• Chicken Fried Rice...mmmm, guurl!

This is an easy classic that is cheap and quite filling.  It is not the healthiest for you, but then again, you're not in the-slim-gay's blog, now are you?!

1 pint cooked white rice
red pepper oil
1 chicken breast
1/2 onion
1 egg
italian seasoning
soy sauce
pepper
1 clove of garlic

In a pan heat red pepper oil.  Fry up chicken pieces until almost cooked through.  Add the onion and the minced garlic.  Cook onion until golden or until it starts to carmelize.  Add the cooked white rice.  Fry this for a minute or two.  Then add 1 tablspoon of soy sauce, italian seasoning and pepper.  Use about 1 teaspoon of italian seasoning.  Pepper to taste.  Let simmer.  Add another tablespoon of soy sauce and pile in one side of the pan.  Crack the egg on the other half and cook to scramble.  Mix all together and enjoy!

• BLT minus the T, Macaroni and Cheese.

My sister made this the other day and it was gooooood!  The only tip I have for you is to measure the water.  Seriously, measure the water!

5 cups of water
4 oz of Mozzarella Cheese (grated)
11/2 oz of Parmasean Cheese (fresh and grated if available)
1 package of Pasta Shells (1 lb)
1 package of Leaks (4-5 stems if not pre-packaged)
1 lb of bacon
salt/pepper
Red Pepper Flakes

Bring 5 cups of water to a boil in large pot.  While water is doing it's thang, cook up the bacon in a frying pan while whistling Lady Gaga, the song is up to you!  Crispy bacon may not be the best in this situation.  Leave it a smidge on the droopy side.  Add pasta shells to boiling water and let cook for 10-15 minutes, or until your liking of the noodle firmness.  Personally I like my noodles a bit limp. ;)  Stir on occation.  Once the pasta is to your liking, bring water down to medium heat.  Add the red pepper flakes, Mozzarella and Parmasean cheeses.  Let simmer for another 10 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted into the water and become smooth.  Mix that stank around.  Add the Leaks and bacon to the pot along with the salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat.  Remember, bacon is very salty.  Use caution when shaking your salt shaker like a polariod picture, girl.  Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.  You may take the red pepper flakes out if you are a little bitch and can't take the heat!  I recommend adding cummin if you do. 1/2 a teaspoon would fragrant it nicely.
*Warning*
Please make sure you measure out the water-5cups-otherwise you will have a very drippy meal.  You want a chili consistency not soup.  NOT SOUP!  Although, it was still good soupy. 

• Brown sugar and Burbon steak.

The first time I had this mixture of taste together was at my uncle Marty's house about 5 years ago.  It was one of his anual gatherings of the "other" side of the family.  My mother's side has Christmas and Easter and birthdays, but my Father only has one brother, so we rarely see him.  When we do, he and his wife usually have an incredible spread laid out for our gullets to enjoy.  This occation was late Fall.  The grill was a good 110 degrees, the fat from memories past was siring off and creating little hydrogen bombs of skin and molecule explosions on the flame below.  With me in the refrigerator trying to figure out how to dispence ice from the elaborate machine keeping it hostage, my uncle pulled the marinated Filets out of their packaging.  I'm not a steak eater, by all means.  But this new smell that hit the innards of my ever so hairy nostrels awoke a new feeling in my stomach that in turn sprung a leak in my mouth.  The mixture is quite simple in it's presentation:

4 Petite Filet Minons
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup of your favorite Burbon
1/2 tblsp garlic
pinch of salt
4 grinds of fresh pepper
pinch of red pepper flakes

Marinate mixture in refrigerator in zip-lock bag over night, rotate over once halfway through the night.  Set grill to 110 degrees the day of cooking.  Take Filets out of the bag and sprinkle salt and pepper again, to taste.  Place on grill and cook to medium rare.

I have only had a few experiences in my life, with food, that have made me want to be a believer in a higher power...this was one of those times!
