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.

[Life: Make] Quick & Easy Mexican Salad

1/3 head of red cabbage
1 head of lettuce
4 green onions
1/2 cup ground beef cooked (or chicken or tofu or shrimp)
1 onion diced
1 tomato diced
5 oz of sliced black olives
2 cups of tortilla chips, smashed into bite sized pieces
1 small bunch of cilantro leaves
1 diced avocado
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (or monteray jack or cojita)

Mix all together and toss with a dressing of your choice.

My favorite is Chipotle-Lime:

1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced chipotle peppers
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Whisk together and voila!
