Day 15. Quiet day at home!

After the past couple of busy days, we decide to have a day at home.  Clive says he has work to do and I need to do laundry and wanted to get to the pool.  Life seems to have away of doing its own thing!

After breakfast we decided I would get the laundry and some cleaning done, and Clive was going to start his marathon cooking session. Soup and the Jamaican National Dish - Saltfish and Ackee! This meal was to be servered with yam - yellow and white variety, sweet potatoes, green banana and bread fruit!!!  He has never really cooked this before -  very ambitious me thinks!  He makes the soup (which was a staple before I came). I had to be instructed in this art!  My time is passing by.  Then we start on the evening meal.  We sort of make a timetable and also have to watch a video of cooking bread fruit,  well, to be honest, we must have watched six videos!  

Got the breadfruit baking and then watched  ' The Iron Lady'. Great movie! Time seemed to go by quickly and it was time to prepare the balance of the meal.  All went well and by 8.30pm we were eating the enormous plate of food.  It was actually very good!  Clive thought it was very authentic! He should know.   After we finished he said " we can have what's left for breakfast!.  Maybe he will! Me far to full to eat it again in the morning!
