not in the noise this month, but I’ve got jalapeños!
Dearest readers of The Noise,
The latest issue should hit the streets any day now. Before you shuffle frantically through the pages looking for my latest contribution, please know that I am not in the September issue. I’m working on something big and wonderful for October.
I’m writing about water. I love monsoon season. I love when the skunks come out. I love the thunder and I love thinking about the water when it falls and how vital it is to our surrounding ecosystems, the health of local rivers. I love how clean the air smells. I went mountain biking this weekend and realized that, because of the water flowing in washes that are typically dry, I had to rethink my route. I didn’t mind. A lot of people don’t like the monsoon rains, but I’ve learned that it is never okay to complain about rain in Arizona.
I love how the monsoon rains take over my gardening duties, and how everything explodes with green and fruit after it’s been raining for a few weeks. The first tomato from my garden was the best damn tomato I’ve ever had. My jalapeños are doing fantastic; and they’re hot as shit. If anyone has a good receipt involving jalapeños, please let me know.

I like to get fresh penos and fry them up with my eggs in the morning. Add some cheeze, tomatos and you have a pinchee omlett.

that sounds delightful. I’ll try it out. I’m really lousy at making omletts though.
