BBQ Weekend




Saturday: was awesome. My friend Tiffany and her husband Bill came over for the Jamaican themed bbq. With a few phone calls to my mum to find out how to make certain things, everything came out great. Pictured is the fish dinner with plantains. I didn't take a picture of the jerk chicken but it came out good as well. Tiffany made Berry Mojitos which were so delicious especially after we broke out the firepit and just enjoyed being outside. It was really nice to enjoy our hard work.

Sunday: Danielle's mom and sister came over for hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. I was so groggy from some medicine that I took last night that I wasn't exactly the social butterfly but I think they had a good time. Gracie came over for a day visit. It was the first time being away from her mom and siblings but she did good. I'm realizing how much work she's going to be. Slice wanted nothing to do with her and instead of sitting in the window like he usually does, he spent the afternoon sleeping upstairs.


TTC: Danielle is doing good. She's handling the tww like a champ. No anxieties, just waiting for me to hand her an htp when the time comes. Even though she would like to get a bfp this time around, she is surprisingly realistic that the chances of it happening the first time around are slim. Wow, I wish I had that same thought process back then.

Jamaican me Crazy- It's Friday

It's finally Friday. Thank you Jesus!

It's suppose to be nice tomorrow so we are going to enjoy the fruits of our labor from last week and bbq with some friends. I plan to make:
  • Jerk Chicken- It's a spicy season rub that you put on chicken, fish, or pork.
  • Salad to counter the spiciness
  • Plantain
  • Grilled fish with mango salsa on the side.
  • Maybe some tropical fruits for dessert to go with the Caribbean theme which I just now realized I had. Jamaica is not really known for it's desserts. They eat a lot of fruits such as papaya, guava, pineapple, mango, etc.
  • Limeade- same as lemonade but with limes. So delish
  • And because I'm not ttc- ALCOHOL!!!!!!!!!! Yummy frozen alcoholic drinks. Sorry Danielle.
