Jamaica Vacation Part 3 – Tuesday

This was a great day. We were in the lobby and overheard the receptionist telling someone about a local restaurant for real Jamaican food, not a tourist place. Of course, I jumped at that, and we tried it out. It’s called Sweet Spice, and it’s located to the left of the circle (from the main [...]

Hawaiian Kona Coffee. 100% Pure Coffee Paradise

I have talked before about how much I love Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, but this morning my brother and I put on some Kona Coffee we had just picked up. It was fantastic. I still love Jamaican Blue, but this was something else. Now the Kona was the top of the line Diamond Private Reserve [...]

Jamaica Vacation Part 2 – Monday

I have not been posting very regularly here. It has been almost 5 months since my vacation and I only have one day posted. You can find the rest of our trip to Jamaica here. On Monday, we did almost absolutely nothing. Sort of. We relaxed. There are many vendors on the beach selling everything [...]

Food and the Beach in Negril, Jamaica

With just around a month until our trip to Negril, Jamaica, I am really getting anxious. It’s hard to concentrate at work when all I can think about is the clear blue Caribbean water, jerk chicken and no work for a week. It doesn’t help when I find a blog post from someone who is [...]

The Top Ten Most Exotic Beaches in the World Part 1

Yes, I know what you are thinking. You’re thinking, “How can anyone even know that?” Well, you’re right, no one can. But hey, these are some pretty good beaches, and very popular too. For a beach to be exotic, it has to be different. It can’t be like every other beach you’ve ever been to. [...]

St Kitt’s, St Bart’s are Feasting on Waves with Alton Brown

I was watching Alton Brown’s Feasting on Waves the other night. It sure makes me wish I could go sail the Caribbean. The idea of the show is that they have two catamarans, and they are sailing from island to island to find true authentic Caribbean food. That is my kind of show. To start [...]

Swimming Holes, Traveling, and Feasting

A friend of mine sent me an interesting site the other day. It is a list of all the ‘swimming holes’ and hot springs in the US and Canada. I know, it’s not the beach, but when you want to go somewhere in nature, and the beach is too far away, sometimes this is just [...]

Eating Seafood in Newport Rhode Island

I said I was going to talk about my vacation to the beach, but while I was there, I didn’t really want to do much of anything. Except go to the beach of course. Then when I got back, I had to get caught back up in work. I haven’t been to Newport, RI in [...]

Things To Do and Places To Go in Newport, Rhode Island

The other day my wife and I decided that we really wanted some seafood. So of course, we head to the nearest Red Lobster. I was never more disappointed in food that I was there. I got a meal that had a Maine lobster tail, scallops, and shrimp. Nothing tasted any different than the other. [...]

Jamaican Food Recipe, Chicken Rundown

I love Jamaican food. I think I’ve mentioned that before, but I really do. To me, the spicier the better, which is why I love jerk so much. My wife is not so much into the spicy food as I am, but she does love good jerk chicken. When I buy my ethnic ingredients, I [...]
