Quick And Easy Fiesta: Beef Burritos And A Delicious Cadillac Margarita Recipe

Waiting for sprinkle of cheese

     The sun is out, and, to me, that's a reason to celebrate. And what better reason to celebrate than a fiesta night at home? K Dub and I had a few friends over the other night, and we made them margaritas, burritos, and all the fixings for a Mexican fiesta. This is how we did it.
     For the burritos we chopped a half of an onion and cooked it in a pan with an entire 8 oz. can of black beans. We then added a half a pound of beef and approximately one half of a red bell pepper. To be honest, we had made way too much beef stew the night before, and we fished out the beef and pepper from that. It's called being thrifty and efficient people. From there, we added about 1/2 teaspoon of paprika and a few teaspoons of pepper. Seasoning, to me, is a personal matter, so you can add more or less if you want. Finally, we added about 1/4 cup of tomato sauce and stirred the ingredients together.
   After we cooked the mixture for about ten minutes  (or until the onion becomes softened), we got out six tortillas and filled them with the mixture. We then put plenty of cheese in them, and rolled them up. To top it off, we put sour cream and more cheese on top. What we got was pure deliciousness.

   Then, it was time for the margaritas. For those, we decided to go with one of our favorites, the Cadillac Margarita. We mixed 4 1/2 oz. of 100%  agave Tequila, 3 oz. of Grand Marnier, 3/4 oz. fresh lime, and 3 oz. of sweet & sour mix in the blender. Of course, we added plenty of ice in their too. When it was all blended together, it yielded three servings. For the sake of tradition, we took the lime, rubbed it around the edges of the glass, and dipped it in salt before we poured the tasty mixture in. Let me tell you something, it worked because those drinks were super good.
   I'm not the only one who thought this though. Our guests loved the drinks so much, we had to make them several times that night. Fair warning, they can be a bit strong so make sure the lightweights at the party mange themselves. Nevertheless, the drinks and the food turned out great so if you are in need for some ideas for your next fiesta night, both recipes are ones that I would definitely recommend. Do you have any fiesta suggestions, stories, or ideas? If so, please leave them in the comment section below so we can all share in them. Happy eating and drinking folks!

Popular Queen: Marti Gould Cummings Chats With RuPaul''s Drag Race Contestant Bianca Del Rio

Bianca recently sat down with Marti Gould Cummings to chat about how it feels to have done this, her first foray into the drag world, and her friendship with Lady Bunny.  This is sure to be one in a line of many interview's that Bianca will probably do as she gets closer to the crown on RuPaul's Drag Race so watch out world because here she comes!                                        
                             

Betty White Is Baffled By Homophobia

    Betty White recently sat down with Larry King, and, among other things, she stated that she doesn't understand homophobia. After all, she see it as a personal matter that is none of her business. Now, if we could get the rest of America to think like this, we'd be getting somewhere. You may recall, Betty White had gay friends, such as Rock Hudson during her career, and this could certainly be what makes her spot on about this issue. After all, studies have shown when someone knows a gay person they are more likely to have positive opinions about gay issues such as marriage. Just another reason to love America's sweetheart even more!

Calling Them Out: Why LGBT People Should Get Behind The People Exposing Corruption With The #myNYPD Hashtag

     It was June of 1969. Cops stormed the Stonewall Inn in New York City, arresting gay folks for living their lives. Having dealt with abuse from the police force for years, the LGBT men and women finally had enough. They stood up to the brutality, and the gay rights movement began. Today, folks are still standing up to the NYPD, which some say has become more violent in the years since Stonewall, but they are doing it in a much more peaceful way. They are taking to social media to stand up to the violence.

(From www.benswann.com)

     The New York City Police Department first asked people to send pictures of their force earlier this week using #myNYPD. Expecting to see smiling faces of their force, the NYPD got a surprise when Twitter users took the opportunity to call them out for their abuse of the public. From photos of an elderly man who took a beating from the NYPD after jaywalking to the story of a boy whose legs were broke by cops, New Yorkers are letting the world know about the abusive police state that exists in the Big Apple.
     As a minority community, we as LGBT folks definitely need to support this kind of thing. After all, minorities, both racial and sexual, are the ones who are mainly the victims of this kind of abuse. We have been, and still are to a degree, targeted by law enforcement simply for being who we are, and we need to support others who share our struggle to exist peacefully in a discriminatory world. So, if you have any stories or pictures of police abuse, make your stories heard by taking to Twitter using #myNYPD or whatever your city's police department is, so that we can make sure that this kind of abuse towards our fellow humans comes to an end once and for all. After all,  if Stonewall taught us one thing it was that speaking out against injustice is the only way to ensure that more injustice in the future. If we do this, who knows, we might be able to give future generations a better world, free of  hate, discrimination, and corruption where no one has to fear their local law enforcement officials. 

