THAT SATURDAY RUN!

20, 30 years ago, it was a standard run to Negril, while out for errands and shopping on a Saturday, when we would drive all the way out to Silver Spring, MD to pick up some JAMAICAN BEEF PATTIES!

Baby Girl has kept my imagination pretty busy with some truly nostalgic home cooking! We like, and so I made, both chicken and beef, and spicy, too! DELICIOUS! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom

BLACK CASTLE HAMBURGERS

JUMP IN MY RIDE! IT’S FRIDAY NIGHT!

HOME-MADE VEGGED UP BLACK CASTLE HAMBURGERS for My Baby Girl, who merely asked for burgers, and you know me, here I go! And, now, um gon take y’all back:

It’s Friday, school’s out, hot summer night in the city. Grannie (errbody called her Cissy back then), after hanging out late night at the after hour, yes, drunk and hungry, swings by the house in her little VW Karmann Ghia and all of us kids, fortunate enough to be sitting on the front porch in that moment in time, all jump up, run and literally squeeze into that cool little car, when Cissy yells, “Um going to White Castle!!!”

OMG, we devoured those little square burgers, hot off the grill - 2, 4, 6 at a time. You can imagine the fumes - summer-in-the-city sweaty and sardined in the back seat of that tiny hot yellow getaway car and we greased right there in the parking lot, until...the farting began... LOL “Eeeuuuwwh, oh, who farted!” Stuffed bellies big-o-laughter memories!

What a treat it was back then on a Friday late Summer night. I’d share these memories with my daughter; so, when she said, “Momi, can we have burgers!” Well, it took me back!

MY NOSTALGIC VEGGED UP version - #HospiTalent Mariby Corpening’s BLACK CASTLE HAMBURGERS - And get this, us grown folks can appreciate that I added equals parts of ROASTED VEGETABLES to my seasoned ground beef mix and baked one big baking sheet pan-size with, of course, the infamous abundance of chopped onions and finished off with cheese, ketchup, pickle, mustard, all on a soft hot-steamed bun and OMG! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom

OH, YOU WANT TO DO THIS FOR YOUR FAMILY! What memories are made of!

SHRIMP EGG FOO YUNG FOR BREAKFAST

Mariby Corpening's Egg Foo Young For Breakfast.jpg

Hmmm? What to do with that extra Shrimp or last night’s vegetables - for breakfast?

As a kid, a rare treat, I loved EGG FOO YUNG, essentially a Chinese style omelette, which we are accustomed to being served with white rice and gravy as dinner/takeout at a Chinese restaurant.

But what you may not have considered is EGG FOO YUNG for BREAKFAST (without gravy or rice), then what you have is a VERY flavorful, healthy, my favorite - SHRIMP EGG FOO YUNG of fresh sautéed julienne-cut vegetables - cabbage (I had on hand some brussel sprouts), bean sprouts, spring onions, carrots, mushrooms, sweet and hot peppers with or without a meat (pork, beef, shrimp) you might have on hand and with that caramelized crust! WOW!

OMG! The BEST EGG OMELETTE I’VE EVER HAD! DELICIOUS! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom

One of her favorites MAC & CHEESE! #ThingsThatMakeYouGoOom
