I think I know what you are talking about... whenever I google Negril, Jamaica I see it... do they also advertise cliff diving? (Rick's Cafe???)

Thanks Tattrat and GB! I definitely plan to explore and will not be alone. I also have NO extra money, so even if I wanted to help out some panhandlers, I couldn't! Don't worry about turning me off to Jamaica! I asked for stories and I truly want to know the good and the bad! I have a strong...

So... it's freezing cold in Chicago, the weather's been terrible, I'm out of food in my house and I'm not motivated to be outside for any longer than I need to be - including the short walk from the grocery to my car! If you've lived in the northern midwest, you know! I've also been really busy...

I'm off to celebrate my 30th birthday in Negril, Jamaica towards the end of February. I know this isn't a place you could get to by "road" necessarily... but if anyone has been and has any great stories to tell, or secrets to share - I'd love to hear them!

I think I can imagine the blue cheese complimenting the sweetness of chocolate... and they both have a tart or bitter taste that would work together... I might have to try this! Just curious - how did you stumble across this concoction?

I don't eat very much meat - but I do love bacon! That sounds wonderful with peanut butter!

Growing up in a family of 3 boys, 1 girl and a single mom, sometimes our food selection was scarce and a lot of times what ever we had didn't go with anything. But we always had peanut butter. Peanut butter, bread and milk. In the kitchen at work today, a coworker and I were talking about...

With all the traveling I've been doing for the holidays - I have very little food in my kitchen. Have also been really busy lately so I ate out the last two nights. I didn't want to spoil my excellent work out at the gym tonight so I came home and cleaned and sliced up some celery and spread a...

Was at my brother's recording studio tonight meeting with his client who I'll be designing some logos for - so pizza, wings and salad were ordered in. One vocalist brought some homemade chocolate cake from her schools PTA meeting - that was absolutely the best part! Oh and the Spanokapita that...

Send them to a Bed & Breakfast.... or some other (affordable) weekend getaway.

Awwww! What memories! My mom used to make this by the truckload (I'm not kidding)! That and hot cocoa mix. They both would last us all winter. I didn't know anyone else knew about this Tang-y cinnamon hot drink. I just looked through her recipe box and couldn't find anything... if she were still...

I have one large glass one that isn't used much, and two smaller plastic ones that I place on top of a towel (so they don't slide around). I don't handle raw meat, so no worries there. A wood one would be nice and one day I'll get there! (oh so new to cooking regularly!)

I don't know the answer - but it got me really curious.... according to this website Red Raspberry:Bramble, Gauriphal, Reapberry, and Hindberry.Red Raspberry Extract.Rubus idaeus extract,CAS.NO.084929-76-0.Red Raspberry leaf extract.Raspberry leaf Extract.Wild Raspberry.soothing and relaxing to...

Thanks poppinfresh! I've been opting out of anything pre-packaged since I started cooking regularly for myself. I figure if I'm going to go to the lengths of choosing my ingredients (rather than choosing a meal at a restaurant), I might as well go for the gusto! I love pomegranates - so I will...
