taco truck

I tried loading up on vitamin C.  I tried sipping, slurping & chugging my lemon ginger tea.  I tried talking myself out of it.

But nothing worked.  I got the sniffles and the swollen lymph node thingies, then I got the cough and spent 14 hours in bed.  Sigh.... I got sick.

First I cut my thumb off.  Now I'm feeling like I got run over by a truck.  I'm destined to never cook a meal again... OK, maybe not never.  But definitely not today.

Instead, I've settled for sharing with you my new favorite spice mixture and how I came to love it.

short ribs worth dying for


In my last post, I gave you a preview of some recipes I promised to share with you in the new year.  I saved my favorite for last in that post, but I've since decided that it would be in your best interest to have the recipe immediately.  I won't be offended if you skim or even skip entirely the relative BS that follows in order to get cooking that much faster.  My words aren't nearly as good as the food they describe.

I feel like I can't just start this by telling you about the short ribs (I told you there was some BS on the way). There's more to the story than that, so I guess I'll start from the beginning.

You see, the short ribs were born from my investment in a new piece of cookware.  Yes, I said new.  As in shiny, unused, fresh-from-the-box, new.  Brand spankin', if you will.  For those of you wondering what the big deal is, I'll give you some insight.  I'm a Goodwill Girl.  A solid 90% of the money I spend, outside of the supermarket, goes to second hand stores. Clothes, books, movies, cookware... most of it comes from thrift stores. I should own stock in Value Village.
