Like most things that taste as good, it will kill you as soon as look at you. But we all gotta go sometime :)
Toooo true !
Braised lamb shanks. Served with parmesan garlic pasta...best part was digging out the marrow!

'Twas some delicious flaky meat. The liquid covered about halfway up the shanks, braised at 325 for an hour covered...flipped and another hour covered. I uncovered for another 15 - so 2 hours 15 minutes total. I may have left another 10 uncovered for a little more browning, but the pasta was done...
Homemade Tamales,pulled pork with roasted ancho peppers.Tomorrow I fry some in bacon grease, top with two eggs over easy:)

Couldn't agree with you more, Nightblade. My fiancée and I just bought our first house recently and then hosted my parents for the first time for Christmas and I did all the cooking. The gifts we exchanged were thoughtful, but few. What was far more appreciated by all four of us was the food, and I was more gratified by cooking good, memorable meals for my family (I roasted two 3 pound chickens, one with an ancho chili rub and one with a traditional rosemary-sage-thyme-garlic-lemon-pepper prep) than I was by giving them gifts. Very glad to hear that you and yours had a merry Christmas and that food played a part in that. :)
A simple, yet tasty, repast from last night: Black eyed peas with some sliced Jalapenos and cornbread.

4-6 tablespoons of soy sauce
1-3 teaspoons of vinegar (preferrably rice vinager)
1-3 teaspoons of sesame oil
4 cloves of garlic minced
2 teaspoons of ginger (I buy premashed from Kroger)
1-2 tablespoons of water to thin it out
1/8 cup of brown sugar
Then 1/8-1/4 cup of Splenda to taste... (To keep calories down can use sugar but use a lot less if you do... Some people use coca cola for sugar and the acid helps tenderize the meat) also some people use Bosc or Asian pears blended to mash for their sugar but my recipe is the quick and dirty way the pears makes it taste phenomenal..
Taste the marinade should be sweet... Will become less sweet as you cook
Rinse meat with water to get excess blood out as this will help taste and keep the meat softer then squeeze dry (optional)
Then marinade for 30min to two hours in the fridge. stirring every once in while to help marinade soak in... Overnight in the fridge is what my mom does...
Then pan fry or grill... I prefer pan fry for ease of use and also I can use the cooked marinade juice to spread over rice (mikes rice sooo good)... Cook until pieces cooked through the longer you cook the tougher the meat gets...
Serve with asian white rice (I will usually get extra from eating Chinese and use that if I'm feeling lazy) and can wrap in red lettuce leaves korean style... Hold leaf in hand put rice and some pieces of meat in leaf, wrap up and eat by hand..
Sorry my measurements aren't exact but I just make this by taste, feel, and look...
Enjoy!
Nice, looks good. Thanks
