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…
