  • Fried Chicken at Red October

    It seems I either ate a lot of food on my last trip or I just took way more pictures of food than usual, but here’s another food post! Before I went on this past trip I kept joking about the fried chicken parade I wanted to do…basically eat as much fried chicken as possible…

  • Brown Stew Chicken

    One night I decided to have a bunch of friends over for a fabulous dinner. A friend of mine’s brother is a chef and he volunteered to come in and cook for us, so we all agreed that a big pot of something would be the easiest for him to cook since there were about…

  • Yes They ARE Bigger in Jamaica

    Forget about Texas because they’re bigger in Jamaica!! Living in Canada, we get the worst of the world’s produce up here. None of it is locally grown and it has to come a long way to get to us. So you can imagine my AWE seeing an avocado this size! It looked like a football…

  • Fun Holiday Hotel – Negril

    So a few of us pulled an island-wide road trip in two days and our overnight stop was planned for Negril.  A couple weeks ahead of time a friend of mine got on the internet to book me a cheap hotel and between her and I we found that more than one place in Negril…

  • Roosters Bar at Spur Tree Hill

    On a day in November I was driving from Negril to Ocho Rios the hard way – meaning cutting clean through the middle of the island hills instead of sticking to the main roads and going the fast way. We planned to have NO plan that day and just drive, and stop where ever we…

  • Sorrel

    I went on a road trip with a friend of mine one day, to his family’s farm way up in the hills of Trelawny. I really didn’t know what kind of farm it was until we arrived. Turns out they farmed every kind of produce imaginable, but one in particular stood out for me because…

  • 40 Legs in Jamaica

    Hey everyone, I’m still in Jamaica and was inspired to post this because it’s UGLY as hell!! I’ve always heard about “Forty Legs” in Jamaica – basically they’re a giant centipede and when I say giant…..I mean it!  I’m on my 14th trip right now and have never had the pleasure of visiting with a…

  • Busy Signal A Mi Artist!

    This is a fun post to commemorate what a great thing my friend Dominique did while interviewing Busy Signal. I’ve been meaning to make this little video for a long time, but I get sidetracked easily. Busy is my #1 artist and she knows it because every time she writes about him on her site…
