story.
We got him for a song, so TR's conscience is clear
Milone had very little upside but could be useful fifth starter. This is the Twins committing to younger, better arms, so I'm fine with it unless they sign Lincecum or some nonsense like that. Probably doing Milone a favor, though.
Coincidence that Lohse is throwing for teams this week?
Lohse and Garza, make it happen Billy!
Isn't The Freak throwing soon too? That could be amusing.
I can't remember which of the Twins people on Twitter that I follow said it, but it sounded like the Twins aren't all that interested since he wants to be a starter.
I realize that they have a lot of potential starting arms, but if you have a chance to improve the rotation, you should take it. Now, this season is effectively lost at this point, and it's highly unlikely that at this point in his career Lincecum moves the needle anyway, but this has been a consistent stance of the front brass for a while. I want to see Berrios in the rotation the rest of the season, but beyond that I think just about any of those guys aren't so good you can't possibly move them out of the rotation if you have a chance to make an improvement. It's not like their rotation is the mid-'90s Braves reborn or something. It's straight up bad.
I'm glad the front office isn't letting a few million dollars get in the way of the best possible roster.
Milone is the guy to ditch if you need a permanent spot in the rotation based on contract. But I don't know what Berrios or Duffey have done over the last month that they didn't prove last year, so why keep Milone in the first place? Maybe they thought he'd be more open to a bullpen move.
Signing Fien at his price didn't make much sense, especially if the Twins were going to balk at spending that much on a superior free agent reliever.
I agree that Milone is the guy to drop from the rotation, but I don't know why you wouldn't want him for long relief. I don't really care if he's disgruntled there, unless he becomes a huge distraction. As Henry Blake once said, "I can't be responsible for everybody's gruntlement."
Milone as a reliever certainly wouldn't project to be the worst guy on the roster. He at least said the right things when sent down last year and at least publically hadn't made a stink like Pelfrey did during his brief demotion to the bullpen...so who knows what went on behind the scenes.
Dave St Peter watched my son's little league game tonight. I think they have taken this scouting thing too far.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Pohlad's quotes aren't going to go over that well with a frustrated fan base.
"I don't know what the difference in philosophy that people would like to see," he said. "Everybody had universally high expectations for this season relative to last season. We bought into that. I still don't see any flaw in that. It's just system failure."
This is just nonsense. These are just words.
It is a system failure. It's a failure of their system that everyone bought into high expectations for this season compared to last. Was there no one that offered criticism?
Seriously. If they had said at the outset "we built something last year, but we were ahead of schedule. Let's get Sano and Buxton and Berrios a year of service and then we'll talk" and then done that, then no problem. Heck, their biggest signing has worked out spectacularly so far, but the upside there is still the future, not this year. That's the one piece they weren't counting on.
The Twins have a system failure in their ability to develop talent. They can find it as well as anyone. But they aren't getting it major league ready.
Sano has been great. They drafted and developed Dozier and Plouffe. The biggest problem is the Twins rushing players to the big leagues. Most of them have skipped AAA. They've gotten some good results for at least a short time from players that little was expected of, such as Santana and Duffey. Expecting this team to get to the postseason was unrealistic, if anyone did. People forget that the Royals' core players that came up together were in the majors for 2 or 3 years before they got to the playoffs, and the first time was just as a wildcard. Look at Hosmer and Moustakis. It just takes time for some players. We forget that all those breakout rookies last year were the exception not the rule. As much as losing sucks, I'm enjoying watching this team because of how young it is. There is exciting young talent in the lineup, the bullpen and the rotation now with Berrios and Duffey now in it.
First off, if they're rushing players, then that is a big problem. That is a systemic failure that the f.o. is responsible for.
Second, yes, it takes players time to develop, all the Royals. So why are the Twins yoyoing players back and forth between levels. If they want players to have the time, why play Suzuki so much over Murphy? Why the oversized bullpen when players need more MLB at bats? Get some platoons going, get players in for the late innings, etc. Don't waste roster spots on guys you're willing to cut. The Twins were stupidly playing for now with players who need to develop, and in the process stunting that development too.
Preach it brother Novak.
So which is it? The Twins are rushing players? Or they aren't giving enough playing time to young players?
As for "yoyoing" players, has there ever been any proof that players that come up and struggle and are sent back down to the minors are being hurt? There's plenty of examples of players that were demoted to the minors before coming back up and being successful: Torii, Trout, Plouffe, Dozier all come to mind. Also, Twins were roundly criticized for keeping Hicks in the majors for too long while he struggled. Now they're criticized for not sticking with players long enough.
