Top 5 Tastes Of The Day

(Because deciding what to order is so hard!)

IMG_3754

IMG_3757

Granola here is more like lightly toasted oats soaked in milk – sort of like overnight oats. We went to one of the sit-down breakfasts and I ordered this incredible parfait with layers of honey-lime yogurt and “granola” with fruit. LOVED it!

IMG_3755

It was an appetizer to my banana pancakes! Matt ordered a pizza for breakfast with goat cheese and bacon. He sure is rocking the savory!

IMG_3762

IMG_3758

IMG_3763

Have you ever sipped coconut water from the coconut?!

IMG_3770

Now I’m thinking I should plant a coconut tree in our backyard..

IMG_3768

Plopped on top of my salad bar were these lentils…….which were the best lentils I’ve ever had

IMG_3777

IMG_3774

The lentils were better than all three of the desserts I tasted after lunch! Imagine that!

IMG_3780

This drink was on the menu as an Ocean 11. It was listed as ‘Papaya, milk, simple syrup and a hint of nutmeg.’ I asked for it without the syrup for cocktail hour snack time and it was an incredible papaya-milk smoothie. Must add more nutmeg to my vita-mix creations!

IMG_3791

IMG_3796

The dessert on the right was called “Banoffee Pie.” I was expecting a coffee-banana slice of pie. But it turned out to be a TOFFEE pie served in a bowl. First smoothies in a bowl, now pie in a bowl!? Matt and I both agreed that the thick, sweet, chewy bites of toffee under layers of banana and pie crust were the best dessert we’ve ever had. We almost ordered another one, but by the time we finished the apple streusel and cherry ice cream we were stuffed.

IMG_3863

5 Top Moments Of The Day

Swim #2 in the ocean. We went for two separate dips and crab-walked around. I tried to swim laps but ended up just hovering in the surf

:mrgreen: this !

IMG_3767

The Hunger Games was just too intense and dark of a book to read in the sunshine. Thanks to my phone’s Kindle app and resort wifi, I had a new book ready to go in 2 minutes! So many of you recommended She’s Come Undone in your favorite book of all time comments, so I downloaded it. LOVE it so far. Lamb has this magical way of transporting the reader back in time. The book is lots of description – which I love too. Wonderful characters!! Can’t wait to read more today!

IMG_3781

After hours of lying in our chairs reading, we went on two beach walks, one in each direction. The first took us through some of the other resorts and the second took us through Negril’s beaches. We got to see some of the local flavor. I wish I had money to buy some jerk chicken from a stand. I am glad I had no money though so the ganga dealers didn’t harass us too much ; )

IMG_3794

TIGRE SIGHTING!!!

IMG_3783

Orange cats follow us everywhere.

IMG_3787

Of course our final top 5 moment was cocktail hour!

IMG_3815

IMG_3831

Matt’s reaction to his Mint Julep. [Best drink he had all week, he said]

IMG_3832

IMG_3834

Dinner followed. It was not a top 5 moment of the day, but it was pretty tasty.

The sesame salmon I ordered for an appetizer was great

IMG_3842

As was Matt’s jerk pork

IMG_3843

The pumpkin soup was pretty disappointing. It tasted more like peas than pumpkin? Which I guess is a good thing since I love peas!

IMG_3846

The wines here aren’t all that exciting. They only have one red [Cab] and one white [Chard] so as wine lovers we were a little sad that they have Grey Goose Vodka in the bars but only one wine. One plus: your glass never goes empty! They keep filling it up until you tell them you’ve had enough.

      Last time I was in Jamaica, the groundskeepers at the resort I stayed at would just give them to you as they chopped them down! We brought them to the bar and had them add some rum after we drank about 1/2 the water.

    I want to recreate that banana toffee thing ASAP. I love bananas in dessert and especially with that toffee!

    She’s Come Undone was a great book – I read it years ago and still have pages marked just because I love the way Lamb phrases things.

