Tonight we’re having a little Jamaican feast. I whipped up a jerk marinade this morning for chicken. And, I’ll be making peas and rice to go with the jerk chicken. We had peas and rice when we went to the Bahamas and the dish is similar to red beans and rice. The dish we had in the Bahamas used pigeon peas but today I’m using small red beans because that’s what we have. I guess the biggest difference in peas and rice and red beans and rice are the spices used and the addition of coconut milk. I haven’t figured out the vegetable dish, but the day is long yet.
This week is quite busy with meetings for school–regular class times and then meetings after class. The semester is winding down and that means lots of meetings so I can get my diploma. I’m really hoping we don’t spend hours hashing out things tomorrow night because in all honesty after about 8pm on a school night I’m pretty well toast. I hope our meeting is quick and to the point because I know I’ll just degrade the longer the meeting lasts. So what is billed as stressful will just turn into useless the longer we meet.
