Saturday morning in Fresno

2010-09-04T10:13:00.000-07:00

My wife Tracy discovered a strange and scary scene in front of our house this morning, while getting back from walking the dog. On our front porch -- in addition to the morning newspaper -- was a discarded pair of jean shorts with a belt, bloodstained work boots and socks, a large puddle of coagulated blood, and a half-dozen quarter-sized spots of blood -- all about a foot from our front door.

We're not crime scene investigators, of course, but it appeared that the person staggered up to our front porch, sat on the ledge of the flowerbed, and bled onto the concrete for a while. The person smashed one of Tracy's plants and knocked over several others, took off his boots, socks, and shorts, sat and bled for a bit, figuring out what to do, and then left.

We canceled our breakfast plans and called Fresno PD. They dispatched Officer Maynez, who slipped on his rubber gloves and poked around at the items. "So, these aren't yours?" he asked. He found a single folded dollar in the pants pocket and noted what he called a significant amount of blood on the porch and on the boots. He speculated that maybe someone ran from a DUI, but he said that those kinds of incidents usually involve the person discarding their shirt in order to avoid description. After taking some notes, he then asked us for a paper bag so he could pick up the items, recommended we clean things up with a generous dose of bleach, and then at my request gave us a couple pairs of rubber gloves to protect ourselves.

Officer Maynez said he would make a report on the call, in case "there was a homicide or a shooting or something" nearby. I asked him if he would need any photos or samples of the blood. He said, "No, there's plenty of blood on the shoes if we need DNA." I went to Walgreens and bought a cheap jug of bleach and a scrubber. I slipped on the gloves that Officer Maynez gave us, doused all the bloody spots with bleach, and scrubbed the porch clean. Tracy then hosed everything off and we righted her overturned plants.

The whole sequence reminded me of an incident in 2004, when my brother from another mother, Eric Parker, first moved in. It was Eric's first night in the house and he walked out to his car the next morning to bring in some of his things. He noticed that my garage had been tagged with graffiti. We discovered later that day that our neighbor's front door and car had also been tagged, as well as the baseball backstops in the park across the street. It was a rude welcome to the neighborhood for Eric, and it was the kind of unsettling incident that happens in the dead of night that we often do not see until morning.

Eating out: Robertito's Taco Shop (Fresno, CA)

2010-08-28T14:44:00.000-07:00

I am definitely not the most high-profile taco connoisseur in these parts, but I do like to frequent a few good taco joints around Fresno. One of my favorites is Robertito's Taco Shop at Blackstone and Gettysburg. It's open 24 hours and it has become the perfect late-night stop for my wife Tracy and me when we're coming home late from a show downtown or in the Tower. My stand-by order is two chicken tacos a la carte, although there are plenty of other guilty pleasures on the menu.

I recently ate lunch at Robertito's with my dear friend Teresa Flores, a local mixed-media artist and filmmaker. Teresa is a Fresno native and, like me, has a longtime love affair with Robertito's. We met there for a going-away lunch on the eve of Teresa leaving for Santa Monica and the prestigious Otis College of Art and Design, where she will pursue an MFA in public art. Teresa ordered the California burrito with carne asada, which is a favorite order of another artist friend of ours because it's a burrito that includes -- wait for it -- french fries!

While there, Teresa told me about a short film she once shot in the Robertito's women's bathroom. She said that it used to be covered floor to ceiling with graffiti, a scene that someone like Teresa, who loves graffiti art, absolutely loves. The day we met for lunch was the first time she'd eaten there in a while, and she reported that the current bathroom was much different now. Teresa wrote on her blog about the cult status of the Robertito's bathroom and her disappointment at its cleanup and makeover.

Even though the place has a long history of being sketchy, we agreed that both the food and the company was good. (The bathrooms are also pretty clean now, as you can see.) Graffiti art in the bathrooms or not, eating at Robertito's feels a little like sitting inside a time capsule -- the ripped vinyl seating, the faded menu board, the greasy order window, the rickety wooden trash box, and so on. The cache always feels special.

Bathroom photos courtesy Teresa Flores, who is camera shy.

Eating out: Loving Hut (Fresno, CA)

2010-08-13T21:05:00.000-07:00

Tracy and I had a lovely visit from my cousin Marisa a few weeks back. She was up from Simi Valley visiting family in Fresno and Dinuba, just weeks before leaving to Albuquerque, N.M., to begin her Ph.D. program in communication and media studies at the University of New Mexico. Marisa and I, through the wonders of Facebook, have kept in better touch these last few years, and she and Tracy have a lot in common, being fellow speech and communication scholars.

