THIS IS LIFE!

    Last weekend my mom, brother and I took a drive through some deep countryside, a journey that my late brother Sutcliffe took so many times in his life. It wasn't a long journey but as I looked at 2 of the pictures that I took these words crossed my mind - "Life is certainly filled with clouds and sunshine."

PUMPKIN SOUP - CREATIVE MONDAY LINKY

    Hello and welcome to Creative Mondays hosted by Clairejustineoxox and Judy H-J's Thoughts where you can link up all your creative posts each week.


RECIPE
     

2lbs (1kg) of diced beef or chicken
2lbs(1kg) of pumpkin ( diced)
10-12 cups (4-5 pints, 2.5 -3 litres) water
1lb (500g) yellow yam 
2 cocos
1 1/2 cups(1/2lb, 250g) of flour for dumplings
1 whole hot pepper (optional)
1 sprig of thyme
2 stalks of escallion
1 clove garlic
black pepper
1 onion
1 pk of soup mix ( optional)
      Place the meat, diced pumpkin, soup mix, thyme, escallion, onion, garlic and water in a pot.  Bring to a boil and wait until the meat is tender and the pumpkin almost disintegrated.  Crush the pumpkin further with a fork if necessary, then throw in the dumplings and peeled yellow yam and cocos.  Add salt to taste.  Cook for about an hour or until the yam and cocos are tender and the dumplings are cooked.  This should serve about 4 to 5 people.
    Saturday is usually a soup day here in Jamaica but of course there are some of us who have it whenever we wish to. My family and I have always been big fans of pumpkin soup especially Janine, Sutcliffe and me!

  From last week I started answering some questions that I received when I was tagged by some Bloggers. These came from Candice who has a wonderful blog Where Nothing Good Comes Easy.


1.What’s your go-to meal when you’re short on time?

A hot Jamaican patty and a box of orange juice.

2.What’s your perfect day?

A day when I feel totally at peace and happy. Sadly such days have been difficult to experience since October 16, 2008. Nevertheless I hold on to my faith and do everything to make it through each day.

A small screwdriver.

Originally I had 2 brothers and a twin sister. It is hard to believe that now I only have a brother alive.

5.If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live?

If I was to choose another country it would be the U.S.A. However I love living in my homeland Jamaica!

6.Do you speak any other languages?

No. I studied Spanish in school but never mastered it.

I enjoy being a writer but would not mind working in Public Relations.

The radio.

9.What’s your musical guilty pleasure?

A FAVOURITE QUOTATION!
