All Around Town Catering's Southwest Chicken with Salsa Infused Rice [Cinco de Mayo]

Made by Mark Giorgi

4 boneless skinless chicken breast, marinated in olive oil and soy sauce

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup diced bell pepper

1/2 cup diced onion

2 cups corn off the cob

1 Tbsp garlic

Blend of cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper

2 cups cooked rice

Dos Equis Amber lager

You want to get your oil hot and add corn until it starts to pop along with your bell pepper and onion. You can season your rice with the spice blend and salsa. Stir that up really well. Add a bit of amber lager to your corn to calm it down a bit. It will add a great flavor to it. Serve chicken over rice and the corn will be a perfect side. Will be great for Cinco de Mayo!

FDA warns of dangers with temporary tattoos

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC)- Temporary tattoos may be more than cool or cute. In a special "On Your Side" report, Ronda Robinson explains why the FDA says temporary tattoos can cause permanent damage.

"My first tattoo came when i was 19." You could say body art has become a form of expression for Jennifer Poole. She didn't stop there. She got a teddy bear tattoo, two lady bugs, a butterfly and a cross wrapped with a pink ribbon.

"We thought I had breast cancer. We spent a week not knowing so it changed my perspective. It gave me a new found respect for women who do suffer from breast cancer." She said.

On her leg, Poole displays a wolf howling at the moon that was supposed to be a temporary tattoo.

"I don't like the temporary tattoos at all. After they are on can't get them off. it irritates skin, left welts."