Marisa and her family eat mostly vegetarian and vegan food, so we delighted in taking her to one of our favorite Fresno vegan restaurants, Loving Hut, near Fresno City College in the Tower District. Loving Hut is a small national chain of vegan restaurants whose motto is: "Be veg. Go green. Save the planet." Of course, I love saving the planet and being green as much as the next guy. But I also happen to love the vegan Vietnamese food at Loving Hut.

I ordered the No.6, a dish called Blissful State. It consisted of lemongrass vegan soy protein, steamed rice, and veggies. This is my favorite dish from Loving Hut, and has stayed mostly the same since the restaurant was formerly called Au Lac, before the national affiliation sometime in the last year. The pepper flakes make the lemongrass vegan soy protein so hot, and it's one of my favorite fake meat dishes in town.

Tracy ordered the No.11, a dish called Meditative Chow Mein. It had delicate yellow noodles, tofu, vegan soy protein, onions, and veggies. Later, in her experiments with her Take-out Menu Cookbook, Tracy has tried to re-create this dish at home, to excellent effect. So excellent, in fact, that I'm actually eating bok choy willingly these days. (I'm a picky veggie eater and always have been, but this dish has changed my mind about bok choy.)

Marisa ordered the No.18, a dish called Divine Pho. It consisted of rice noodles, veggie broth, oyster mushrooms, tofu, and vegan protein. Marisa said she often likes to order pho at pan-Asian restaurants. It made me feel a bit guilty, as a longtime Fresnan, that I didn't take her to one of the many hole-in-the-wall numbered pho joints near our house. But there's always a good bowl of pho to be had next time when my dear cousin comes through town.

Back to school means new portfolios

2010-08-08T15:15:00.000-07:00

I love back to school time, when all the deals on school supplies come pouring out at retailers, office stores, and drugstores. After eating breadsticks and pizza for lunch with my parents at Corsaro's Pizza on Draper Street in downtown Kingsburg, Tracy found these amazing portfolios while puttering through the Walgreens in Kb. While it is true that I love my Pee Chee portfolios from back in the day, these folders at Walgreens were supercute.

Tracy's favorite, with li'l crabs.

Some folders were quite a bit nuttier than others.

I've always suspected popsicles and peace were connected.

Pirate themes are always a big hit with the kids.

Now here's a portfolio that the farm bureau and the C+C Music Factory could equally love.

I love new portfolios. The end.

Divas love Home Depot

2010-07-15T12:54:00.000-07:00

I took my good friend Reaz to Home Depot this morning so he could get a spare apartment key cut. When we got there, I noticed that the key center had a whole wall of sports team keys. Keys of all shapes, sizes and team affiliations were available. I snapped this photo of the NFL keys available for the Raiders and 49ers. Reaz, who previously lived in Texas, looked for a Cowboys key but we couldn't find one. He picked up his regular spare key, with cutting, for less than two bucks. These sports team keys started at more than three bones just for the blanks, cutting not included.

I asked the Home Depot lady if they sold a lot of the sports keys. She said not really, but that they do sell a lot of the Diva keys to women. What are those, you ask? Well, on the side of the key center was a whole collection of Diva keyblanks for sale, starting at $4.48 just for the blanks. Some later Googling revealed that Diva keyblanks were available in dozens of designs, colors and bedazzled options, often for cheaper than Home Depot charged. I think my blogger/artist friends Aurora and Jenn would particularly appreciate Diva keys.

The keys got me to thinking about how everyone seems to be talking about divas these days. I told Reaz my theory about how I feel like I have to "look the part" when shopping at Home Depot. Since I bought my house in 2002, I've made many, many trips to the home improvement giant at all hours of the day for all sorts of tools and gadgets I've never even heard of, let alone thought to buy. I've often joked that I feel as if I need to clip a tape measure onto my belt or wear dirty work boots to be taken seriously by many of the Home Depot customer service folks. On this day, Reaz and I entered the store in our tennis gear on our way to the courts at Kastner Intermediate. I had on my little white footie socks and my Fresno State tee and he had on his headband. We did not exactly look like Home Depot types. But if a diva could do it, I guess we could, too.

No ifs, ands or butts

2010-06-24T07:39:00.000-07:00

Cigarette butts pile up in a makeshift ashtray next to the technology building at Fresno City College. According to the campus smoking and drug abuse policy, "In order to provide a healthier climate for teaching, learning and study, smoking is prohibited in all campus buildings. Additionally, tobacco products are not sold on campus." No more than four feet away, a sign on the fence reads, "No smoking in this area." Shot 23 June 2010.

