More Random Adventures of Yellow Man!

HELLO!

So we've continued documenting the life of Yellow Man and what it's like to be yellow....or just him.

...so Yellow Man recently went to the mall, (he hates the mall) but needed to buy a new blue dot for his shirt...and he almost got run over and stepped on by someone! Now he hates the mall even more.He decided "fuck it", and got in his car and went to hang out with his friends. He arrived and they all just hung out around the block. Shown below from left to right is: Vaseman with the Mask face, YM (short for Yellow Man himself), Kitty Kat, Reddy Round-Up (she's the nicest person) and Pepe Pinguo (he has the purple mask). Oh and the 2nd photo is Machete, (he's the crazy friend).Well, hanging out with his friends was relaxing, but then, best of all, his friend Greenie showed up. They've always had a thing. (She's really hot). And they decided to leave and get away from everyone and go out into the forest. (No you perverts, it's not like that!) They just climbed trees together and laid out on the grass holding hands, (yes they have hands).
Then the coolest thing happened...he unexpectedly ran into his friend, Buddha, out in the forest! Buddha got to meet Greenie and they all ended up meditating together. Buddha also asked YM about his encounter with Jesus last week. It was pretty cool.
Well, now he's off to go make "tres leche". We'll keep you posted with his trips to space, East Hialeah and the beach. Goodbye for now.

Maracucho Patacones...

Recently, Karyna and I went to Venezuela to visit our family. We went every summer growing up and now visit periodically. However, the older I get the more I’ve grown to appreciate the yummy food that my grandma and the country have to offer.

Generally, Maracuchos love food filled with cholesterol or food that leaves a trace of grease on transparent paper. In Maracaibo you eat grease at whatever time of day, so it’s not rare to see someone at six o clock in the morning eating pastelitos, or empanadas accompanied with a very cold carbonated cola, ofcourse-since the weather is sooo dang hot.

My favorite of the greasiest traditional Venezuelan foods is the Patacon! These are truly Maracuchos. The patacon is made up of a green or ripe platano (plantain for those who don’t speak spanglish) filled with “heaven” inside. Think of a sandwich, but instead of bread you have a round and flattened ripe or green platano. You can choose between a tostone (green platano) or platano maduro (ripe and sweet plantain). Personally, I lOVE sweet plantains. The most popular patacones are filled with carne mechada (shredded beef) and ofcourse cheese! Cheese is probably the number one ingredient – the cheese is shredded and the softer kind sliced. Mmmmmmmmmm... I love Venezuelan cheese! I even brought a pound back. The other popular kind is jamon y salsa. Salsa to maracuchos is a ketchup and mayonnaise mix. I hope that one day you can enjoy this heavanly cholestrol filled delight.
