Great View of our Gorgeous Villa

You should start planning your vacation here NOW!!

Here you can see one of the jerk chicken stands.. The chicken is cooked in the oven on the right of the image. I do not remember the name of the lady in the picture, but she was very friendly, and her jerk chicken was the best I tried.

If you buy a chicken you can choose which sauce you want with it. There is the spicy one and ketchup. The chicken is accompanied with rice and beans. You can buy a drink in stands like these. Other stands sell beers, tobacco, breads and others.

Have you ever had Jamaican Jerk??

Jerk chicken is damn fine stuff -- white or dark meat chopped up into golf ball-sized chunks, smoky and blackened in spots from charcoal flames lapping at it as the fat renders off. You can smatter it with as much thin, spicy habanero jerk sauce as your mouth can handle, but a couple of cold beers really up your tolerance. The pieces are bone-in, a Jamaican cooking tradition that's not without its problems, but one I've grown to enjoy. There's something primal and almost reverent about mawing down on meat that's still attached to its frame. When you're picking out jagged pieces of bone and sweating in the night time summer heat, you start to feel like this is a meal you're lucky to be enjoying.

Glimpse of Ocho Rios!!!

Ocho Rios is the only way to Rock the Caribbean:

Ocho Rios, located on the north central coast of Jamaica, is the favorite stop for cruise ships in the Caribbean with plenty of attractions.

The number of day trips in the area is almost endless, but there is one you should not miss: the visit to the Dunn's River Falls. Other attractions are the working plantations, the beaches, the Bob Marley Mausoleum, the scuba diving sites... the list is endless.

I love this floor....

Great Pic alert!!

Wouldn't you like this to be your Home-away-from-Home?

Breakfast!! Fried Plantains!!!

Fried Plantains is a Caribbean staple or morning breakfast.

Enjoy the recipe :-)

INGREDIENTS:
-4 firm-ripe plantains
-vegetable oil for deep-frying


COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

Peel and slice the plantains. I find that the best way to slice them is either diagonally or you can cut the plantain in half and slice lengthwise. The plantain can also be sliced lengthwise full size, but the smaller diagonal or half slices are easier to fry.

Heat the oil over medium heat (around 375 degrees is good) in a large frying pan and add the sliced plantains.
Fry plantians until golden brown. They will cook very quickly, be careful not to burn them.

Place fried plantains on a paper towel and dry off any excess oil.
Thats it! Serve warm. Brown sugar is a good addition if ya want to sweet it up mon. If you any thing to add to this recipe then feel free to add a comment.
