Tonic Dinner for Coach Prime

-


Deion Sanders ‘Coach Prime’ needs some tonic food this Sunday, after the Oregon ‘butt-kicking.’ His ride or die doesn’t cook. Nothing personal, she just doesn’t do pots and pans and we heard it from the horse’s mouth, not the grapevine. Is that a song? I just forgot the singer.

She will probably make an exception today and cook for her man. All she needs is:

- White cornmeal for hard grits

- frozen peas (defrost first)

- I envy you if you have peas in the backyard

- Red apples

- Red bell peppers

- Onions

- Tomatoes

- Olive oil

HARD GRITS

1. Mama taught us how to cook morning and hard grits.

2. As you know, morning grits is essentially porridge, served with milk.

3. Hard grits is more solid therefore, boil two cups of water.

4. Add little salt, pour 2 cups of cornmeal.

5. Let it boil for two minutes then stir with your wooden spoon.

6. Reduce heat to low, cook for 5m and stir.

7. Repeat three times and taste.

8. If you can still feel the cornmeal, it’s not ready.

9. Should be ready after 15m.

APPLE CURRY

- Cook onion, tomatoes in olive oil for 6m

- Add half teaspoon of Jamaican jerk sauce, or you fav dangerous sauce

- Add peas and cook for 5m

- Add red peppers and apples

- Cook for 5m (I like veggies crunchy, cook longer if you prefer them soft)

SERVING

Darling the tonic dinner is ready. My bad. I don’t think Coach Prime’s ride or die calls him darling. It’s none of my business as long she doesn’t call them ‘boo.’ It is scary like Halloween. Why not give the man a bonus, lamb chops grilled in low fat margarine for 6m max or grilled chicken?

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
