Eating Good - Oxtails
Blogger Points: Fresh oxtails stewed with white potatoes, cut collard greens & Jiffy blueberry ho-cake slices. 5-27-11
so i went to visit my girly-friend, Ashley. her roommate started cooking oxtails, rice, brocolli and cornbread. Ash and i had been in their shared living room area watching movies, snacking and just enjoying ourselves for the past 4-5 hours before she came into the kitchen. we let her join in with our talking. with my being almost 36 weeks pregnant at the time, i was welcome to meeting other young women with goals and a good future planned for themselves like me. Ash was graduating from UT that weekend and so was her roommate. there was so much to sit and talk about.
we sat around the living room talking, laughing. looking at our Facebook photos and just being girls. Ash's roommate continuted going back and forth between the living room and kitchen. of course, when we saw her pull out the oxtails, we got excited. we talked about how long its been since either of us have had oxtails. you know my pregnant self was super excited as the apartment started smelling tasty.
well, Ash's roommate announced that she would not be sharing her food with us after she finished cooking. she said something about not having enough for us then she sat down in the living with her plate and ate. she then said she was expecting guests over for dinner. they never showed up. in any case, Ash and i ate some salad and continued fellowshipping with her.
after eating with Ash, i texted my hubby to come pick me up, i told him about the oxtails. you can imagine the look he had on his face while i was recounting how my tummy was growling. i had him drive me to Fiesta immediately so i can purchase my own. i also picked up some frozen collard greens and fresh organic potatoes. the next morning, a friday, i put those oxtails on, cut up those potatoes and let the collard greens thaw. hubby had to DJ out of town for the weekend so Ash was coming over to keep me company.
that package of oxtails i purchased from Fiesta was exactly what Ash's roommate had purchased. my package yielded a full pot of meat and the potatoes made it on point! my hubby is from Georgia and was feeling those oxtails before he left for the weekend. nothing like a good homecooked meal.
Ash and i had a blast that entire weekend eating those oxtails. next time i cook them, i'll blog each step as this pot was good, good, good!
