Six-Course Meal on the L Train??
a razor, a shiny knife:
Dining Car of the Day: On May 1st, members of several supper clubs descended on a Brooklyn-bound L to host a six-course fine dining experience for a number of NYC subway patrons

How crazy is this? Only in NY!

Frozen Goodies
Don't sleep on the frozen food section. When you're too busy to cook a huge dinner, keep backup in your freezer ;). I made some Teriyaki Chicken that was bought from BJ's. The chicken is already cooked and literally took 10-15 minutes. Not bad at all!
In the box are two packs of chicken and two packets of Teriyaki sauce. I find that only one packet of sauce is good for both packs of chicken.
I added string beans and carrots to complete the meal.
Dinner is ready in about 20 minutes including rice. Go get you some box chicken! YUM!

CINCO DE MAYO!
Where can you find 2 for 1 Coronas and FREE food?? BROOKLYN!! Yeaaahh buddy!
People's Republic of Brooklyn offered pulled pork tacos, salmon quesadillas, BBQ chicken tacos and nachos for free until they run out and 2 for 1 Coronas all night. Perfect for Cinco De Mayo celebrations.
SALUD! Great times with the girlies :)
The bar has a New Orleans style menu.
These were really good and spicy too.
We also ordered wings - half Jerk and half Buffalo. These aren't apart of the freebies, but were so worth it! The Jerk passed my standards and the Buffalo was just hot enough. Finger licking good!
Check em out: People's Republic of Brooklyn 247 Smith St, Brooklyn
Where Brooklyn At?
FYI: People from Brooklyn always find a way to plug Brooklyn into a convo and big up the borough lol. It's a BROOKLYN thang!

Tacos!
I went to Lucy's on West 34th st on the corner of 8th Ave (New York) with a really good friend of mine a few nights ago. I had skirt steak tacos and she had the fried market fish tacos. All the tacos are soft corn tortilla. The steak wasn't that great, really bland tasting :(. I had a bite of the fish taco which was pretty good. It came with mango salsa sauce. Nice touch! Anything mango has my vote! I've been here a few times before. Really casually after work hang out or quick lunch. Do not bring a date here unless you've been seeing each other for a while and you're not trying to impress them!

What's Cooking in the Kitchen...
CURRIED SHRIMP!
Here's step by step of how I got to the finished product.
The shrimp was frozen and already cooked. I thawed it overnight and seasoned it a few hours before I actually cooked it. I added some chickpeas. You can also add potatoes, but I was lazy to cut them up lol.
Seasoning included:
Adobo
Garlic Powder
Black Pepper
Garlic & Herb Seasoning
Curry Powder
Shrimp Seasoning (Maggi)
Chopped Garlic & Onions
Sorry for the poor picture quality, my camera battery died :( and had to use my phone.
I then removed the chickpeas from the pan, then began to cook the shrimp and added a little scotch bonnet pepper (can find in any West Indian grocery) and hot sauce (from Trinidad, can't buy in stores sorry!). If it ain't spicy it ain't right!

I prepared the chickpeas first with a little olive oil or butter, whichever you prefer. I added some chopped onion and garlic that I had cut up for the shrimp then added the chickpeas with some curry powder.
I then removed the chickpeas from the pan, then began to cook the shrimp and added a little scotch bonnet pepper (can find in any West Indian grocery) and hot sauce (from Trinidad, can't buy in stores sorry!). If it ain't spicy it ain't right!
After the shrimp was ready, I added back the chickpeas.
I left the stove on too high and dry out my damn gravy lol. Still taste good though!
I also made some broccoli and white rice.
POW! You know you want some ;)
