  3. Here's a picture of me and a friend 10hrs after desert shield turn to desert storm finishing triage on Iraqi soldiers, 15th Evacuation Hospital-18th Airborne Corp! Some of you might recognize the name of the hospital as the place where General Patton slapped that soldier suffering from what we now know as PTSD! Garvin- I'm the short one
  4. If you are going to open a restaurant in NYC where rent can be as high as 40,000 a month in Manhattan your food has to be up to stuff, even in Brooklyn rent can 20,000 a month!
  5. Wasn't sure where to place this because it can be a side, technique, or consider poultry because of the eggs if someone thinks that it should be placed in another section feel free to do so! African-Style Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce Servings: 4-5 INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 medium onion, diced 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon turmeric 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon cumin 2 tablespoons harissa paste 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 14-ounce cans of diced tomatoes 5 large eggs Chopped parsley, to serve Bread, to serve PREPARATION In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions, cooking until the onions are translucent and the garlic is starting to slightly brown. Add the spices and harissa paste, cooking the spices until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened to the point where pressing down with a spoon leaves an indent that holds its shape. Taking the back of a large spoon, make 5 large indents into the sauce, using a left-to-right wiggling motion to ensure that the “walls” of the sauce are tall enough to hold an egg. Crack the eggs into each of the indents, then cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking. To speed the process up, cover the skillet with a large lid. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, remove from heat, and serve with crusty bread to mop up all the sauce Garvin Enjoy!
  6. Here is what you'll need! Cheesy Chicken Parmesan–Stuffed Rolls Servings: 24 INGREDIENTS 24 dinner rolls 6 cloves minced garlic 1 onion chopped 1 tablespoon oregano 1 tablespoon basil ½ teaspoon chili flakes ¼ teaspoon pepper ½ teaspoon salt 3 cups marinara sauce 1 pound shredded rotisserie/cooked chicken 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese 1 pound fresh mozzarella, sliced PREPARATION Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C. Carve out a deep hole in the center of the dinner rolls. Press down the bottom of the bun to create a denser bottom layer. Add olive oil, onion, and garlic to a skillet and cook for about 20 minutes or until caramelized and softened. Add the oregano, basil, chili flakes, pepper, salt, marinara, chicken, and parmesan cheese. Cook until well combined, reduced, thick, and heated through. Put one thin slice of fresh mozzarella at the bottom of the dinner roll hole, fill with approximately ¼ cup of the chicken parmesan mixture, and top with another slice of mozzarella cheese. Bake rolls for 15 minutes or until the bread has darkened a little, the chicken mixture is bubbling, and the cheese melts. Let cool slightly, sprinkle with chopped fresh basil, and serve. Enjoy!
