11/17/2003 Jerky Chicken
Hello and good morning!
This week's installment of Recipe of the Week comes to us from sunny Jamaica! The nearly 300 year old tradition of marinating meats in a "jerk" sauce consisting of herbs, vinegar and spicy peppers makes this recipe a true taste of the Islands! Vegetarians and Vegans can use Extra Firm Tofu to make a spicy soy dish. Vegans will be pleased to note that tofu is the only substitution you'll have to make in this fairly easy recipe! (Correct me if I'm wrong...)
In new exciting Recipe of the Week news, the Diversity Committee is looking into getting the recipe set up on a website so you can get all the same great yummy information without having to wade through all of your other e-mails to find it! Until this happens, we will continue to offer you fun and tasty meals via your regular e-mail. More information will be provided when we get it!
Thank you to all of you who have sent me feedback concerning my little "pet project." I really appreciate the kind remarks that have been sent my way and please keep sending me feedback (good or bad)!!
Wishing we could have Jamaican weather,
The Diversity Committee
