3:00 A.M.

Being up with my wife at this time of the morning is great for 3 reasons, (1) it's the only time we're alone, (2) we get to conversate & pick each other mind, (3) share a pot of good coffee
Another rainy day in Memphis, Tn

Frost bite

It was cold as ($#$*) today and I had to work in it, all day long. Its something about having to work in the cold weather that makes you want to rethink just why you didn't go to college & finish. Lets see hmmmmmm, oh yeah that (%@*), (ADD) problem I have. Anyway whats for dinner, how about: Salmon stuff w/feta cheese, spinach & red bell pepper, all on a bed of steamed wild rice & asparagus. Warm comfort food for the soul to help get rid of thoughts of beng a looser!!!

Tonights dinner was a success, we had Moroccan style Roast Chicken & Potatoes, with Thai Ginger & Sesame Salad.

For dessert, Steamed Pears with Dates, Walnuts & Honey sauce. It was very good & makes me think that I blew the one chance I took on learning to be a Nurse, when I should have found a way into Culinary School. Oh Well, at least I have the food network.

Money Lost

God, another rainy day! Usually I don't mind the rain so much but the bad side of it, is that when it rains I don't work which translates into no money for the day. Oh well, at least I get to spend this time with the family which is great. Guess I'll go over recipes & decide what to prepare for dinner. How about (Moroccan style Roast Chicken) & (Oven Roasted Potatoes) & for dessert (Steamed Pears w/Walnuts, Dates & Honey sauce).......... I think this will be a dinner to be proud of.........................

Whats Your Favorite Movie?

My favorite movie is & the sequel, The Bourne Supremacy !!! Why because I love action movies and both of these movies have alot to offer in the way of action, from chase scenes to fight scenes its all here. If you're like me you are waiting for The Bourne Ultimatum which is the third & possibly final movie in this series. Which by the way isn't due to come out until August, 2007.

Grilled Mahi Mahi w/ Jerk Spice

This dish was supposed to turn out a little different but the recipe for some reason was unclear to me. Here's the recipe:

For the marinade: 1 red onion, roughly chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme Green tops of 2 scallions, chopped 1 teaspoon allspice 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon white pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 jalapeno, chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 teaspoons sea salt
For the fish: 4 (5-ounce) mahi mahi fillets Salt
Prepare the marinade: Place all ingredients into food processor and process for 15 seconds. (There will be extra marinade. Marinade can be refrigerated for 1 week or frozen up to 2 months.)
For the fish:
Season the fish with salt and spoon 2 teaspoons of the jerk marinade on each side. Place into a hot grill or grill pan and turn heat down to medium. After 2 minutes (should be brown) turn over and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until fish is cooked through.





For some strange reason I took the marinade part to mean, well I happen to look on the back of the Jerk seasoning bottle & noticed that the ingredients where the same as the recipe. In short, I put the jerk seasoning on the fish & grilled it & put the evoo(EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL) on the grill so it wouldn't stick. Also steamed some veggies...... It turned out (ok), NOT GREAT!!!!! wife & kids say it was really good but I think they're just being nice. Oh wellI'll get it next time for sure. By the way the dish I made didn't look anything like the picture you see.

Rush Hour 3

It's about time, its been 6 years that we've had to wait on Rush Hour 3 which opens in France next weekend & was also filmed there as well. Of course we in the USA will have to wait until August 8, 2007. (Waiting will be hard), hopefully I can pirate it off the net. Tony Jaa turned down a part in this movie due to schedule conflicts, which had he took the part would have taken this movie to another level. I'm sure though that Chris Tucker & Jackie Chan do the job very well. There's also a newer actress Zhang Jingchu Peacock, not really sure if shes a villain or not but it's good to see new & different actors & actresses. Oh well if I can't find it on the net, I'll just have to wait. Happy waiting!!!

Eating Right !

My family & I have finally decided to start eating right for the sake of loosing weight & being as healthy as possible. We're startng by grilling or steaming our foods & eating alot more veggies. By the way if anyone has recipes for grilling or steaming, send them to me. Heres a dish we made last week.

Steamed Salmon & Safron Rice very good and healthy!
