My Jamaican Christmas

Hey World! :)

I hope you enjoyed the past Yuletide season as much as I did! I can't help it, but I'm a nerd for Christmas. From the decorations, the Christmas lights aka "peppa lights", the food, sorrel (my faveeeeeeeee), baking, rum cream lol, family reunions, shopping, parties, Christmas carols and all. #TisTheSeasonToBeJolly

''For a child has been born for us, a son is given to us & the #government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful #Counselor, Mighty #God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.'' ••• #Isaiah 9:6 #bible #bibleverse #scripture #Christmas #PrinceOfPeace #Jesus

National Dish

Hey World!:)

Breakfast today was really really good, i just had to share it with you. Above is Jamaica's National Dish-- Ackee and Saltfish, which was served with Roast Breadfruit. Yum! But some persons prefer eating Ackee and Saltfish (Codfish) with fried dumplings (also called johnny cakes), boiled dumplings, boiled green bananas, yam, bread, bammy or white rice (which i recently learned of).

This is normally a breakfast or brunch meal. If you vacation on the island, the hoteliers will ensure that you have the choice for some ackee and saltfish atleast once from their daily menu. It is highly requested from visitors to the island while on vacation.

However, ackee is a seasonal fruit so when you need that ackee fix check your local foodstores, the West Indian isle in Walmart for this canned product from Grace Foods.

I can assure you that if it is not eaten throughout the year, every family has it on their tables at Christmastime with some hot cocoa!:)

Ackee and Saltfish is a must have! So try some today!
