i couldn't cook a dyam thing when i was in jamaica - you need the pressure cooker for almost any kind of meat - and i'm scared of that thing . . . lol

and i agree with jitterbug that is it expensive to buy all the stuff you need to cook - even if you cook every day - setting up includes salt pepper oil seasonings condiments can opener possibly cooking gas - i had a wonderful adventure getting that delivered - NOT

what i have learned is to eat a big full breakfast eat lunch and have dinner and don't "eat up the beach" as i tell my kid when he wants something from every vendor that walks down the beach fruit cotton candy jerk pork patties - lol

that being said - you can find anything you want at Value Master or Hi Hi - i mean Hi Lo - and there's a giant market in Mobay
