Food!!

So our family ( and by family I mean 12 of us) took a trip to the old country. And by old county I mean Jamaica. We had a blast and ate all sorts of great food. Jerk chicken, stew peas, seafood fritters, ox tail, rice and peas, patties, Escovitch fish, and more fruit than you can shake a stick at! While it was supper tasty, when we got home I was all set to stock up on "home" food! The kids got sick a few days after we got home but we had 4 days to enjoy them and home and cooking before it was illness battle stations. The pot of chili I cooked up made me very happy and I was able to eat an old favorite -chili dogs! For 3 days....:)another treat has been this brie roll that I got from good old Publix! I even like the rind. I've been slicing off little rounds and broiling them on rounds of French bread with slices of pear. Yum yum! I ve been countering these goodies with green smoothies and homemade carrot apple juice.

This Sunday is the thanksgiving dinner at our chapel, and I've signed up to bring sweet potatoes. I really hope the kids are well enough to go! Other wise I'll be sending my dish with Conrad.