    I giggled a little when I saw that She’s Come Undone is your “lighter” read—from what I remember, it’s pretty intense! But glad you’re enjoying it : )

    If you’re loving She’s Come Undone, you HAVE to read “I Know This Much Is True” his other book that I thought was way better. It actually was my favorite book for a good 10 years until Hunger Games gave it a run for it’s money 😉

      Its not really that odd… considering Jamaica is part of the Commonwealth, hence still has some British influences in their culture harking back to the Colonial years. Definitely seek out some banoffee cheesecake if you ever make it back over to the U.K!

    Haha I went to Jamaica for spring break my senior year of college and remember the ganga dealers well. It was always: “weed? weed?” and then we’d say no, so for some reason they’d assume that well, if they don’t want weed, they probably want: “cocaine? ecstasy?” Lol.

    All the food looks so incredibly fresh and delicious – I can’t get over it. I think your posts have convinced me to take a Jamaican vacation in the future (though I don’t know that I could handle the open smoking at the resort so I might stay somewhere else)!

    I remember being let down from the beer and wine at an all inclusive before. I have never been much of a liquor drinker, but they really seem to stock up on that and forget about the wine and beer lovers! At least they make up for it in the food! Glad I wasn’t the only one who felt that way.

    ‘She’s Come Undone’ is one of my top five favorite books of all time. It DEFINITELY gets darker as the story progresses, but yes, aren’t the characters, description and writing just amazing? The most incredible thing about the book to me is that a male writer is able to so accurately depict a woman’s life and her reactions/emotions…. Ah, I could go on and on 🙂

    Love seeing the bites and drinks of your vacation.

    I just came back from Thailand where I had a fresh coconut like that with every meal. Best thing ever! I love that your vacation meals are still very healthy. Have fun!

    Both your breakfasts looked amazing! I like the idea of lightly toasted granola with milk and fruit – looks delicious, and how can you go wrong with banana pancakes. I think I’ll have to make some for… dinner tonight!

    The views, the pace, the food, all the pictures..thank you for sharing it all.

    Makes me feel like my vacation is still going…at least a little bit 🙂

    There is something about smoothies, too, when in the Caribbean that I could drink nonstop. But blogging about them in December when most people are shivering stops me from going too overboard but sometimes I just have to. Lol

    Glad you’re having a great time!

    Kath- Where are you getting your outfits? I’m loving the laid back adventure travel island look. I’m going to Mexico for a wedding in May and have no clue where to get some beach wear.

    Love the pic of Swim #2 in the ocean. I can feel the warmth of the sand and sun! Also, where did you get your dress from cocktail hour? It looks so comfy and cute!

    i don’t care for the coconut water drinks, but we hacked into a real coconut a few years ago, and it was so amazing! i haven’t done it since… it was way too tough. haha.

    I love cool little novelties like drinking coconut water out of a coconut! Those are the things that really make an experience!

    Ha, I guess you’ve never been to a Chinatown in a big city! Coconuts with a straw are a very popular snack from sidewalk vendors.

    She’s Come Undone is on of my all-time favorite books. You’ll love it! Enjoy!

    You look so pretty in your cute beachy sundresses! I’m bundled up in a huge sweater as I type this. Ha!

    Also. Now I want some lentils.

    Ok, so I’ve been signed off since Christmas due to a stomach bug and It took me awhile to realize what was going on, at first I thought “oh that’s nice Kath found a coconut in winter” and “hm, wonder why she’s wearing a dress in winter?….ooooh she’s not here” I’m a little slow but now that I see you’re in Jamaica I hope you and Matt are having a great time with all that great food and weather!! : )

    Matt and I have so many food interests in common: Bread, bread, and bread, and savory foods for breakfast! It’s like we were separated at birth, or not. 🙂 Everything you ate looks absolutely incredible! I must find an island to drift away to sometime soon!

    So, I am not sure about Jamaica, but my husband is from St. Vincent, and we have a pumpkin vine there…the taste of pumpkin there is just totally different… Much more squashy…slice, steam and add salt and pepper kind of squash… but I digress… Maybe u come to St. Vincent next time, stay in our guest house and have permanent tour guides??? Any excuse for a trip to the islands!!!! 😀
