Mmmmm...

Hey! I just finished dinner and I had to mention this. I know, most of you will read this around breakfast, and it ain't even gonna sound good but trust me. Reread it come dinner. Maybe it'll help you.

I grilled me a steak tonight, which isn't that original, but the flavor was really good. Why? because I marinaded the meat. I used one of those Lowery's 30 minute dealies (Caribbean Jerk), but then I added something a little extra. I added a few drops of Matouk's Calypso Sauce. It's kind of a mustardy-salsay hot sauce. Very good. VERY hot. I know, you're thinking "what does the little white boy know about hot sauce?"

Trust me, the little white boy was raised in the southwest with ancestry haling from creole country. White boy knows plenty. If only I could cook half as well as my Mom's family! But that's another story. I originally bought the Matouk's for my homemade BBQ sauce. It's one of the key ingredients. It's also good if you like to add stuff to your hamburger meat before cooking it up. If you're a purist, well then nevermind.

So try the steak if you get a chance. It's got lots of flavor, even if your cut of beef isn't that good. It's got a sweet and spicy taste that you won't get in a regular grocery store marinade. Sure the Lawry's isn't a TRUE jerk, but it's not bad.

Sigh...I swear, this recipe swapping thing has got to stop. It does nothing for my macho image. Next thing you know I'll be writing a blog and whining about my divorce.

Oh.
