Let’s roll..
Ahhh… my first post on my own website.. Friggin’ SWEET. *cracks knuckles*
It’s 7:41am on Wednesday, March 11th 2009, and the 86 degree weather has been faced by the northerly cold front, giving Austin what will likely be its last frigid blast before spring fully sets in. And in this rare occurrence that I’m actually awake to see morning, the sunrise, hear the quiet streets coming to life, and all those other things I “miss,” according to my chirpy early-bird mother, I am actually taking a moment to breathe. I’ve been busy. It’s really amazing how much work you can get done when you’ve made Shameless Self-Promotion/Preservation your job. Sure, Jrm Says is just a cooking show, and a short simple (for now) one at that, but if you know me, you know that it only scratches the surface of my abilities and passion. So, with that thought in mind, I’ve been working on a way to get The Message to the people on a much more intimate and local scale.. I’ll not say much more while I spend the next few weeks buried in paperwork and revisiting my days coaxing fussy recipes into something more sexy, economical, and portable..
For the time being, I’ve finally got a scrap to throw to my fellow carnivores in Episode IV where I serve up marinated skirt steak fajita with a chipotle aioli, tomato cucumber avocado salad, and a Tex-Asian slaw. Everyone’s feeling the pinch these days and cutting costs, but that’s no reason to deny yourself the good things in life.. like steak. And avocados.
4-6 tacos
6-8 servings each of slaw and tom/avo salad
total food cost: $8.00
total preparation time: 20mins
Episode V filming this weekend. Hint: lots of girls, and lots of food being rubbed on them..
Be Good.
