What to cook when you have to cook what you have…

I am so sorry that I have been a little absent. I know it’s waaaay too early in this thing for excuses though, lol. Truth be told, I had BETTER stuff to do, lol. Just Kidding! I have been struggling with the direction in which I would like to take this site. I’m sure that you would like more than my ramblings and rants on the daily and that it is possible that there is a chance that you, the reader, may not be as OBSESSED with food as I am. In any event, we’re experiencing “growing pains” and will take any suggestions…please. : )
On to the good stuff…
Today started as a good day. I took my new camera to work to photograph the Holiday Luncheon and Christmas Tree Pics. I was uber excited although I had a 9 am meeting just before the festivities. In any event, I sorta kinda donated my car keys in with my canned good donations to one of the 4 food banks we partner with every year. The worst part is that I did not notice they were missing until after their business hours. So, my friend picked us up from work and now we’re trapped. We probably wouldn’t be going anywhere but I never noticed how much I liked the option. : )
In a hurry to whip something up, relieve my stress and not take my stress out on the “unneccessarily pouty Greg” I remembered that I had purchased Jerk Pork from Publix. I used to be skeptical of pre-seasoned meats for some reason but since it’s just the two of us, I decided to give it a try. The meat is cut into big bite-sized chunks and is marinated in a jerk seasoning. IT IS SPICY AND DELICIOUS. I served it over egg noodles that night with corn on the cob and a side salad. However, a friend of mine says she makes it with yellow rice and I presume any other kind of rice or noodle would work just the same. This meal is hella quick, tasty and EASY. Give it a try one night. (P.S. I buy 2 packs for about $2.50 each and we eat it for lunch the next day as well). Good Stuff…

I was touched by this story a year ago and while shopping on Amazon.com (my favorite online store hands down) I came across this book and decided it was time to officially become acquainted with the now, celebrity chef Jeff Henderson. In short, Jeff Henderson grew up in inner city San Diego and by the time he was 21, he was turning $35K a week selling and trafficking cocaine. Soon thereafter, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. While in prison, he was a dishwasher and learned from some of the best cooks the prison had to offer. (Can’t picture it myself, lol) However, since Read the rest of this entry »
