I'm going to go ahead and throw out an apology for the lack of posting. I'm on a critical care rotation and Jake is doing cardiology. They're both very demanding. I leave the house around 6:30am and I usually don't get home til about 10pm. Jake's schedule is very similar. There isn't much cooking going on these days. Look for a return to life at the end of this month when I get a break.

Grilled chicken with Salad


Typing this as it cooks. Really, really easy.

Tossed some chicken breasts in with oil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, lemon and lime, and marinated all day. The idea was a moist Italian-like chicken. And then I thought. It happens at times. 20 minutes prior to grilling, I let the chicken hit RT [room temperature] and just a jerk dry rub on it. I went with this because the lemons and limes were making me think Island Flavor. Easy jerk: white and black pepper, berbere [spelled wrong of course (editor's note: spelled correctly, now). (berbere is an) Ethiopian spice. Longer heat, doesn't hit as hard. We are fans.], salt, sugar, and cayanne. A la the Jerk Pineapple Pork [recipe another day.... and damn this is good. Seriously]. Rub down the breasts and rest for a few. Grill. [As they are doing now].

Salad... hydrate and clean the leaves. Toss dry. Mix in with carrots, olives, and mandarin oranges. Should go well together.... dressing is oil, balsamic, salt, pepper, mustard.

Enjoy. As we are about to.
