Okay, I'm biased; I created this recipe, and to date, sixteen people I know have gotten the recipe and loved it. This year, I braised the meat in red wine and irish whiskey. It made a big difference and tenderized the meat greatly. I just want everyone to enjoy. I tweek everything, even my own recipes. I'm DarkCloudChef now.

I live in rural south eastern Ontario. I love to cook when I have time off from work, which is at a men's maximum security institution as a prison guard. I collect recipe books and have created my own called 'Kelly's Kitchen Kreations' which is a book I put my creations into which sits next to my stove. My greatest cooking pet peeve is the cooks that must continually follow a recipe to the letter and meticulously measure everything out. Where's the spice in that?
