* 2Nutz – Smith is correct, a gizzada is a cookie-tart kind of thingy that is my favorite Jamaican treat. I’ll take a photo of one and post it. I think the best gizzadas (home made) are made by the lady who has a fruit stand in front of Chances.
It is so hot and humid today, Lawd have mercy!
So yesterday I checked out the much discussed ‘Sidewalk Project’. It starts at the bridge over the river in town and is located on the morass, or garden side of the road. It’s made of poured concrete and is about 10 feet wide, twice the width of a normal sidewalk. It features a row of red bricks that run down the center, like a dividing line, and another row of bricks on each side, like shoulders. Every 30 feet or so there is a cut that runs across the sidewalk, one brick wide, also filled with red bricks. The sidewalk is a work-in-progress. It runs all the way out to Shamrock, but ends there. Also, for the last 500 yards or so, there are gaps in the concrete where only the wire mesh has been laid.
I am impressed with what has been accomplished so far and it was a pleasure to walk along the completed part. It is a really good start. I can imagine it completed, lined with shade trees along the southern edge, frequent park benches and trash bins. Kudos to all who are behind this project. See the photos.
Bea snuck a Christmas advent calendar down in her luggage. She gave it to me on Dec 1. It’s the type that you can customize, fill it yourself with whatever suits your fancy. It has little drawers in it for treats and surprises. She got it at Ikea. See the photo.
So far this is what I’ve discovered:
- Day 1 - $500J wrapped up like a little Christmas present.
2 - a lottery ticket – didn’t win, but got a a free play, and a Godiva chocolate-covered cherry.
3 - four gummy pineapple rings – there was supposed to be 5 but the fifth one didn’t make the trip.
4 – a chewy chocolate covered toffee and dental floss
Quick Fact:
- Juicy J’s is moving from its current location just behind Scotia Bank to the beach, near The Palms, in mid December
