RANDOM



Some say San Diego has the best burrito, but I beg to differ. From experience San Francisco has the best burritos. My personal favorite burrito is the carnitas burrito with pinto beans, cheese, Spanish rice, guacamole, a little bit of sour cream, and either hot sauce or jalapeños. All in a large flour tortilla steamed with the cheese, which will not break ounce it has everything inside. The rice being the base, I believe makes or breaks a burrito. If the rice is too dry then it ruins the taste of everything else. Next comes pinto beans, which can’t have too much liquid on them when they are put in the burrito. The greasy, juicy, and crispy carnitas comes next – chopped and pilled onto the burrito. One of the most important part of the burrito besides the meat is the guacamole. The guacamole must have a taste lime and chunks of tomato and onion in it with visible chopped cilantro in it. Most importantly it is made with fresh avocados. Sour cream, for me, doesn’t necessarily need to be in a burrito, but it is nice when it is. Lastly, the spice of burrito – jalapeños or hot sauce. It depends how spicy I want my burrito, but I usually go for the hot sauce. This make up of different ingredients created my perfect burrito, which can be found a Gordos Taqueria.

My go to spot for burritos is Gordos Taqueria, where everything is freshly made every day. There are five locations in the Bay Area, three of them being in San Francisco. Since everything is made at location, each location is slightly different when it comes to tastes. The one closest to my house always has the best carnitas and steak, while the other one’s carnitas and steak are a little too greasy for my taste, but they give a slightly bigger portion of protein than the other place. Even though Gordos is great, there is also a slew of great burrito spots in the Mission district in San Francisco. La Taqueria and Taqueria La Farolito are a couple of the better spots in the mission. These spots are cheap and great tasting, which I believe to be the best quality of any taqueria.

    Thanks for this information my man. I'm working full time in SF so I'm going to have to try this place. Sounds like a hit. You've probably already heard of / been to Benito's here at USC (Autozone taco stand guy) and that's great as well. Always in for an Al Pastor Burrito!

WORLD WE DARE TO IMAGINE

Surfing it is fun and relaxing, which I believe everyone should have access to. I personally am not the best surfer in the world, but I can catch a wave. It is a awesome way to start your day and gives you time to think about your day or life. My idea is to have a pro gram were people from different communities come take lessons and just surf. These people would be people who wouldn’t normally be able to have access to surfing. They wouldn’t just learn how to surf, but be able to meet people from different communities than their own and gain a new hobby from it.

Born on Third Base

Born on Third Base by Chuck Collins is a great about that looks at the inequality debate between the rich and poor from the perspective of the one percent. Chuck is a part of the one percent and describes his journey through his life and his struggle with dealing with the privileges that he received from birth. He did not agree with having enough money to not work for the rest of his life and he decided to donate a majority of his wealth. He wanted to live his life to his value and not to the fact that he is very privilege and wealthy. He utilizes his privilege and wealth to start a non-profit that would help the people help fight against inequality. Except most people want this fight to be violent and out of rage towards the wealthy, but he believes that through his organization they can help peacefully facilitate the debate. He helps with this by utilizing his perspective from both sides. This book has helped with my perspective on how each side perceives the other. It is also ...

Job Description of a Sailing Coach

Image
A Day in a Life of a Sailing Coach One of my favorite hobbies and competitive sports is sailing. Most people have an image of a large sail boat with people drinking and wearing boat shoes, when they think sailing. Even though I like to casually sail occasionally. I especially love to race dinghies (small sailboats) competitively. I enjoy sailing so much that I coached at my yacht club for a year and a half. A sailing coach is exactly what it sounds like, a person who teaches sailing. Sailing is a very unique sport to get into and to learn because of the limited access to equipment and coaches a person might not have. At the yacht club where I coached, we provide everything a kid would need to learn to sail. I coached mainly beginner sailors who had almost no experience or not at all. Our goal as coaches, each week, was to have each kid driving and be comfortable in the boat by the end of the week. This is no easy task. There are three descriptions that he...