You've Got Mail: RuPaul's Drag Race Praised And Attacked For Dropping Phrase From Show

From omgblog.com

        
     As you know, RuPaul's Drag Race has dropped the phrase "You've got she-mail" from the show after complaints poured in from transgender advocates that the popular catchphrase on the hit reality show is transphobic. While many former contestants weighed in saying that the line should be kept on the program, former contestant Carmen Carrera, who is transgender, came out swinging saying that she thought the word "she-male" was inappropriate in any case. While she may hold this opinion, other trans women, including Our Lady J, have come out saying that Logo dropping the term is nothing but scensorship.
  As a cisgender male, I must say that I don't see what the fuss is about. To me, RuPaul never referred to a transgender woman as a "shemale", and I don't know if calling a drag queen a "shemale" qualifies as transphobia at all. After all, I see tons of movies where a straight man calls another straight man "the f word", and I take no offense to it. Now, if they referred to a gay person as that word, it would be a whole different story because that is blatant homophobia. If this is the case, I would not take RuPaul's word as an attack on trans people unless they were directed at a trans person.
   Though I don't find Ru's words to be transphobic, I understand that some people in the transgender community do take offense to the words, and, if it makes them that upset, it's no skin off my teeth that they drop the words from the show. After all, I watch the show for entertainment value, not for one catch phrase. To make such a big fuss over them getting rid of the words only wastes time getting accomplished what we need to as a community. So, let's come together and respect one another's opinions. This way, we can be a united front in fighting for equality for all people regardless of sexual preference or gender identity in the years to come.

Comedy Do: Standup Comic Rob Gleeson Talks Being Gay On "Conan"

   I think I have a new crush named Rob Gleeson. This extremely cute guy, with a wicked sense of humor, first got my attention when I saw him on "Conan" earlier in the month (Video above). He talked openly about being gay, Wisconsin accents, and why he was afraid to come out for so long.  His standup routine was adorable, and it has me wanting to see more of him. What do you think? Do you think Rob has what it takes to be the next big name in comedy?  

American Man Wins Boston Marathon: First Time In Over Two Decades

From thesunchronicle.com

    It's been over two decades since an American won the Boston Marathon, but Meb Keflezighi did just that today. Coming in at 2 hours, 8 minutes, and 37 seconds, Keflezighi took home the top prize at the race. This was the first time since 1983 that an American has won the race, and it is a testament to the American spirit that this occurred a year after the Boston Marathon was targeted by terrorists. Rita Jeptoo, from Kenya, took home the top spot for the women's division. Though they didn't win, many others raced today to show their support and respect for those who died and were injured in last year's bombing. In my book, all who participated in this years race are winners simply due to their determination to complete the marathon, especially in light of the tragic events that happened last year.

Fly Young Red Makes BET Debut: Is Hip Hop Getting Closer To Embracing The LGBT Community?

hit song "Throw That Boy Pussy At Me" took YouTube by storm, has made it big time. In fact, he even got to sit down with BET.com to talk about the song and his life. It's a pretty big deal to see an openly gay artist with a song that deals with gay life make it this far, and it has me thinking that hip hop may soon be more accepting of GLBT people. Watch the interview after the jump and let me know what you think. Will gay rappers be more accepted in the rap community in the near future?  

History Repeating: Jews In Ukraine Asked To Register With The Government

    In some extremely terrifying news, Jews in Ukraine say that they were told to register with the government. This happened after masked men told them they would be deported if they did not register and handed them a flyer telling them exactly what to do. The Russian led government of this particular part of Ukraine has denied any ties to the incident, and world leaders are calling for the incident to be looked into thoroughly. It's truly appalling to think that in this day and age their are still people with such extreme ideologies living among us, and it shows us that the human race has much farther to go.

YouTube Nation: Guys Hitting On Guys Video Goes Viral

   Being gay, we have to be a little bit more careful when trying to pick up the perfect guy. Or do we?

Watch below and let me know your most horrific experience trying to pick up a guy.

