Marinade

• 1/2 cup roughly chopped yellow onion
• 1 jalapeño chile pepper, roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco® sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Foodenate those Bitches

1. In a food processor combine the marinade ingredients. If you don’t have an FP, you can use a blender. Blend until smooth.
2. Put the shrimp in a large, plastic resealable bag and pour in the marinade.
   Press out the air and seal the bag tightly. Shake (jerk) the bag to distribute the
   marinade and refrigerate for at least half an hour, but no more than one hour.
3. Remove the shrimp from the bag and ditch the marinade. Stick
   shrimp onto skewers through both the heads and tails. Grill over high
   heat until the shrimp are firm to the touch and just turning opaque in the
   center – this takes about 2 to 4 minutes, turning once. Place on a plates and stuff, squeeze a
   little lime juice over the shrimp, and serve those jerks warm.

We reconstructed Jolie’s breakfast and have the following report. The clams were tasty and delicious, however there was a very fine grittiness to them that required ample amounts of Zazz to wash down. Eating the apple we once again could not find any seeds, which prompted us to look closely at the baby clams. They too were sexless! Is this androgyny due to sexual immaturity in the baby clams, or was it related to the clandestine neutering of fruit as in the apple. We may never know. But one thing was clear, while the Smoked Baby Clams were tasty, it was a strong flavor to have for breakfast, and if it weren’t for Angelina’s strong endorsement, we would probably prefer to have this meal alone, in our studio apartments, after 11pm, when we don’t have any girls over.
