Instead of socks, underwear and peanut M&Ms, we put a little effort into Daddy's gift this year. I think that smile says it all. Merry Christmas, Daddy! ❤ #PateChristmas #Pateness (at La Porte, Indiana)

1. I never could follow directions with paint. 2. That's what it was supposed to look like. 3. I over cheesed in this selfie, but Commissioner @mcorley20 tends to have that effect on me. 💖 Super happy to spend the night painting to support the Commission on the Social Status of African American Males. #MyMichiganCity #LivingTheDream #PaintRebel (at Patrick's Grille)

Tonight's Dinner for Two (Schmee stopped by) was the braised beef I intended to use as empanada filling but Schmee is gluten free, so we improvised when she called and said she was coming over and I just slapped it on the plate with the rest, cilantro lime rice, spicy refried beans and fresh pico with tortillas. If I do say so myself, DAYUM GOOD!! #PateKitchen #AlcázarDePate #LosLagosDeValparaiso #Homemade #WhatIAteToday #WhatICookedToday #Instafoodie #Instagood #Instafood

It's not a frittata. It's not an omelette. IDK, it was damn good - eggs, cheese, spinach, bacon and mushroom. #Latergram #Brunch #PateKitchen #AlcázarDePate #LosLagosDeValparaiso #Homemade #WhatIAteToday #WhatICookedToday #Foodstagram #Instafood #Instafoodie

#Latergram that bacon, mushroom, parmesan risotto and NY strip I made the other day. Not apologizing for the Texas Toast. Don't hate, it's epic! #PateKitchen #AlcázarDePate #LosLagosDeValparaiso #WhatICookedToday #WhatIAteToday #Foodstagram #Instagood #Instafood #Instafoodie

I don't always dine alone on a Saturday night, but when I do, I do the damn thang! 😋 Ribeye in horseradish, Worcestershire and red wine demi-glace. Garlic and parmesan roasted potatoes. Twice baked bleu, parm and cheddar mac with tri-color pasta and crumble butter crust. Butter and garlic roasted broccoli. Southern buttermilk "made-them-my-damn-self" biscuits. #DropsMic #PateKitchen #AlcázarDePate #LosLagosDeValparaiso #WhatIAteToday #WhatICookedToday #CastIron #ChannelingTheAncestors #DayumGood

It's a double side of fried kind of Monday. Maxwell Street polish, onion rings and mushrooms. 😋 #MyMichiganCity #Yum (at Top Dog)
