and finally,

"i heard somebody say
today is the day
a big ole hurricane
she's headed our way
knocking over the buildings
open your eyes boy
we made it through the night
 i think we are safe....
.. and i raised my voice to the air
and we were blessed.
it's hard to give,
it's hard to get,
but everybody needs
a little forgiveness"

so, there was: chopped basil, shoyu, scallions chopped, sesame oil, rosemary, diced portobello and whole wild french mushrooms, all soaked together, and then sauteed and the egg added and the slices of fresh mozzarella to melt into, and the sun dried tomatoes on top, all on top of a tortilla. new year's eve.

the fireworks are going off in every direction: green, blue, red, white. the kids across the street have been setting their own off for days, excited and restless.

and tomorrow is tuesday.
