Possible Names for the 3 African Lions at Seneca Park Zoo, Rochester NY

From Seneca Park Zoo - http://www.senecaparkzoo.org/a-step-into-africa-construction.aspx


The Male:
Jelani - [masculine] it means "Mighty" in Swahili. His roar was pure and strong. He looks like and acts like a leader and a protector. He was full of energy, but at the same time compassionate.




The Female who frequently sits on the Safari Bus:
Amara - [feminine] it means "Grace" in Igbo (african dialect). She was the most relaxed and patient of all the lionesses. She was able to sit on the Bus and happily tolerate all visitors who wanted to view her. When she left the bus, she leaped with a graceful stride.




Asha - [feminine] it means "Life" in Swahili. She was the most playful and energetic of the two female lions, and her coat full of luster and beauty.

McCormick Grill Mates - Grill Ambassador Party

The party went extremely well, from setup, to the cooking, to takedown.

All Photos from the party can be found at this public link:

Here is what everyone had to say about the party. Please Click on any image for full size!

The McCormick Ingredient List:
#1 Memphis Pit BBQ Rub on Baby Back Spare Ribs
#2 Montreal Steak Seasoning on NY Strip Steaks
#3 Spiced Brandy and Herb Marinade on Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
#4 Brown Sugar Bourbon Rub/Sauce on Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
#5 Molasses Bacon Seasoning on 3 Different Hamburger Sliders: Plain, Onion, Cheddar Bacon.


(Since i was the host, i didn't write one, so i will write mine here!)


#1. The BBQ Rub was amazing. For one of the few times i eat ribs, it was extremely enjoyable. Subtle, yet sweet, and slightly salty with a bold finish. Left a pleasant taste on the pallet.

#2 The perfect match to any steak is the Montreal Steak seasoning. Adds that kick of spicy with a bold salty taste, and spicy finish. The hints of garlic are a pleasing aftertaste.

#3 I really did not enjoy the flavor of the Spiced Brandy and Herb Marinade. It was tasty, but it was way too subtle. It was missing something, a bold note that never made its presence know. Disappointing.

#4. The Bourbon Sauce was rich with flavor, and i thought i pared nicely with the chicken. It had a gentle, yet robust flavor. Overall, a very good sauce.

#5 The Molasses Bacon was so interesting. Never would have thought of something like that. It paired very well with the mini-hamburgers, and was extremely tasty. Hint of smoky flavor, but sweet, salty and BACON. Enough said.

Everyone Else's Responses, Original Scans
