Daily Musings Of My Life - Monster Jam 2015

Earlier this month,we took the boys to Monster Jam! Aiden had an AMAZING time but it took Kyle sometime to warm up to the event. We ended up having to get him ear muffs (highly recommend) and that's when he began to enjoy himself. Food was very
overpriced (chicken fingers and french fries) and didn't taste that great. If you decide to take your kids make sure you carry a snack and a water to avoid over paying for  food. Surprisingly the beer (Heineken) was delish! It was very loud, the trucks were pretty intimidating but the drivers were the coolest  and your kids will love it!

Fried Chicken! Oven Fried & Traditional

22:36 Unknown 0 Comments



The easiest, yummiest, fried chicken you'll ever eat. All the ingredients are pretty basic and you can fry these traditionally (on the stove) or in the oven.



INGREDIENTS

Chicken leg quarters
Flour
Salt
Black Pepper
Paprika
Complete Seasoning
Sazon
Vegetable Oil or Butter

METHOD

Wash and clean your chicken.
Season with pepper, paprika, complete seasoning, and sazon.
Let your chicken marinade for at least 30 mins.
In a separate container add flour, salt, pepper, paprika.
Coat chicken in flour mixture piece by piece.

FOR TRADITIONAL

In a heavy skillet, add oi. Enough so that when you add your chicken it covers it only half way.
Do not over crowd your pan. I usually do three pieces at a time. 
Cook each side 10 mins at a time.
Serve.

FOR OVEN FRIED

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
In a large metallic baking pan add 2 table spoons of butter and then let it melt in the oven.
Place each piece of chicken in the pan and then back in the oven for 30 minutes and then turn for an additional 30 mins on the other side.
Serve.

Ackee and Saltfish

10:20 Unknown 0 Comments


This morning I made ackee and saltfish for my family for like the hundredth time for breakfast and then I noticed that I never shared how I make it. I don't add too many things that will alter the "true" taste of the food. 


INGREDIENTS
1 Can of ackee (if you get fresh ackee from a tree, clean it properly and boil it until soft) 
1 package of saltfish
1/2 of a tomato
1/2 of an onion
2 stalks of scallion
black pepper
(garlic powder is optional - a lot of people love it but I hate it) 
1/4 tsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp stick butter  

METHOD
Soak your saltfish from over night and boil it once in the morning. If you're reading this right now and want to make it right now, wash off the excess salt and boil it twice. 
throw the water off and set aside to cool. 
Heat your pan and oil set your stove to 4 or medium
Add onions & scallions let them cook for about a minute (do not burn) 
Break up the saltfish into pieces with your fingers and add them to your pot
After a couple minutes of stirring, add your ackee
Stir and try not to crush the ackee out too much 
Add black pepper, stir some more, drop in your butter, turn your stove to 2 (low) and cover with lid until butter is completely melted

Serve right away with boiled dumplings, green bananas, plantains, white rice, fried dumplings, even bread! Enjoy.
