Wednesday's Ocean was another rough one. These cold fronts really do make the ocean react. The waves were constant and large so we spent most of the day in the room avoiding the bugs and watching my wife recover from a nice little Crown Royal hang over. The previous night we were drinking on our deck with DK, Kevin, Tammy(she lives in the complex) and Tammy's husband. Brenda was free pouring drinks into one of those Bugga Kegs....well lets just say she's a bit of a light weight. She was entertaining as hell though....for as long as she lasted!
We watched TV in the room for hours on end. I made some Spaghettinni and a Vodka Sauce with fresh tomatoes, peppers and onions added for extra flavor. I had cooked the sauce the day before and had stored it in the fridge to meld the flavors more. I have made some good meals with the limited resources I have down here but this one takes the cake. Doc, who is pretty traditional in the food he likes as a Jamaican, stopped by to see if we needed anything and he was like "Kory what are you cooking mon....can smell that all the way out by the beach bar"....so I guess it was impressive. Doc when he lived in Kingston and a young man used to make his living cooking on one of the Push Carts. We talked the other day about cooking. I told him how I make my Jamaican Food back home and I got his AUTHENTIC seal of approval. He loved hearing how I toast the whole spices and use a grinder or mortar and pastel to grind them up. It was a good conversation and not our usual state of Jamaica discussion so I enjoyed it a lot. Cooking is a passion of mine.
The pasta and garlic toast was just the thing to fix Brenda up and we both started feeling more human again around 6PM. Just in time to get our call from DK to see what our supper plans were. We decided on Travellers again as its so convenient and close. So we made plans to head over there. Brenda and I took the road to make our way over there and immediately were asked if we needed a cab from the guys across the street when I answered no of course they asked if I needed weed, hash or blah blah blah. LOL! It doesn't matter where I go I attract that attentions with my pierced ears and tattoos.

Brenda's Curry Chicken
My Coconut Shrimp
Kevin's Steamed Fish
Those were our meals that we had yesterday at Travellers. If you are looking for good affordable dishes cooked very well by a chef with great ingredients then this is a place you need to try. Reasonable prices as well at the bar and the drinks are poured well!
We made it another quiet evening as we have some plans for today and Friday!
