The Chimichanga /  by Masumi Taguchi

At the food trucks in Portland Oregon, you can really feel the heart and soul of the cooks put into their dishes. When I purchased this chimichanga, I ordered it specifically because I missed an enchilada and my naive self thought that it looked similar, so why not ask for it? Everything was phenomenal, but the standout of this dish was the different textures that it had. The tortilla was perfectly crispy on the outside, and then soft on the inside. I can go on and on about how delicious and worthwhile this chimichanga was, but let's leave that for Yelp. 

Side note: The lady who took my order was so cute. Giving her my credit card as payment, she saw my name and then went on to call me "Ms. Taguchi" for the rest of the transaction (I hadn't changed my name yet to Kat." So cute.

Foggy Morning /  by Masumi Taguchi

Beautiful foggy morning in Portland, Oregon. 

When taking the photo of the stop lights and red car, I was laying flat on the ground on a little island in the street. After taking a few shots, I heard a voice yell, "Are you alright?!" I looked over and there is a lady in her suburban looking straight at me. I responded "yeah thank you!"
Immediately after the signal for her to turn left began and as she was turning she finished our conversation with, "Oh I thought you got hit by a car!" Then she was off and away.

That lady gave me hope for humanity that day.
