While taking pictures and getting lost in the beauty before me, I hear my name. I turn to see Mrs. Scott gently approach me. Her smile is warm and her voice is pleasant. She’s welcomes me and tells me not to hesitate to let her know if I need anything. She came with NO RULES. None! Didn’t tell me not to let the AC run when I’m not in the room. Didn’t require my drivers to leave fingerprints or a DNA sample. No curfew. When she said “make yourself at home” she truly met it.

“I like to cook. Now you are free to prepare all your own meals yourself because you have a kitchen, but I really do take pleasure in cooking for my guests. If you would like, I can bring you breakfast just for today. If you want it daily…or any meal…just let me know.”

Thank you, Mrs. Scott. How much is breakfast?

“500J is what I normally ask.”

“That’s perfect. I will have breakfast daily. I’ll let you know the night before if it won’t be needed the next morning.”

“Wonderful…I will return shortly.” She pauses then ask with a smile “Is there anything you don’t like?”

I smile back and say “Look at me…do I look like I pass up anything?? Especially Jamaican cooking??”

She laughs and repeats “I will return shortly.” before descending the concrete stairs.

She went down and quickly whipped up this excellent cheese omelet and toast with fresh papaya juice. The omelet was so good that I requested it often. It was definitely the cheese that made it so tasty.
