The Recipe
OMG! This sounds soooo delishhhh! Chunks of beef sirloin are marinated in a mixture of olive oil & red wine vinegar, and seasoned with garlic, paprika, & ground red pepper, then grilled. Let's do it!

Spicy Ottoman Kabobs

2 lbs. beef sirloin
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp cumin (roasted)
1 tsp. coarse salt
1 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Cut beef into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Combine all spices and vinegar in a food processor. Blend. SLOWLY add olive oil with blender running. Place meat in a sealable plastic bag with the marinade; squeeze excess air from bag. Place bag in refrigerator for 4 hours, turning once or twice. After 4 hours, remove meat and place on metal skewers, leaving a little space in between. Grill on medium heat about 12 minutes (allow 3 minutes for each of the four sides.) Remove to aluminum foil and wrap. Allow to cool 3-4 minutes before serving.

Notes: Best if done with 12-inch metal skewers. Serve with Kabob-roasted vegetables, including chunks of sweet peppers, onions, potatoes (white or sweet), summer squash, and mushrooms.

Buon appetito!

Thanks to the men and women who protect our country and our freedom by serving in our Armed Forces. Mighty Minds, we need to learn a few things first so we can really enjoy letters from two readers.

To understand where someone is writing from, we need to figure this out... SO means soup or South? MO means Missouri or Month? Lisa and her family and kitties live in SO CA... Thanks for liking my poem...I never had a letter from kitties before...Quick!! Someone bring me a box of tissues--STRONG, EXTRA- ABSORBENT TISSUES!! To think that cute little kitties would write to R. Pup--I think I'm gonna cry...(blows nose) HONK!!

Michele and her Peke (fancy dog-better'n me) live in Mexico, MO (Mighty Minds--is this in the USA?) Pretty dog's name is Gizmo (Gizzy)--Gizzy likes to "Chomp and Chew" peanut butter sandwiches. Gizzy...Wait till you eat "Kieto's Ground Turkey Onion Burgers!" The animal shelter in Michele's community has a way to "meet the dog of your dreams"--It's called "Bark in the Park"--hey, that's how I got adopted!