Stay Away: Brunei Just Passed Horrific Gay Stoning Law

From commons.wikimedia.org

 If your looking to go on vacation, stay the heck out of Brunei. The Southeast Asian nation has just passed a law that is met to crack down on homosexuality in the country. How are they doing this? Well, homosexuals will be publicly stoned starting next week. The country's current law puts GLBT folk in prison for ten years, but that's not enough for them I guess. So now, they are going to start trying to silence the voices of gays and lesbians by killing them. Hopefully, the United Nations will be able to step in as they have already released a statement of strong disapproval on the issue, but, if this doesn't work, we will be seeing the bloodshed of many innocent lives over the next few weeks, months, and maybe even years. It's a sick world we live in kids! Pray for humanity tonight!

"Portlandia" Tackles Gay Stereotypes With Josh Homme: Watch

You know, your crazy cousin who thinks that you should have brunch with her on Sunday or your sister who expects you to pick out her clothes. Well, "Portlandia" dove deep into this hard hitting topic when they featured a sketch where Josh Homme came to stay with Carrie Brownstein's character. When Homme's character doesn't live up to expectations, Brownstein's character learns a lesson about stereotyping. Watch below and tell me if you've ever had a similar incident happen to you.

Helping Out: Singer Pharrell Comes Out For Marriage Equality On "Ellen"

     Pharrell Williams is having one great year.  His song "Happy" has taken the nation  by storm, and it even earned him an Oscar nod. Now, he is lending his voice to issues that are important to him, equality for women and GLBT people. He stopped by "Ellen" this week, and besides talking about how he's so busy he didn't realize he was nominated for nine Billboard Awards, he stated how absurd it is that GLBT people have less rights than others in this day and age. It's great to see this talented guy has our back, and I wish him much success in the years to come.

Come And Watch Me Get Married: My Problem With Destination Weddings

(From www.destinationweddingmag.com)

 With gay marriage becoming legal state by state, more and more gay weddings are happening in this nation than ever before. This leaves many gay couples wondering what kind of wedding they should have. "Should I throw a lavish gay wedding?" many ask. Others may wonder, "How can I have a small and simple ceremony that still shows my love to the world?". Well, when it comes down to it, each couple decides what kind of wedding they want to have, and their friends and family come together to watch them tie the knot. It's all nice and lovely, but sometimes I find couples can take this to extremes. Especially when they throw lavish destination weddings that cause their guests to pay thousands of dollars just to see them tie the knot.
   I'm not condemning all destination weddings. Many are lovely, and it's nice that they treat their guests to a bit of rest and relaxation while celebrating their love. Also, with many states not having gay marriage it may be necessary for GLBT couples to travel to legally tie the knot. My trouble comes when soon to be spouses know that their guests don't have the budget to fly from South Dakota to Hawaii for two days just to watch them tie the knot, but they expect them to come anyway. When these guests don't show up, the couple acts offended, and may even distance themselves from the people who did not attend. These people would have otherwise been more than happy to share in the couple's love, but the cost made it impossible for them to come. This exclusion needs to stop.
  Whatever happened to the good old days when couples would just have a few friends and family members come to the courthouse or a local park to watch them get married? It's as if television has turned every person into a "Bridezilla" or "Groomzilla", who thinks that their big day is all about them. In reality, marriage is about loving the person your with and sharing this love with the world. It's not about a trip for you and your significant other that may make your guests suffer for months to come up with the cash to join you. That's what your honeymoon is for! So, if you are planning a big destination wedding, take into account that not everyone has the luxury to travel to England, Hawaii, or Paris. Be considerate and understanding of their needs. If a lot of your guests cannot afford to join you, reconsider. After all, a wedding at home with the people you love will always be better than a destination wedding without your loved ones. I guarantee it.

Watch: Hillary Clinton Gets A Shoe Thrown At Her While In Las Vegas

 When it comes to not being original, those who hate Hillary Clinton seem to claim the top prize. They proved this today, when a woman who was very anti-Clinton, sent a shoe flying through the air towards the former first lady. Besides copying off of an Iraqi who did the same thing to George W. Bush ages ago, it was EXTREMELY TASTELESS, rude, and illegal to do to a former First Lady. Clinton managed to handle the incident with class though, as she joked that she would have done a better job with the throw thanks to her days in softball. Watch the crazy woman and Clinton's genius response below. Clinton in 2016, I say!

Sweet Eats: Five Of Portland Oregon's Best Restaurants

 As you may know, I live near the Portland, Oregon. When I first came here, one of the things that I loved was the fact that they have so many great restaurants and eateries to satisfy any taste. Here are five that I think are the best. If your ever in Portland and need a place to eat, these are the places to go.

