How about a spicy flank steak
2 pounds flank steak
1/3 cup red wine, preferably dry
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
Place flank steak in a shallow glass dish. Combine remaining ingredients and pour onto steak. Cover dish and allow to marinate in refrigerator for 2-8 hours. Preheat grill for medium heat. Remove meat from dish, reserving marinade. Place steak onto grill and brush liberally with marinade. Cook for 5 minutes, turn, brush with marinade again and cook for additional 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
Food, food, food, everyone should say one or two things that they'd like to see on the menu, then an attempt should be made to accommodate as best as possible. Can't please everyone, but can at least try. Personally, i don't drink, so that's more liquor for everyone else.
maybe we could have the meetup in the US...hehe that way we don't get kidnapped. i don't have to drink and eat steak....just give me a good baked potato and a glass of water...and i am good to go!! i will take the REALLY embarrassing pictures of body parts and funny faces...lol

11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
@FyreFiend: Yeah, i gotta watch out for that unintentional "volunteerism", gets me every time. XD
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
I'm coming over to BigE's house. XD
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
@CJ I think we're all inviting ourselves.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend

11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky

11 months, 3 weeks ago by Bishop
Now that would be the ultimate Jaiku meetup -- a Jaiku party. :-)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
BTW that sounds like the short ribs I made last night in lemon & red pepper marinade!
11 months, 3 weeks ago by Bishop
I'm bringing the camera and publishing all the embarassing photo's!
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
I'll be backup photographer and bring the whiskey.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
Well I did invite everyone to come to Tequila Expo...
11 months, 3 weeks ago by Bishop
@Bishop Yea but you didn't offer yummy food (besides, you're even farther away than @Big)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
October was a bad month for me.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
@FF: There was a BUNCH of yummy food there!!
Ever had empenadas made fresh right in front of you?
Or real tradtional quesadillas with diced nopal cactus?
The food was great!
11 months, 3 weeks ago by Bishop
@Bishop I'm sure there was great food but it wasn't part of the original offer. Not much for Tequila but good food will have me running :D

Give me coffee and and steak and I'm good to go for hours.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
@FF: I'm sure I mentioned the food. I love those empenadas.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by Bishop
@bishop I must have missed it. Sorry man
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
Well put it on the list for next year! :)

11 months, 3 weeks ago by chibbigirl
I think we'd have to hold this at @CJs as she's about half way between all of us
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
mi casa su casa
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
@CJ i will bring a sleeping bag, potatoes and my camera. i don't take up that much space. plus, i think it would be cheap to fly where you're at! :)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by chibbigirl
If you think we have an airport you are crazy!
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
I've sleep on floors, in chairs, and in a bath tub (don't ask) so I'll find a place to crash.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
I have a fold out couch dude.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
@CaffeineJunky I thought I'd leave the couch for @Chibbi
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
Aw sweet. She can sleep with me though if she wants. get your minds out of the gutters
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
@CJ What can I say, I'm a gentleman (though that image will keep a smile on my face for a while ;->)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
@CaffeineJunky: u cant escape that! now we ALL want the same offer! sleep with both u and betty! how sweet dream!

11 months, 3 weeks ago by Bishop

11 months, 3 weeks ago by cybette
Walk away for a little bit and this happens! Hot girls cuddling? Count me in (only after kitchen duties though). :-)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse

11 months, 3 weeks ago by chibbigirl
@big I would like to selflessly volunteer my services to hold your place while you cook
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
@FyreFiend: Gee, thanks. How about holding my place in the kitchen? :-)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
Hot men cooking and spooning? Do I have a concusion?
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
@big can't. Gotta let the artist work uninterrupted on the meal
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
XD Drat!
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse

11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
Ahem. Ladies. Curse my seductive, culinary skills. :-)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
Ahem I was wondering when the spooning commences :-)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
Cooking is hot! will you only wear an apron?
11 months, 3 weeks ago by chibbigirl
LOL
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
i don't know about that. Would make spooning a lot more interesting though.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
Does the apron say 'Kiss the cook?' XD
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
XD Is that what it should say?
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
Not a bad invitation IMO XD
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
:-) You girls are bad. i've gotta keep my eyes on you all.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse

11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky

11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse

11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend

11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
@Fyrefiend: Is that all you're doing?
11 months, 3 weeks ago by edythemighty
Is it role playing time? Okay, i call man-servant. @ladies: Your wish is my command. :-)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
@edythemighty Read above about me being a gentleman. Fan now and be ready to fulfill any other requests from the lady
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
@Big Hey, I was here first. Don't make me whack you with the fan
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
I'm a....harshman? >.>
11 months, 3 weeks ago by edythemighty
See, that's exactly how this whole thing will turn into an S&M thing. XD
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
Because you and @Fyrefiend are fighting over a fan?
11 months, 3 weeks ago by edythemighty
You can take him, @BigEclipse! :3
11 months, 3 weeks ago by edythemighty
Fight, fight, fight! School yard style.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
i'd rather please the ladies though.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
Rip off your shirt before going down on @Fyrefiend..... cough
11 months, 3 weeks ago by edythemighty
@edy leave your fantasies out of this
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
What the hell happened here? @chibbigirl certainly knows how to get things started. :-)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
i love seeing you boys fighting over lil' ol' me! bats eyelashes
11 months, 3 weeks ago by chibbigirl
@chibbi really? @Big Sorry dude, nothing personal but you're going down
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
@chibbigirl: :-) Some things are worth fighting for.
@FyreFiend: In the words of Joe Swanson, "Bring it on!". XD
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
oh..i meant fight over us ladies here on jaiku!!
11 months, 3 weeks ago by chibbigirl
blushes
11 months, 3 weeks ago by chibbigirl
:-)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
@Chibbi Oh... /me helps @big collect his teeth while looking for his ear and left arm
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
That's my ear and arm. I have no illusions about how much damage @big could do to me. Still worth trying
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
@FyreFiend: Nothing beats a trial like a failure my friend. Go for it -- at your own peril.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
@Big Well, at least I'll be dying for a good cause
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
Great reply. That @chibbigirl is well worth it.
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
I feel left out. pouts
11 months, 3 weeks ago by CaffeineJunky
@CJ I'll let @Big beat me to a pulp you too (I really am going to die)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
for you
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend

11 months, 3 weeks ago by KevanV

11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse

11 months, 3 weeks ago by KevanV
=O @Big Let us put aside our differences and get @Kevan
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
Now that's an idea i can definitely support. Get him!
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
@CJ had me at pouts :)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by chibbigirl
Damn this, i'm getting back to the ladies. :-)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse

11 months, 3 weeks ago by KevanV
notices how effective that was... and tries to get breath back pants
11 months, 3 weeks ago by KevanV
Takes @Kevan down while he's trying to recover
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
No one runs off with our @chibbi without her say so
11 months, 3 weeks ago by FyreFiend
XD
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
OMG! i would pick all of you!!! :) (very diplomatic Chibbi answer)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by chibbigirl
LOL
11 months, 3 weeks ago by vomicae

11 months, 3 weeks ago by KevanV
"Cuddle up."
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse
Is it something to do with the time of year? Everyone's libido seems to be acting up :)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by alexleonard

11 months, 3 weeks ago by chibbigirl
:-)
11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse

11 months, 3 weeks ago by chibbigirl

11 months, 3 weeks ago by BigEclipse

11 months, 3 weeks ago by chibbigirl
Ha ha. You know it. Had to allow that stamina time to regenerate. :-)
