That’s a wrap

Some of the best foods come in wraps. We typically call them burritos, but don’t limit your thoughts to merely Mexican food.
Although that is my favorite one-handed grab-and-go meal; tangy and spicy beef, chicken or bean (or a combo with all three) beautifully wrapped in a flour tortilla, a perfectly bundled package of yumminess.

But the wonderful thing about a burrito is that you can turn just about anything into one. It’s all about the wrap.
Whether it’s a flour, wheat, spinach or corn tortilla, once you place food in the middle and fold, you’ve got a burrito.
There are hundreds of possibilities. I love making scrambled eggs with spinach, hash brown potatoes and crispy bacon for breakfast. You lightly heat the tortilla on a flat skillet, fill with all the breakfast goodies, fold and eat.

Lightly heat a tortilla on one side. Once warm turn to heat the other side while sprinkling the top with a little cinnamon and sugar. Remove the tortilla from the heat. Add sliced pieces of pre-cooked pancake, top with a smidge of syrup and fold.
Completely scrumptious!

Instead of a boring Ceasar salad on a plate, place sprigs of Romaine lettuce sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and cooked chicken in the middle of a spinach tortilla. Top the salad with your favorite dressing and fold.
Healthy, quick and delicious.

Barbecue pulled pork, topped with creamy coleslaw wrapped in a corn tortilla and then grilled in a flat pan until lightly brown is far better than having the pork on a bun.

Cook a hamburger patty. Once done chop it into small chunks. Place the meat on a flour tortilla, top with lots of cooked bacon and cheddar cheese. Fold the tortilla tightly and deep fry until the tortilla is crispy and light brown.
Best burrito-berg ever!

Cut your favorite candy bar in half (lengthwise). Freeze the candy overnight. Wrap each half in a tortilla. Drop it in a deep fryer for a bit. Place it on the plate and sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar (powdered sugar works good too) for the best dessert burrito.
I could probably turn any meal into a burrito. Especially if I have to eat on the run. The secret is keeping all the good stuff inside the tortilla.

I like to make sure the ends are properly tucked and folded preventing any spills.
With your tortilla stuffed with goodies, place your hands at the 3 and 9 position (like o’clock) of the tortilla and fold them toward the center. Fold the tortilla over the fillings and tuck as much food under the filling as possible. Before making the final fold, tuck each corner toward the center one more time. Finish rolling the tortilla toward the end.

Done right all the good stuff stays inside.

Eating should be an enjoyable experience. Go ahead and play with your food. Experiment and explore your taste buds.
I’m heading into the kitchen now. Going to take my leftover mac-and-cheese, top it with bacon. Wrap it up and fry it for lunch.

Tomato Patch Murder: Crowder up for parole review

Crowder’s file up for parole review Long County case became infamously known as Tomato Patch Murders Patty Leon After serving 14 years of a life sentence Billy Crowder has become eligible and is currently under review by the Georgia Department of Pardon and Paroles Board. Crowder garnered unwanted notoriety during his murder trial held in the summer of 1998 in Long County Superior Court. He, his family and his friend Jason Jordan stood accused of a heinous crime against his grandfather, Thurman Martin. The trial and subsequent series of events placed the small community of Ludowici on the map as events unfolded on the local news and later became a national sensation when a documentary about the family, murder and trial aired on A&E, Court TV and even 20/20. The story involved the alleged abuse of an entire family, a murder and a cover-up; all culminating to Crowder’s verdict and what even some of the jurors called a miscarriage of justice in the sentencing.

Stories about Florida Man part 1

  There is always something funny or unusual coming out of my home state of Florida. Just the other day, a “Florida Man,” washed ashore in Flagler County after he encountered some problems while trying to, “run to the Northern US or Bermuda,” on what appeared to be a giant floating hamster wheel. The man, Reza Baluci, said he was raising money to help the homeless, and raise funds for police and fire departments and the Coast Guard. Turns out that guy has his own You Tube Page and website: https://www.runwithreza.org/ It’s a great website to visit when you want to start going down a Florida Man rabbit hole. Seems to me this guy has done more for his fellow humans, with his feet firmly panted here on Earth or in the water, than billionaire Jezz Bezos has done.  But seriously there have been some truly weird headline throughout the years, some too funny to be believable, others too horrifying, yet true. One of the first headlines I can recall was back in 2012: Florida Man chews off anoth
