Arroz de Espana


Well, not really Spanish rice. I kind of forced Jasmine rice into a Spanish spice submission. I took Jasmine rice and dyed it yellow with Sazón and Sofrito (if I have to explain if it was homemade sofrito, you've missed the point of this blog) and made it flavorful. Also, it's not real Spanish rice unless there are olives in it. I currently lack olives in my fridge--boohoo. So I substituted black beans and onions!

Enjoy w/ A very special deep red wine called "Eyes Wide Shut". Bottled by Artiste , blended by me, and cover artwork done by my pops! Give it a check at the website. 47% Tempranillo, 37% Cabernet Savignon, 16% Merlot.

  1. Yo, Chef Gomez, substitute brown rice for your Spanish rice, add some chicken chunks and that's what I'm having for dinner! What a coinkidink! Maybe I'll follow that up with 3 hours of judo, tee-hee! But the wine sounds great. Where the hell can I get it around here?

  2. You can't, it's only local to Sonoma. Also, what's that smart ass remark about Jiujitsu supposed to mean?!?! I've always been going to jiujitsu.

  3. In your "Genesis" profile you state "...who else is blending good food with good weightlifting?" You have the food, but where's the weightlifting? Jiujitsu isn't weightlifting. Nobody cares if you've "always" done it. If your intention is to provide readers with recipes AND weightlifting tips, then get your shit together and do it!

  4. Arunas, you are the most uptight prick I've ever had the displeasure of working for. I place it here for the sake of stated physical activity in lieu of weightlifting. I don't say anything about wine in my genesis yet I still talk about it in a comment.

    Why does everything have to be so exact, cut & dry, and to-the-point?

    Eat me.

  5. Most intelligent people, I think, would subscribe to the notion that any written communication that isn't "fictional"(artistic) in intent, should at least be clear AND TO THE POINT! That, dimwit, doesn't mean it has to be "exact", "cut and dry" or boring. Your generation, in general, is so used to "writing" irrational drivel, seeing no difference between written and spoken communication, i.e. text messaging, Twitter and
    all that other shorthand shit, that there is neither knowledge about nor respect for the written word. You can choose to join that ignorant, who cares? crowd or man-up and admit that you're full of shit! And then go about your blog with at least a semblance of coherence.

  6. The fact that you placed me in that generational grouping is grounds for dismissal. At least a 48 hr break in our friendship.

    You could either choose to take cheap shots and nit pick about what "writing" is or you can man up and admit that this has nothing to do with me being full of shit or having negligent writing skills simply because I added another form of physicality.

    If I hike up the mountain with Indy, does that mean I simply cannot add that to the list of what I did that day?

    Like always you're arguing for the sake of arguing. I win.

  7. The mere fact that you choose to go on with this nonsense ON A PUBLIC BLOG just shows me what an immature litle simp you really are.
    When you stop whimpering you might just write something worth reading.

  8. UUUuggggh anyway after that hot-mess-of-an-argument: your dinner sounds delicious.

    After the first two lines, though, I thought "I took Jasmine rice and..." was going to be followed by "put it in a rear naked choke hold."

  9. That's just silly and ridiculous. Jasmine rice has no neck. Nor does it have a rear. But I could hold it and before it was spiced up it was naked.
