Sometimes the problem with having a brain is having to live inside it.

Worry has a remarkable ability to feed itself. One thought becomes another, which becomes another, until you’ve worried about the original problem, every possible consequence, and several disasters that haven’t happened yet. Why don’t we replace the whole troublesome mess with a few scoops of ice cream?

If you’re going to lose your mind, you might as well have dessert.

Regret Au Gratin

Some regrets are foreseeable. That doesn’t necessarily stop us.

There are foods we know we’ll pay for later, but sometimes the promise of potatoes covered in bubbling cheese outweighs concern over future suffering.

Regret Au Gratin captures that unfortunate moment when pleasure gives way to consequence. Martin Luther himself attributed some of his intestinal troubles to the work of demons. Here they return to torment another poor soul who probably knew better than to eat all that cheese.

No regrets. Until there are.

Gran Errores y Chicharrones

Everybody screws up. The real question is how long you’re going to keep thinking about it. We have a remarkable ability to replay our mistakes long after there’s anything useful left to learn from them. Reconsider every decision. Imagine better outcomes. Reopen old wounds. Repeat as necessary.

Gran Errores y Chicharrones offers another possibility: accept that you blew it, get yourself some chicharrones, and move on with your life.

The past will still be there when the bag is empty.

Frantic Cries and Frito Pies

Some problems are bigger than snacks. There are moments when everything feels like too much. You cry. You scream. You assume the worst. Eventually you get hungry.

Frantic Cries and Frito Pies pairs overwhelming anguish with the modest consolation of Fritos preparados—a bag of corn chips loaded with cheese, chili, jalapeños, and whatever else might make things slightly more tolerable.

It probably won’t fix anything. But it is a Frito pie.

Ontoy chamoy

“Ontoy” is a playful contraction of the Mexican Spanish ¿Dónde estoy?—“Where am I?” Unfortunately, knowing how to ask the question doesn’t guarantee an answer. Sometimes you know exactly what you are and still have no idea what you’re doing here.

This little gummi bear confronts some of life’s more persistent questions: Where am I? How did I get here? What am I for? And why am I covered in chamoy?

Cooked Cabbage and Emotional Baggage

Everybody comes with baggage. Some of us just need a bigger suitcase.

We drag old heartbreaks, embarrassments, losses, grudges, fears, and assorted damage along with us, long after we’ve forgotten why we packed some of it in the first place.

Cooked Cabbage and Emotional Baggage pairs all that accumulated psychic freight with a nice warm bowl of cabbage, because sometimes a rhyme is reason enough to make a painting.

Ennui Martini

Boredom is uncomfortable. Fortunately, we’ve invented cocktails.

Drinking has a remarkable ability to make an ordinary evening seem temporarily less ordinary. A little ceremony, a little conversation, a little chemical assistance—and suddenly there’s something to do.

Ennui Martini considers the peculiar bargain of drinking to escape boredom, when the thing making the evening more tolerable may also be quietly making everything else a little worse.

Iced Uncertain Tea

Uncertainty is uncomfortable. That’s probably why we’ve invented so many ways to negotiate with it.

Tarot cards. Lucky coins. Tea leaves. Fortune tellers. Horoscopes. We don’t necessarily expect them to predict the future—we just hope they’ll make uncertainty a little easier to live with.

Iced Uncertain Tea imagines that search for certainty with an oversized Bill Miller iced tea—a San Antonio favorite—because the refreshment of sweet tea on a sweltering Texas day is one thing that’s never in doubt.

Raspas y Tristezas

Childhood has a remarkable way of turning ordinary moments into emotional extremes. A snow cone is pure joy. Until it’s dropped. Then the world is briefly over. And somewhere nearby, there are always bees waiting to complicate things.

Raspas y Tristezas (“Snow Cones and Sorrows”) grew out of conversations with Anthony the Poet about growing up in San Antonio. He introduced me to the neighborhood raspa man, along with the strangely vivid memories—both wonderful and tragic—that could be attached to something as simple as flavored ice.
