Baby Boy I know your in a bad way right now. I know it hurts to find yourself Lost with a Hole in your Heart where love was. But you don't have to worry none. You go up there to Portland and live your life. All this Hurt you feel now will fade and He will fill you with His holy Spirit. And when He does that anger will go and that hole will heal and your Heart will find new Blessings and Love. Trust Him in all Things. When has YaYa ever lied to you baby? That's right. Never.

I'm sending you this recipe because ever since you were little you liked this stew, and every time you make it you can think of the good times and about how much you love your YaYa! You know we don't mess with mesurments so just play with the spices and don't use too much salt or hot peppers at first. And if you can't find browning sauce up there you can try some of that Wostershere sauce. I Love You Baby Boy.

YaYa's Brown Stew

Get some dark meat chicken (2 or 3 pounds). Take the skin off and wash it with lime juice.

Add these herbs into the bowl
- One or two spoons olive oil
- Chop up 2 green onions and one little white onion
- Cut up 1 hot pepper tiny. The more seeds the hotter the stew
- 2 or 3 thyme
- One big spoon of the garlic from the jar.
- Half a sweet pepper chopped up

Mix all that together in a bowl with clean hands. Put some love into it because the more love you put in it the better it will taste.

Once it's all mixed up together add the seasoning
- 1 spoon of Lowry's
- 1 spoon black pepper
- 1 spoon smoked paprika
- 1 spoon allspice

Mix it up some more, then let it sit and marinade for at least a 1/2 hour.

Then heat up 2 spoons of olive oil in a big pan while you let that chicken soak up all that goodness. Put it all in the pan and start to fry it up. Keep stirring it until it gets some color.

Add a spoon of browning and stir more until it gets nice and brown and that kitchen is good and smoky.

Let it cook for 5 minutes then add in the sauce
- A big squirt of ketchup. Use the Heinz that's the good one
- 2 spoon of pickapeppa
- 1 cup of water
- 1 bullion cube

Stir it again until that sauce starts to come together. You can peel and cut up a carrot or a potato if you want it. Then get that sauce hot until it bubbles, then lower the eat and cover for a 1/2 hour until that gravy is looking right and the chicken is cooked.

Serve it up with rice and peas and fry up some plantains. Your family and friends will love it almost as much as I Love You.
