Tag: tunas

I sulked around this weekend, partly due to the death of someone I only knew from Internet posts and because this damn busted toe is still irking me. In any case, one of my favorite things to do when I sulk and comtemplate matters is eat. Unfortunately for me I couldn’t find what I wanted most, which is tunas. You northern folk might know them as prickly pears. I mean, I had everything. I had the giant bowl full of water and ice to soak them in, the knife to trim off the needles (if necessary), and even some lemon to give them an acidic kick. But no tunas. No goddamn tunas anywhere. We used to pick these off nopales that people grew just off the street. They’re found everywhere down in Mexico, where cacti of all sorts really do coat the landscape. I don’t know why (this is a lie, by the way, as people always know why), but I thought of eating tunas while lying in a hammock near the sea. This is so possible that it disgusts me to remain here, tunaless, and write like this is the only thing available to me.
