Jamie's Dinners



My apologies for not posting lately.  Business is picking up in the Denver area and I have had to focus a lot of time to MOD, Inc.  Gotta pay the bills you know.

A long lost relative has returned (or so it feels).  You see, my bohemian brother-in-law and his equally bohemian wife (some of the sweetest people you will meet) borrowed my copy of Jamie's Dinners by Jamie Oliver (sshh, don't tell the kids - he is known as the naked chef.  You will have to find out why for your self) from me about 100 years ago.  O.K. it was only about 6 months ago.  Since they live in Juarez, Mexico (you say JUAREZ?  Click here and you will see why) it was a bit difficult to get it back to Colorado (just short of hiring the CIA to get it back here).  So, they were here last week and returned my beloved copy.  Never mind that they were here for Christmas and could possibly have smuggled it across the border for me.  I must say that after I got it back there was some mild caressing involved.

This is the most worn, stained cookbook in my collection.  I know, I know, it would behoove me to say that it is my Culinary Institute of America text book or my French Laundry cookbook or even something by Gordon Ramsay. No, this is the go to book.  It is full of meals that are easy to prepare, taste like it was prepared by a trained chef and presents absolutely beautiful.

So, go to the bookstore, or Amazon or where ever and pick up a copy today. It is very high on my recommended read list.

You are hilarious... imagining the secret caressing, or wait, were you serious? I must say, Jamie served us well in Juarez, thank you for your sacrificial lending of his services. But we are only returning his love in exchange for some equally delectable recipe love which is still to be collected. We can only enjoy so much delicious discada before our stomachs begin a health-bound revolt!

stomach lovin,
