Jamaican Jerk
Our group meeting at school was surprisingly productive… We have our big capstone presentation on Thursday, so it as good to get things squared away today… When we got back from school, Bill and I went for a nice walk around his neighorhood ~ I still can’t get over the delightful weather, I’m obsessed with talking about it haha…
Dinner tonight was definitely appropriate given the weather outside! We made jamaican jerk chicken (using sauce we brought back from Jamaica last summer), grilled plantains (sauteed in olive oil & juice from two clementines with a sprinkling of brown sugar on top), and a very colorful salad (romaine lettuce with tomatoes and cucumbers)… It was DELICIOUS and we ate watching the Phillies game with all the windows open and the sun pouring in… We also each had a Miller Lite (in a very frosty Eagles mug) to “complement” dinner 
Granted it wasn’t a Red Stripe, but our dinner did bring back some Jamaican memories…
Now we are going to finish watching the Phillies game & enjoy this relaxing Saturday night!
Have fun watching the Phillies! I am all baseball-ed out today, after watching the Sox and Yankees… so I’m turning my attention to hockey tonight!
They do! They taste just like regular oranges… but maybe even sweeter. You just have to not think about the kinda-morbid name while you eat them!
chocolatecoveredvegan ~ haha… oh wow, you got a double dose of baseball today! Oooo, thanks for the tip on the oranges!! I can’t wait to try them now hehe… their name definitely freaks me out a bit!
Enjoy the weather immensely for me, please – it’s now snowing here!! :0(
Mmm, I LOVE Jerk seasoning – gives dishes a much-needed “flavor-kick,” for sure.
Have fun watching the rest of the game!
Yikes, I hate presentations :s I always manage to mess up my words and stumble D: But it’s good that your group got stuff done!
Hope you had a good Saturday night!
VeggieGirl ~ AWWW
I’m sorry to hear that! I love jerk too, I could eat it on almost anything!
oatmeal ~ As do i! But since this is my LAST presentation for my masters, I honestly am not worried hehe… I hope I don’t panick right before though
Oh oh, I just learned of the joy of jerk flavoring! It’s grand.
WHOO! Go Phillies! I hate baseball (sorry) but have family in Philly and love the town.
Jill ~ It’s awesome, isn’t it? Hehe, I used to not be a fan of baseball until recently, so I know where you are coming from haha!
I always want to buy plantains…are they easy to cook? They scare me a little.
arielle ~ believe it or not i just winged it based on a few food network recipes… i just sauteed them in olive oil, a little bit of orange juice and a sprinkling of dark brown sugar on both sides and ta-da done! i also saw a recipe where you coat them in olive oil and grill them on a foreman… i might try that next… i never had them before and expected them to be sweet but was surprised when they tasted like potatoes!
