Day 11

Caribbean Style............

Missing the beauty and warmth of my Caribbean home today...I've decided to recreate a little piece

of paradise, right here in my frozen kitchen.....

Today's Menu

Caribbean Style Curry Potato ( with Spinach and Carrot )

Rice and Peas

Fried Plantain

As much as I'd love to pass along a recipe for this curry, it's impossible...

No matter how many times I turn it over in my head...I just can't.

I cook this dish from memory......by taste...by sight and smell...

Memories of a life I once had, and one I miss immensly...

I smell it, I taste it in every Delicous bite.........
