Julienne Carrot Salad
flaskgordon:
Because the produce shop I frequent in Bed-Stuy always has these super convenient tubs of julienne carrots for about $.89 per pound, I always grab some when I go. I put the carrots in soup, saute them, and throw them into salads. Yesterday, I was hungry and not sure what to do with my life… Until I remembered I had a bell pepper, a lime, and a red onion. The Julienne Carrot Salad...

but dysfunction is pathology and after a while i’m talking to a brick wall. a very pretty brown brick wall.
for my fellow church babies:

yes? okay.
please tell that to everyone you know.
cuz they’re outchea doing absolutely nothing and expecting miracles.
thanks.

and now i know why people say teenagers are terrible creatures.
i’m really trying.
but sometimes, i just do not know if i can maintain.
i’m working on it.

You will scream at your supervisor.
You will scream at your assistant.
You will scream at writers of articles on the internet (although FUCK BROKELYN is always and forever relevant as they are elitist, hipster, shitbag pigs).
You will cry at pictures of babies on the internet when you don’t even care about babies.
You will smoke.
You will cry because you’re forever...

Ingredients
1 can full fat coconut milk, plus 2 cans water (more water can be added to thin the liquid)