1.) Acadia, located at 1303 NE Fremont Street,  is the best place in town to go get great southern cooking. From water served in mason jars to the best oyster po'boys in town, this place serves up New Orleans charm in the Pacific Northwest.

From boudinlink.com 

                     
2.) Habib is one of the best places to get great Middle Eastern food here in Portland. They have great gyros, and a happy hour menu that has some other goodies at bargain prices. It is located at 1021 SW Morrison Street.

From Google Plus 

3.) At number three, we have the upscale Portland City Grill. Located in "Big Pink", Portland's most iconic building, the restaurant provides great food and even greater views of the city. It is a little pricey, so it's not for everybody.

From www.yelp.com 

4.) Located on the world's hipster highway, Hawthorne Street, Hawthorne Fish House has great seafood that is affordable and delicious. From fish and chips to oysters, this is the place to go for seafood in the southeast part of the city. It's located at 4343 SE Hawthorne Boulevard.

From www.corbettfishhouse.com

5.) At number five, we have Marrakesh, which features some of the best North African and Middle Eastern food in the city. What makes this place super special is the atmosphere, as you sit low to the ground and even are treated to live belly dancers on certain nights of the week. Marrakesh is located at 1201 NW 21st Avenue.

   These are restaurants that I truly recommend you visit if you ever are in the Portland, OR. area. They all have great food and give a great sense of the diversity that exists here in The City Of Roses. For any other information, each of these restaurants have websites that you can visit.

Meet David Letterman's "The Late Show" Replacement: Stephen Colbert

From www.eonline.com 

    David Letterman shocked fans last week when he announced he would be leaving "The Late Show" next year, and many wondered who would be his replacement. Would it be a fresh face or somebody who has secured a place in the late night game? When would the replacement be announced? Well, CBS released a statement today letting everyone know that Stephen Colbert will be taking over the chair that Letterman has held for so many years. "The Colbert Report" host will apparently show his true colors upon taking the late night gig, as he will not be playing a character or talking about politics as much. Meanwhile, Comedy Central has not announced what will happen to "The Colbert Report" when Colbert takes his place at the CBS table. What do you think? Will Colbert be a good replacement for Letterman? If not, who would you like to see take Letterman's place?

   In news that is sure to cause some controversy in the world of deliciousness, a brave few former employees of Taco Bell have come forward and said they created the Doritos Taco back in the 90's. The group, who were interns back in the day at Taco Bell, say they were the brains behind the Doritos Taco after coming up with the idea when Taco Bell held a contest to see who could launch a successful new product.  They even  have pictures and promotional materials to prove that they are the rightful inventors of the tasty, crunchy, cheesy, deliciousness that is a Doritos Taco. What is Taco Bell saying about the matter though? Well, they're crying foul saying the group didn't have a great follow through and maintaining that they are the rightful owner to the Doritos Taco What do you think? Do these former employees have a claim to one of Taco Bell's most liked products?

Five Albums To Make Your Spring Cleaning A Lot More Fun!

  Yesterday, I gave a rundown of things that are essential to get your spring cleaning done. They are none too fun, but I have something that will make them a lot easier to do. Here are five albums to listen to while doing your spring cleaning.

1.) Dolly Parton's "Backwoods Barbie" is the first CD you should listen to while doing spring cleaning. It has several high energy songs, and a few educational ones in there as well which will make you think while scrubbing those dirty dishes.

2.) Macklemore's album "The Heist" is my second choice to help you get your butt in gear for spring cleaning. It has such songs as "Thrift Shop" and "Can't Hold Us" that will have you shaking your groove thing while cleaning out your closet. 

3.) Cher's "Closer To TheTruth" CD is number three on the list. It has great power ballads and a few upbeat folksy tunes like "I Walk Alone" that will have you singing your heart out while doing your dusting. 

4.) At number four, we have Rupaul's album "Born Naked" (available on Amazon and iTunes). This has mostly upbeat dance tracks that will have you slaying the bitches, and the dirt in your house, double dutch.                                          

5.) Last but not least, Pharrell Williams' new album "G I R L" which has the infectious song "Happy" on it is the perfect CD to listen to while you do your "Spring Cleaning Is Done" victory lap. 

                                               

So there you have it folks. Five albums that you can listen to to get you through spring cleaning. They are all available on iTunes. Happy spring cleaning!
