Like any island man, I have enjoyed making and eating codfish fritters. I like to hear them crackling in the frying pan, making sure they're crispy with a golden crust. Every time I make them the recipe evolves. Today I added a scotch bonnet pepper to the blended ingredients of green peppers, garlic cloves, cilantro, thyme and onions. The spicy sweet sriracha sauce was made with mayonnaise, sriracha, honey and crushed red peppers. Codfish fritters can be filling but they're usually not the main dish, more of an appetizer. Tasty and delicious is the only way to describe them. If you're interested in my recipe click here.
Enjoy and be safe ...

We headed to a birthday dinner for our cousin Miranda in Staten Island on Saturday. Dinner was prepared by cousin Chef Wyatte of Pop-up Kitchen. We loved the appetizer presentation of his delicious fried shrimp seen in the photo above. Miranda had a great time celebrating her birthday with family and friends. Hope you had a good one, here are a few photos from the event...
We just got back from our road trip to visit my mom in Lexington, Kentucky. We had a great time on the road for about 10 hours with snacks, coffee, music, and Ale-8 soft drinks. While visiting, mom told us family stories, we went through a bag of old photos and I had some of mom's curry goat stew, I almost lost my friggin' mind, lol. Love you Mom! Wild Eggs.

It couldn't be easier. A great way to cook jerk wings has become my new favorite. Trust me, air fried jerk wings are just as delicious as the traditional ways of cooking them. I'll admit that I was skeptical at first, jerk wings or chicken are traditionally cooked on a grill or smoker. Air frying should at least be in the top 5 ways of cooking wings. I will share with you my jerk wings recipe on my next blog post, here is how I air fried the jerk wings...
Enjoy! ..don't forget to like and leave a comment below when you can.
What were you up to this weekend? I took my car for an oil change, came back and got a flat tire, lol. Besides that, I spent some good moments with my valentine, Asenath. We danced in the kitchen to our favorite songs while making dinner. Valentine's Dinner.
Fried jerk sea bass with rice and peas Happy New Year!!!! and hope you had a great holiday. “This is goooood”, ...one of the compliments I get from someone when I cook oxtail stew for dinner. I’m not sure if it’s directed to me or the oxtail stew, lol. Although I’ve made oxtail many times before, this time I added ingredients like ginger, basil, cilantro to my usual blended ingredients and herbs (thyme, onion, green pepper, red pepper, parsley, pimento) and a scotch bonnet pepper to the pot while the oxtail is cooking. Oxtail takes a long time to cook, about 4 hours, so plan accordingly and add water to your pot when needed. There’s no official recipe for my oxtail stew and I'm not a chef, lol. OXTAIL STEW Feel free to serve with rice and peas, collard greens or sautéed cabbage. Serves 4. 3 1/2 pounds of oxtail in lime and vinegar water, wash oxtail thoroughly then drain water. Add seasoning to the oxtail (1 1/2 teaspoons each garlic salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, basil) along with 1/2 cup each chopped ingredients (onion, green pepper, red pepper) and 2 stems thyme. Then add your recaito mix of blended 1/2 green pepper, 1/2 red pepper, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh ginger, 2 stem thyme, 5 pimento seeds, 2 stem cilantro, 2 stem parsley, 3 garlic cloves. Add the secret ingredients, 2 tablespoons ketchup and 1 tablespoon Gravy Master Browning. Next up: Put gloves on and mix everything together and place in the refrigerator overnight or 1 hour if you're cooking the same day. In a large nonstick pot over high heat, add a little olive oil then oxtail and cook, stirring, for about 2 to 3 minutes, until they are dark browned.
Lower heat to medium, add 3 cups of water and 1 whole scotch bonnet pepper, cook for 4 to 4 1/2 hours, adding water when needed. P.S. Leave a comment below about how you make your oxtail stew. Stay healthy and be safe. How did you celebrate your holidays this year? We were home for the holidays, playing games, eating and watching movies. I would like to thank you for stopping by and reading my posts this year and hope you continue to do so. This year has been challenging for all of us and your support and thoughtful comments means so much to me and my family. Here are some of my favorite holiday moments... CHRISTMAS DINNER: Spinach Parmesan Stuffed Salmon with garlic sour cream mashed potatoes and shrimp herb stuffing 😋 Asenath's BUTTERY POUND CAKE 😋 Playing GUESSTURES: I think he's an opera singer?, a heart attack? ..,he's dead..? lol 😂 We went to Virginia beach last week for a little adventure and to celebrate Asenath's birthday. AJ and Ailah didn't go with us, they're both in college studying hard, I think, lol. Here are our favorite moments... Sunnyside Café and Restaurant. Start off your visit to Virginia Beach with breakfast at Sunnyside Café and Restaurant, a cozy café about a 2 minute drive from the hotel. Excellent menu and service, with amazing coffee. I ordered their veggie omelet with home fries and Asenath had a pecan waffle. King Neptune. After tropical storm Sally we ventured out to the boardwalk to check out the King Neptune statue. King Neptune is a large bronze statue sculpted by Paul DiPasquale - completed in 2005. A figure of Neptune design, 24/34 feet tall with a 12 foot tall rock base surrounded by various fish, dolphins, lobster, and octopuses. Virginia Aquarium. Where to hang on a rainy day? The Aquarium, about a 5 minute drive from our hotel. An experience we will never forget - animal habitats, interactive exhibits, education stations and shopping. A morning walk along the Boardwalk. Rhythm Bar & Grill. An unexpected treat to our visit, Rhythm Bar & Grill, 1424 Atlantic Ave, Virginia Beach, VA. I ordered a side of jerk chicken and coleslaw, the meat literally fell off the bone. I couldn't eat all of it, but trust me, I tried.
