Good morning, pals! 🤗 I feel good and I look good. Maybe that’s the secret sauce for a good Monday? We’ll see.

Corned beef. And if I have a bag of rice, one onion, one tomato, and a bell pepper, I’m turning it into bully beef.

I had to-go cups of Carolina BBQ sauce in the fridge from takeout. The sauce itself was DELICIOUS and I didn’t want it to go to waste. So, I seasoned the wings and marinated them in the BBQ sauce AND basted more sauce on it halfway through the cook time. Ommmggg, y’all. 🤤 #CojoCooks

Good morning to the AM shift! ☀️☺️ A smile from me to start your day.

Amaretto Sour and Midori Sour. Picture this. NYC. July 2001. At a nightclub called Nell’s to celebrate my 21st birthday. My brother handed me either an Amaretto Sour and said, “Trust me, you’ll like it. Cheers!” Amaretto Sours and Midori Sours became my go-to drink in the NYC club circuit.
