#not authentic

[trexalicious]

BUSTED!! As Meghan Markle rolls out new jars of jam and honey, a new report reveals who’s actually making these products — it’s not her. The news that a Netflix team may be sourcing the ingredients or directing a factory to make Meghan’s jam or her brand’s $18 honey tends to erode any sense of authenticity...

‘Authentic?’ Netflix, not Meghan Markle, makes her jam, report says

@grits-galraisedinthesouth and I were having a conversation on how Meghan Markle seems to be a rinse and repeat person. Same story different day. GRITS likened Meghan’s life to Groundhog Day…and she’s right!

I have never seen anything like Meghan. She astounds me. She copies the lives of others as a sort of script for her life. She runs around saying she is “authentic” but she is anything but that. Do you spend your days saying how authentic you are? I never do. And I never dwell on how anyone sees me. I am the best person I can be at any given moment and if someone sees me at my worst I own it. None of us can always be perfect. She has to be pretty darn insecure. Neither Meghan nor Harry never take ownership of their poor life choices. They always blame others for their failures.

In Groundhog Day, Bill Murray finally becomes the man he should be…Will Meghan Markle ever wake up to a new day?

Yes - she will someday see the error of her ways

No - she will wake up every day just to repeat the same mistakes over and over

Bomb AF Lentil Taco Filling

I made lentil tacos this evening and I swear to god I almost fucking died, I loved them so damn much.

This might sound gross to some of you, but you know that heavily spiced and so-bad-it’s-good greasy taste of a plain-old Taco Bell taco? These tacos tasted like that, only with virtually no oil whatsoever. All you get is the fiber of lentils (underrated kitchen hero, lentils) and the in-your-face punch of delicious, delicious spices.

This pic might not be too inspiring, but the taste sure as hell was.

Disclaimer: I haven’t had meat from Taco Bell in more than a decade (yay, #veglife), so I’m not the best judge of the true Taco-Bell-ness of this taco filling. BUT my meat-eating boyfriend is a Taco Bell fiend (cue side-eye) and he was like, “I’d fuck up a plate of these tacos and go back for more, EASY.” He agreed that they were reminiscent of Taco Bell, but better in the sense that they were clearly not going to stop your heart with grease. Staying alive is nice, blah blah blah, you get it.

ANYWAY. Here’s what I did. Make ‘em yourself and thank me later.

You’re gonna need the following:

1 cup dried lentils

1 medium onion (I used yellow)

garlic cloves, like 6 maybe, IDK your life or your palate

2 1/2 cups of veggie broth, low sodium for ~health reasons~, with a little extra in case you need more near the end

1 tsp neutral-ish oil

And then you need your spice list. I guess you could use a premade taco seasoning packet, but making your own spice mix rocks because you can adjust the flavors to suit your individual tastes. This is my mix; I tend to use heaping teaspoons and flat tablespoons, so I guess these measures aren’t exactly-exact. They’re close enough, though.

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp oregano, dried

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp paprika (smoked)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 1/2 tsp cumin, powered

1 tbsp chili powder

Directions:

Dice your onion and garlic; I used a yellow onion and like 6 cloves of garlic, but feel free to adjust. Add these and a teaspoon of your oil of choice (I used olive) to a nonstick pot with deep-ish edges (like this one, my fav pot ever) and cook over medium until the onions are no longer crunchy. 

Add your spice mix and 1 cup dried lentils to the onions/garlic and let all the flavors get to know each other—so like, cook it for a minute or two until your kitchen starts smelling really nice. Do not burn your seasonings or my grandmother will rise from her grave and smack you with a wooden spoon or a shoe, whichever is closest at hand.

Add your veggie broth to the mix. Amp up the heat and bring it to a boil before reducing to a simmer. Leave it covered for about 30 minutes, until lentils are tender.

Take the cover off your lentils and let ‘em thicken up, stirring every now and then so crap doesn’t stick to the bottom and burn. If they seem under cooked at all, add more veggie broth and then cook it down some more.

FOR THE LOVE OF MY GRANDMOTHER’S GHOST, TASTE THE FUCKING THING HERE!!! Add salt if you need to. Add more garlic powder if you need to. Taste it, ruminate, and make adjustments. This is YOUR taco filling and YOU need to love it, so make it your own, please.

Put your lentil taco filling on a tortilla or a taco shell (or fuck it, a taco salad, IDFC), slather it in whatever toppings your heart desires, and enjoy a taco that won’t kill you and is tasty as fuck.

I put my filling on whole wheat, low-carb tortillas, then topped it with romaine, tomato, avocado, cilantro and sour cream. The boyfriend ate his with cilantro and raw onion. Both renditions were great. We’re gonna fuck up the leftovers tomorrow. Next time I’ll experiment with adding some jalapenos and other non-dried stuff to the cooking mix.

Shout out to one of my fav food sites, “Mexico in My Kitchen,” which features legit recipes and not my Taco-Bell-ish lentil abomination. Want to make some seriously delicious Mexican food? That’s where you learn how.

2019 Miss Grand International is allowing Miss Grand U.S.A. to “represent” the Native American’s with this unauthentic “regalia”. She is unable to verify her heritage. This is a gross misrepresentation of Native American’s and a prime example of entitlement ignorant people have. 

My culture is not your costume. FULL STOP.

My new weights made from fishing weights and pipe cleaners might look weird, but it's amazing how much easier weaving is now! I'm still hoping to make bags to cover them and improve how they hang next to each other, but I'm very happy - each thread has about 4x the weight on it than it did before!! 😱😃