Fierce Creatures live tracks

2010-06-20T18:11:00.001-07:00

In a shameless attempt to attract more page views to my little blog, I am posting three live tracks from the Fresno art-pop band Fierce Creatures here for downloading, courtesy 90.7 KFSR. They have a pretty loyal local following for being such a new band and that's sure to be stoked by the release party for their debut EP, I Mostri Feroci, on July 6 at The Captive, a new Tower District venue run by Johnny Quiroz and his hard-working Love The Captive promotions crew. I recently had the band live and unplugged in the studio on my Evening Eclectic show and they were a real treat. RIYL Arcade Fire, hand claps, sunny afternoons.

Fierce Creatures - Phantom Athletes [Live on 90.7 KFSR]

An afternoon with my brother

2010-06-18T17:00:00.000-07:00

I've always kind of wanted a brother, someone to talk to about dude stuff. I already have a little sister who is a schoolteacher in Las Vegas. But she and I don't talk much. So when Eric Parker came along a few years ago, I got my wish. Not only does the guy wash windows (above), write a great blog (here), and regularly rub elbows with literary greats (here and here) but he has also has been just about the best brother I could have asked for.

Eric grew up in Clovis, lived in San Diego, and got both his BA in English and his MFA in creative writing here at Fresno State. He currently lives in San Diego where he blogs and is working on a book project. Ever since I met him in 2004, Eric and I have talked about doing some daytime tours of the little towns that surround Fresno. Even though both of us have lived in the central San Joaquin Valley off and on for most of our lives, there are so many people and places right under our noses here that we want to check out and immerse ourselves in--a la Gay Talese or Susan Orlean, two of our favorite writers--just to see what we find.

Eric was in town this past week or so doing research for his book. We had a couple chances to get together for meals and to catch up. This past Tuesday afternoon, Eric and I went on a quickie tour of spots in Minkler, Reedley, Dinuba, Kingsburg, and Selma. Our first stop was the Minkler Cash Store on Highway 180 northeast of Sanger. We bellied up to the bar and visited with the owner, Mary, whose mother Sylvia knows my dad from his days as a truck driver at the former Central Valley Ready-Mix, and a local, Jeffrey, who was playing the piano when we got there. Mary said she remembered me from when I was a kid. We had a great visit with them and loved the organized clutter of the store.

Next stop was Uncle Harry's restaurant on G Street in Reedley. This is not the Uncle Harry's that most people know as a bagel shop. This is the Uncle Harry's of Harry Horasanian, a longtime restaurateur and a friend of my mother's family for generations. His Armenian food is well known by folks all over the valley and even my vegetarian brother Eric went animal style with the turkey kabob sandwich during our visit. He said when you're going local, you've got to do what the locals do. I'm pretty sure he didn't regret it.

We motored into Dinuba to visit my parents next. Eric snapped this shot of me and my mom before we left. But mostly, Eric and I hung out in the garage with my dad, playing billiards and ping pong. The results? Well, my dad did a lot of shit talking and beat everyone in billiards. But no one could touch me in ping pong. Eric held his own in both and he even shared a can of Olympia with my dad. I've never been a beer drinker and I think my dad has sometimes wished I was. But two out of three dudes (67%) kicking back an Oly on a hot summer day worked better for us than one out of two (50%).

We rounded out the tour with a stop at the Sun Maid raisin plant just outside of Kingsburg and a quick drive down Golden State Boulevard through Selma, past the famous Wilkins Drive-In, on our way back. The Sun Maid plant was a little disappointing because only the gift shop is now open to the public. No tours inside like back in the old days. But at least there were free samples, good conversation, and a few photo opps for two brothers who made time to take their own little tour of a couple places that had always been there.

Eating out: Jasmine Garden (Fresno, CA)

2010-06-06T18:23:00.000-07:00

Tracy and I spent most of our weekend hanging out at home. We've thankfully found ourselves with a couple weeks off between spring and summer teaching terms. So what's the first thing we do when we've got any free time on our hands? Eat out, of course! On Saturday, we were craving something fresh so we decided to hit our favorite Vietnamese restaurant, Jasmine Garden at Shaw and Woodrow near Fresno State.

I ordered my old stand-by: the house special no.7, which is called kra-tiem prik tai. It's a Thai black pepper and garlic dish with green onions, sauteed in a brown sauce and served over a bed of romaine lettuce. This day, I ordered it with chicken and at medium hot. (I've also had it with tofu and with beef, each good.) When you tell the folks at Jasmine Garden that you want medium hot, I've found that most of their dishes aren't very hot. But with this particular dish, because of the combo of pepper and garlic, a medium hot order will set your mouth on fire for a while.

