Love the meat, and other food thoughts

As a food aficianado, I am always seeking new stuff to try...be it food, or drink, of course. In any sense, on trip last winter to South Africa I fell in love with my wife's family, jk. I actually fell in love with two different South African meat products - biltong and droewers. I found out that these If you love beef jerky, you will love these 2 things...if you don't love beef jerky, but have a sincere and dying appreciation for all things meat, then well, you need to try these 2 products. Thanks to the decent amount of South Africans in Dallas, I have been able to find a local place to buy. However, I encourage all to give it a shot. I would endorse some online places to buy, but unfortunately I have never purchased online. Sorry, no endorsements today.

Importantly, if you are a steak, or meat lover, I would expect you to own a t-shirt that proudly expresses your beliefs. I was given this for christmas and wear it to display my affections. Booya!

Back to the food. Ask my gorgeous wife. Last night was mango chicken and potatoes. Hmm Hmm, good.

The latest conquest in my gourmet food searches is Milo. This great chocolate drink comes in an energy drink can and is amazing. I hate energy drinks personally, thanks to a past rocky relationship with red bull, but this blows yoo hoo out of the water - and yoo hoo is a cooler brand!.

So what have we learned today?
1. Find a local store and buy some biltong and droewers
2. Express your love for meat, chicken included...with a dash of mango and some soy sauce.
3. Try a new beverage today. I would recommended Dr Pepper Berries and Cream or some really cold Hawaiian Punch. Stay away from Coke and Pepsi, thats garbage.
4. Learn how to cook. Thanks to my greek friend connections my wife buys my act. But women need a man that knows how to prepare the meat right.

Might want to check that link for the shirt... it doesn't work.

Speaking of meat, a couple nights ago I had wok-seared lamb. It was tasty.
