adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

Great to eat on sad days, gray days, days after too much drinking, and days when you just need a little bit of comfort.

Pour in chili. Layer jalapenos, 1/2 cup of cheese and onions on top of chili. Top with corn chips. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and bake 5 minutes more.
