Valentinez Day, 2013

Happy Valentinez

Creosote Bush

Sonora desert, Tucson, AZ

Lichen-covered rocks

on valentinez day, 2013, i hiked around in the sonora desert, collected a few seeds from creosote and barrel cactus. at dusk we went to the korean market and bought a jackfruit the size of a basketball and gummy bears. the folks i was hanging out with were paleo and hadn't eaten simple sugars in a month. they were bouncing off the walls that night. 

Jackfruit Journey:

Jackfruit tastes like gummy bears and the seeds can  be boiled and eaten.  

 

popped off ketosis permanently

we started our adventure in february, headed to southern california. i began collecting seeds every day. zoe gave us a lift to L.A. after a week of failed attempts catching out of west oakland. in L.A. we ate fried chicken, visited old friends, saw a necklace that was prayer beads with a tape cassette hanging from it. we slept in the redwoods in santa cruz and by the beach in malibu.
