Aftermath of the Oxtail Incident - Part 1

Monday Morning.  It's been an agonizing night.  My cracked tooth has kept me up most of the night.  Popping Advil is no longer a viable option.  Time to go to the dentist.  I hate going to the dentist!!  A visit to the dentist is never fun.  A dentist appointment in your calendar never has a smiley face next to it.  You never brag to your friends about your upcoming dentist visit!  Ok, so I'm a little stressed but I have to get this taken care of.  I'm off to culinary school in less than two weeks and can't afford to be distracted by a broken tooth.  Which dentist do I go to?  I haven't been to a dentist in over 2 years.

The Oxtail Incident

I love Oxtail!!!  If cooked right,  the meat is tender and juicy, the sauce is rich and flavorful and the bones are suckable.  Pair it with a large helping of Rice n' Beans and you have some of the best comfort food available to man.  The down side is that Oxtail and Rice 'n Beans have to be some of the most unhealthy foods on the planet.  Lots of fat, plenty of gravy and rice cooked in coconut milk.  This means that in order to prevent myself from getting the nickname "Fat Bastard" I can only have this as a rare treat.