Tracy ordered the C2 chicken pho, a hearty noodle soup that's pronounced kind of like "fuh" and is served with rice noodles, broth, and a selection of the diner's fresh ingredients. Here, Jasmine Garden offered Tracy a bunch of possible additional fixin's for her pho including mint, basil, bean sprouts, jalapeño peppers, and lemon. The broth included lettuce, green onion, pearl onion, and tons of slow-cooked spices.

A fair number of reviewers on Yelp and similar sites give Jasmine Garden a bad rap because their food is apparently more pan-Asian than it is pure Vietnamese. The owners, reportedly, are Hmong. But to me, that's Fresno--a place where flavors and influences come together in unusual (and very American) ways. Hardcore pho enthusiasts in town would point to the central Fresno area roughly bounded by Clinton Avenue to the north, Fresno Street to the west, Olive Avenue to the south, and Chestnut Avenue to the east, where there are at least eight pho restaurants, as the best options to find the classic Vietnamese soup. But Tracy and I love the comfort of Jasmine Garden.

Eating out: Teazer World Tea Market (Fresno, CA)

2010-06-02T16:38:00.000-07:00

For a long time I've had a hypothesis that a person's tea or coffee order had some kind of unintended deeper meaning, a sort of predictor of the drinker's personality. Earlier this week, my wife Tracy and I had a chance to meet up with a trio of friends at the Teazer World Tea Market in downtown Fresno. Since it was the Memorial Day holiday, it turned out to be an unusually quiet afternoon at the normally bustling Galleria center, on Capitol between N and O streets. It was the perfect opportunity to not only enjoy some good company but also to get back into the swing of observation and test my theory.

Our friend Marcus wasn't quite sure what to order, overwhelmed a bit with Teazer's impressive tea selection. With input from Tracy and the bartender, he picked an elephant chai, which is a vanilla chai drink lightly spiced with cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. Marcus, who is a graduate nursing student at Fresno State, was kind and gregarious enough to share a sip of his drink for anyone at the table who wanted one. Someone said that Marcus's drink was the best at Teazer.

Tracy ordered her usual: the razmatazz, a black tea drink with raspberry, key lime, and lemongrass. I also ordered my usual: the limey, a black tea drink with lots of key limes. Tracy and I do love to try new local places to eat out all the time, but we also tend to stick to our comfort orders when we return to those places. I think I've ordered the limey every single time I've been to Teazer, in fact, even though they offer more than 200 teas.

Our friend Reaz told the bartender that he wanted a drink that was more like a dessert. The result: the monk's blend, a black tea drink infused with vanilla and grenadine. Reaz, who teaches journalism at Fresno State and is also a classical music composer and short-story writer, powered down his drink efficiently, a clear nod of approval to our hosts at Teazer in his first ever visit.

Our friend Susan ordered a tangerine dream, a drink known for its tang and vigor. Susan, who teaches journalism at Fresno State while also knitting, spinning, and researching social media, perhaps summed up the day best with her response to my question of how she picked her drink. "I wanted something cool and refreshing on a hot summer's day." While her thought initially reminded me of an old Nestea Plunge commercial, I later realized that my afternoon of observations made a lot of sense.

Eating out: Eddie's Bakery Cafe (Fresno, CA)

2010-05-29T16:30:00.000-07:00

One of my longtime favorite Fresno lunch spots has to be Eddie's Bakery Cafe on the northwest corner of Cedar and Herndon. My good friend Kelly Paramo first took me there circa 1995 when we were Fresno State undergrads and I've been loyal ever since. I like to go to Eddie's with my wife Tracy (pictured above) to watch happy people walk out of the place while delicately carrying giant decorative cakes and fruit tarts in their arms.

I always like to order the grilled chicken panini. It comes with a thin-sliced, grilled chicken breast, caramelized onions and fontina cheese, on a panini. They even cut the crusts off to make a fancy line and include a big pickle spear. I always order mine with the seasonal fruit salad.

On this day, Tracy ordered the caesar salad and added a grilled chicken breast. It comes with chopped hearts of romaine, caesar dressing and shredded parmesan, with a slice of freshly baked sourdough on the side. Eddie's also sells their homemade salad dressings.

And when you eat lunch at Eddie's, make sure to leave room for dessert. On this day, Tracy and I split a piece of chocolate cake. I asked the baker what the name of this cake was and he said it didn't have one. But then he made up the name "sprinkly shoelace chocolate cake" just for us.
