If there is one lesson Poppy Z Brite taught me , then it is not to APOLOGIZE ever. It's not the end of the world just because you dropped your pants and people saw your butt crack(which happened to me in several occasions and my friend Ryan refer to it as my cleavage).
It is silly to assume that just because you earned a degree or you have your face plastered over tabloids and magazines, people will fall all over you. Whatever your issues or how you see yourself exists in your own universe-alone. Everything moves in parallel.
Today, I want to talk about Piayas. It is a sweetened flat bread stuffed with molasses(the sweet ingredient). I remember as a kid when I used to run after trucks just to wipe off the molasses off their back faucets-for lack of better words. I know it is not clean that might result to stomach problems (which never happened) but I love that feeling of being able to perform a dirty but delicious job. Not to mention licking an oozing exciting sticky sweet substance from our own produce-sugarcane!
Here is a video about making Piayas.
You are so right, we all need to be proud of who we are, because if we're honest we all have hidden things that the world might view as not quite civilized.
ReplyDeleteThe Piaya is definitely a "sweet" treat! :-) I grew up with pancakes that are covered in syrup and I really see very little difference - they're sweet treats are great memories from our childhood!
