the people push Young to desperation move

good people,


comrade castro and i are still in anchorage. rep. don young had a salmon bake in response to the protest we did last week. he thought he would feed poor people in alaska, and show that one meal will mean that he is feeding the people. see, good people, how politician try to manipulate us through food. (don't take a free meal without saying "thank you but i will still exercise my freewill on election day.")

rep. young tried to orchestrate a counter-performance in order to show that the people of alaska are with him. he promised a free salmon bake, but as you can see in the picture above, he is as truthful about his intented food choices as he is with his political choices.

remember: unethical politician is always unethical in the kitchen, and that's bad for those on a peaceful mission.

peace,
mero cocinero

ps. take a chance today, go to a meeting of another poltical party other than your own. invite them to lunch. discuss. take a walk.

tip: take a cookbook to market

greetings comrades,

I am on my 2nd week here in the great state of Alaska, and I want to share a tip with you that you can use the next time you go to the market.

Before leaving to the farmer's market, take your favorite cookbook. At the market, open it up, and choose a recipe. Then buy the veggies you need. Taking the cookbook gives you the opportunity to have a variety of choices, and is a good way to meet new community members (just in case they have the same book or they would like to borrow yours because they are inspired by your example.

stay strong, eat well,
question what goes in
your stomach and your head,

peace,

the people of Anchorage will never be defeated

Yes, good people, I have been spotted.

I was photographed for the front page of the local newspaper.

I did not go there to get acclaim. I joined with my sisters and brothers who were alarmed that unethical politicians were eating a pig unethically in celebration of their unethics. This unethicalness is preposterous and unethical.

You can read the article here

However I am extremely upset at the newspaper called me a performance artist. I am a revolutionary chef! The media has belittled me so that they can belittle the will of the people. They accuse me and the others of being actors so that our hunger for justice, peace, and politicians that invite everyone to the table is just something to be dismissed.

Good people, I am not an actor. I really cook and I really believe the revolution starts in the kitchen. And these good people here in Anchorage, are hungry for social change and those that felt it was entertainment or just antics by the few are as disconnected to the people as to the food they eat.

And here's a recipe to help keep you connected to your community, your food and to keep you refreshed when you thirst for justice,peace, and compassion:


taco pao

1 lb. of ground free range (ask its permission before eating and give thanks for it sacrificing its life for you) turkey or tofu
lawry taco spice (no schillings, porfa)
1 head of lettuce
3 tomates
1 lb. sharp cheddar queso
1 dz. flour tortillas de harina (the best are de san anto)
a bottle of safflower oil (as needed)

brown meat in a 7” pan. follow instructions on lawry package after meat is browned. fry tortillas while meat is simmering the spice.

shred lettuce, place in bowl.
cut tomatoes into cubes, place in different bowl.
shred cheese, place in different than the other different bowl.

place oil in pan. put heat on medium high. put tortilla in oil. (cuidado w/the oil..es tan peligroso) fry for around a minute. turn over. fold in a half in a u-shape with the uncooked side out. the best way to do this is with a spatula and a fork. fry the two sides. place on paper towel to get all that nasty aceite out. replenish oil as needed. Remember, do not waste your oil. Our dependency on foregin oil is the reason why we are in this war! or until out of tortillas.

two tacos per person are plenty unless you have big hungry Xicanos from Soledad, Califas or amigos Sa’moa like I do.

Get someone to help you do the lettuce, tomate, and cheese, so you can chismear or engage in a dialogue about a pressing issue affecting your community. I always like talking about education or religion when I make tacos, it gives me that learned holy feeling while I eat.

in Anchorage

Greetings Good People,

I have been in Anchorage, Alaska a few days. It has been incredible. It is my second time. My first, I helped organize a revolutionary potluck to raise funds for Out North, where I explored U.S.-Iranian relations through Abgushte Burritos.

This trip I have started by going to various farmers and farmers markets. Finding out what the issues that matter most to them, because what happens in the Lower 48, I am told, does not reflect Alaska's reality. This is a good point. We think we are a United States, but what makes our country great is our differences, our uniquenessess.

We are performing Aug. 17, 18, and 19 at Out North in Anchorage, AK.

Tell a friend or 2 or 3.
