    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…

    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…

    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…

    One of the evenings I stayed in Kingston I made plans to meet a fellow Canadian for dinner. She suggested Cuddy’z Sports Bar in New Kingston. I really didn’t know anything about Kingston so I was fine with her choice since she’s lived there on and off for years. It’s located at 25 Dominica Drive.…

    There are only about 3 or 4 restaurants in Port Royal that actually show up in a Jamaica guide book and two of them are called Gloria’s. So we picked this one, and we were dead hungry when we got there.     The night before we came to Port Royal I was out for…

    Some of my readers have asked me to make sure I take note of local places I’ve eaten and bring back the stories so here’s a great little place to stop. It’s called High Hopes and it’s located right on the main highway between Montego Bay and Discovery Bay – closer to Montego Bay. It’ll…

    If Jamaica is famous for anything it’s the Rum – Appleton Estate, which is my personal favorite and Wray & Nephew overproof which I can’t be within 10 feet of! Jamaica also has a rich history of piracy dating back to the 1600’s. It’s WELL worth googling and learning about, you might be surprised! For…

  • Stop In For A Drink on the Roadside

    No matter where you go in Jamaica there will ALWAYS be someone on the side of the road selling beverages. Yes you’ll even find them on deserted roadways because someone will always stop in for a drink!   This girl has her drink stop set up right in front of her house, guess she doesn’t have…

    Over the years I’ve been listening to one of my best friends rave about this place non-stop! We just happened to be in Jamaica together in February so she made it her mission to take me there before I left the island. We went on my last morning before heading to the airport. The place…

    So….does this look appetizing to you? Boiled green banana is another staple in the Jamaican diet, mostly for breakfast and usually served with saltfish and dumpling. That picture is a meal someone cooked us for breakfast. My mom took the picture and this was pretty much her first meal in Jamaica. She said the bananas…
