Jerkin da Chicken

Ok well I have got my hands on some really good stuff right from the island they call Ja mai ca. It's a well blend of herbs, spices, and prob some native added ingredient that will probably cause me to reach for something soothing to the taste buds; as I assume they will be screaming.

I just tossed a bunch of chicken in a bag, and poured in the secret, and laid it to rest in the fridge.

The weather is here for grilling so I spent a good hour(s) today cleaning it up in hopes to christen it today.

Revenge on the Ribs

Today I was up against a mean of marinated 4 days in the fridge stack of ribs. I began the fight by staring them down with a determined demeanor, followed by a tight grip on both ends so they couldn't escape.

As the pain pierced into the tips of my fingers, the heat was nothing but a meaningless particle of dust flowing aimlessly in the air.

I never gave in to look in any other direction and went right for it. The fight was already lost by the ribs before it had even began.

After devouring the rack, I paraded my winning with a beer and no use of any paper towel to clean up the evidence of an easy one sided fight.

Here is how to pick a fight with one of your own:

SOUTHWESTERN-STYLE RUB:
50 ml (3 tablespoons) ground cumin, 50 ml (3 tablespoons) chili powder,
25 ml (2 tablespoons) oregano, 15 ml (1 tablespoon) garlic powder,
25 ml (2 tablespoons) ground black pepper, 15 ml (1 tablespoon) salt.

Place all ingredients in jar with tight-fitting lid, shake well to blend seasonings thoroughly. Store covered at room temperature. Makes about 175 ml ( 3/4 cup-enough to coat 2 slabs of pork back
