Rapture, Be Pure, And You Don't Stop to Punk Rock




Some guy's saying the Rapture is coming on May 21st but I have seen (and tasted!) a bit of heaven this week myself in the form of Asian Lettuce Wraps. I have been caught up in ground pork (and turkey) lately and its fun finding ways to make it special since it can be dressed up so many ways.


I read a bunch of recipes but decided I don't really wanna add any sugar, although they do taste great with the mixture a bit sweetened. I opted to keep out the sugars and add roasted peanuts. I didn't have Hoisin sauce but was able make an impromptu version with soy sauce, peanut butter and sesame oil.

These were so heavenly and spicy and crunchy, satisfying yet light. I felt like I reached some level of food Nirvana. I've had these in restaurants and loved the idea but never really had one that was on the mark.

So back to the end of the world this Saturday. His followers have taken it upon themselves to take post in Union Square with t-shirts and signs. Also others have purchased billboards in Phoenix, Detroit and Jersey and who knows where else. Having been to these places I can see how this could be considered good news, worthy of some celebration.

However, I'm not so sure its good news for everyone. Let's just assume he's right. If he IS right, the Rapture is the start of this whole Armageddon fiasco as I recall so its not the 'end of the world' over, done, end scene type situation. Only the good people get to go up and then the rest of us sinners have to stay here for the battle I think....and maybe some righteous plagues? Whatever the details, its way bad news if you wake to find yourself here and others gone that day.

Since only the good people will be missing on Saturday, we won't probably see any change here in the city, so someone will have to notify us.
