Burritos by Puppy

So i was was given a nice surprise of three consecutive days off maybe they saw how hard i am working or that next weekend just gonna be mad rush for our delish cuisine , what ever it be i am grateful. So i took the liberty of one of my off days to visit a good friend and pallywal Puppy. We did the usual catching up yada yada and stuff but the main event of the evening was when he exited himself to go to where no puppy has gone before lolol the kitchen. to my surprise this dude that is a stranger to these part whipped up a very hearty and healthy Burrito. To conjure up what i thought of it all i can say is wrap works better look out . The ingredients ii it were fresh and had that balance of sweetness and flavor from which i expect from anything i put into my mouth the mince beef had a savory nice moist texture while the lightly stir fried cabbage was not soft nor was it to hard and o my my fave ingredient the corn was sweet and tender just the way i like it and i must say i didn't get the rice but it worked like a charm.one down fall though i like my burrito skins lightly roasted for at least 2 mins these where not making them slightly chewy and not getting the original taste from them yea i know that was a rave review for a burrito but u gotta give props where props are due So congrats to u puppy for finding your way into the kitchen. keep up the good work

Give Thanks on the foreign holiday

So Thanksgiving is upon us, yes I know, I'm a tad bit late. I know this isn't a holiday that most Trini's celebrate, but as of many other habits we imported from our friends in the United States. Mind you, it doesn't have any meaning to us, I personally don't follow it because I give thanks daily to the dude above for my life and riches (which are soon to come).

I thought this to be the time perfect to post about the new stuff I'm learning in the kitchen. So we made a delicious turkey stuff with a sweetbread stuffing and topped it with my first taste of strawberry sauce that wasn't use on ice cream (Interesting flavor that you need to try).

I must say that before today I wasn't much of a turkey fan, mainly because the ones I ate were dry and not that well baked. But boy oh boy!! was this ever so moist and delicious (drool). For those of us who cant afford the whole turkey, you can always buy the breast which is way sufficient to serve about 4.

So its d day after divali and we all are full to the brim with curry and Indian delicacies. Well except me of course, reasons being I simply don't really do the house to house curry paranging. So I opted to stay at home and wait for mama chefaholic to bust a curry pot , well if curry was oxygen I'll be dead already cause up to now I can't get any curry. Sigh!!! What a waste of a good holiday. So the highlight of my divali night was my midnight run for punch and doubles turned into beef burgers