And yes some players were brought up before they were ready. But how do you know until they get to the majors? Sano and Buxton were both top prospects and both lost a year to injury and then were called straight to the majors from AA. One thrived and the other struggled. Why?
The Twins also are criticized for leaving Berrios in the minors too long.
The record is awful and people want to place blame. I see a ton of potential, a lot more than I've seen in a number of years. Or have you forgotten when Scott Diamond was the "ace" of the staff and the big free agent signings were Kevin Correia and Mike Pelfrey. Remember when the big foreign import was Nishi. Do you remember a number of relievers that couldn't throw a baseball through a pain of glass? When the 8th inning was pitched by Blaine Boyer and Aaron Thompson.
Now the bullpen has big men with big arms. They don't always know where it's going, but they're learning. I don't mind players learning in the majors, but there are times when players just don't need to go down and get their mojo and their confidence back. It happens all the time. If a player can't recover from that, I seriously doubt that it was ever going to work out for him anyways.
has there ever been any proof that players that come up and struggle and are sent back down to the minors are being hurt?
Is there any proof that they're being helped? Sure, we can point to players who've been successful after being sent down. And we can point to other players who weren't. And we can also point to players who stayed in the majors, worked through their struggles, and became really good, and we can point to other players who stayed in the majors, continued to struggle, and were never worth a darn. None of it proves anything. All we know about any of them is what did happen. We can't know what would've happened if they'd been handled differently.
I will say, though, that It has seemed to me (and this is a general statement, not one just aimed at the Twins) for some time now that the incentive, if a front office wants to avoid criticism, is to send a struggling player back to the minors. If they send him back and he ultimately succeeds, they say, "See? He just needed a little more seasoning." If they send him back and he ultimately fails, the say, "See? He just wasn't good enough." It's a heads-I-win, tails-you-lose.
It takes more confidence to stick with a young player than it does to send him back down. Not just confidence in the player, but confidence in your own convictions. If you really thought, at the time you brought a young player up, that he was ready for the majors, then seeing him struggle for a few weeks, or even several weeks, should not change that. Sure, at some point you may have to decide you were wrong, but to change your mind based on a few weeks' worth of data shows that you didn't have any confidence in your decision in the first place. And that's a problem.
Now I don't mean to make it sound like I don't have any criticism. My main point is I think there's plenty of talent and it's underperforming. I think that falls more on the manager. From what I've read most places, it seems like Molitor is getting more of a pass than TR or even Pohlad. My guess is most people felt like he did a good job last year and they liked the hire to begin with. I just wonder if he has a hard time keeping the team loose. It seems like if anything they're trying to do too much at the plate and on the bases. I hate giving Torii credit for much, but he did seem to be able to keep a team loose. I just wonder if Molitor relied too much on the players to do that.
I also don't like that a supremely gifted player like Buxton is considered too fragile to bat leadoff while Danny Santana and his sub-.300 OBP is batting leadoff every day. I was really bewildered when Nunez, who has been an excellent pickup by TR, by the way, was batting ninth, even batting behind Murphy, who ended two innings with multiple runners on base.
Molitor is supposed to be more analytically minded but doesn't seem to appreciate the importance of batters reaching base. I mean, if he's not going to think outside the box and bat the AL leader in OBP at the top of the order, he should at least go back to Dozier first and Mauer second like he had at the beginning of the season now that Dozier seems to be hitting better.
I agree that Molitor needs to receive his fair share of criticism.
This. I think TR has put talent in the system. But they aren't using or developing it with anything resembling a plan. That seems like managers and coaches.
It is a system failure, but you can't blame the front office or manager, right Jim?
I believe that somebody on this team has to step up as individuals and start winning some games for us. I don't mean the team. I mean individuals have to step up and win games. They do on other teams. We've got to do it for our team.
Oh. Other teams don't bat Danny Santana lead-off though, Jim.
Ugh, he's talking about Mauer and home runs, isn't he?
I don't know. If the pbp people are truly the mouthpiece of the Twins, then the front office seems to be decently happy with the start to Mauer's season. Dick, Dazzle and Provus have all been pretty clear about their praise.
Now, the whole "leadership" thing... that's a different matter entirely.
don't HRs == leadership?
So essentially, we have a total system failure, but we shouldn't make any changes to the system that failed.
