Yesterday there was a power failure all through the lower town of Negril. There were quite a few generators running but most of the shops were dark. It was sweltering in the gym – no AC, no fans, no music; it was brutal. On the way back to our place we ducked in at the Quality Traders, which is becoming an almost daily stop for us. They were on generator power. There’s a Cash Pot wicket at the side of the building. I assume they had power from the grocery store and they must have been one of the few Cash Pots locations operating because there was a huge line up at the window there. We had power up at our place the whole time though.
I’m starting to slow down on my writing; I guess my ‘groove’ is settling in. This afternoon we’re having our friend JT over for dinner; he has one more week left before returns back to Winter Hell. JT usually walks around bare chested and bare feet, wearing only shorts and a cap. We are wondering how he will show up tonight.
The menu is:
Drinks, all evening:
Choice of Appleton or Meyers Dark Rum with
- Sorrel
- or Pepsi *
- or Coke *
* optionally with fresh squeezed limes
Appetizers:
* Home-made Plaintain Fries, done in coconut oil
* McVitie’s All Butter Short Bread Sticks
Main Course:
* Jerk Chicken a la Best in the West (We picked up some of their jerk sauce)
* Rice and beans
Desert:
* Dark chocolate cake from the Hi Lo pastry rack.
After dinner we will likely go down to the Dominoes Bar for a nightcap.
So, let’s talk about gizzadas.
PGW, those gizzadas look really good, and there are lots of them too, nice. But your guess re the photos is WRONG. Look at the photos again. Later this week I’ll post another hint, when I find the Time. Maybe another photo too, I guess I’ll have to give it up, eventually, maybe.
Imagine driving into this pothole with one of those little scooters. The tiny wheel would be swallowed and you would be arse over tea kettle.
Breakfast on the patio at Charela's . One of our fav spots.
Today, Sunday morning, we spotted this cruciform telephone pole on our walk. Striking isn't it?
