I Surprised Myself!

       
     If someone told me that I had to make a big change in my diet before I had to do it probably I would exclaim "Say what?!  I can't eat some of my favourite foods right now!"  Well, to my surprise in recent weeks I have adjusted with ultimate ease. I surprised even myself! Of course it was very important for my health but I have not been moaning and groaning about it.  These days I eat a lot more fish and one of my favourite dishes is Escoveitched Fish .  Ah, no wonder, I can still eat a favourite dish!:)

            

    Have you ever had to make a drastic change in your diet?  If so, how did you cope?

Easter Goodies - Creative Monday Linky

     My family and I have been enjoying the long 4 day Easter holiday weekend. It is good to see several of the favourite decorations that my twin and I always used to decorate our living-room.

   There are also the many Easter goodies that my family and I have been enjoying.  Happily everything turned out delicious:

Escoveitched Fish

        We eat a lot of escoveitched fish at Easter and like it especially with bread.  In a previous post I shared the recipe. It can can be found HERE.

Easter Buns

     Easter buns are oblong shaped buns sold by bakeries across the island. This year we enjoyed the 2 above which were made by Maxfield and Whitfield Bakeries.

Chocolates

     I still have most of the chocolate above.  I have been very good so I share them with my family whenever I have some.

    Our Easter Sunday and Easter Monday lunch - roast chicken with stuffing, curried mutton, rice and peas, potato salad, vegetable salad and baked ripe plantains and rolls.

ESCOVEITCHED FISH - CREATIVE MONDAY LINKY

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

 Escoveitched fish has always been a big favourite for my family and especially at Easter.

Pickle

1-2 cho chos chopped in strips

3 carrots chopped in strips

2 onions sliced

1 or 2 hot peppers

2 tablespoons pimento seeds

1 cup vinegar

1 tsp sugar

Wash the fish thoroughly with water and lemon or lime juice, then dry with a kitchen cloth or towel.  Sprinkle them well with salt and black pepper.  Heat plenty of oil in a frying pan and place the fish in the hot oil. Fry them on both sides until they are brown.  Drain them and arrange them in a container.

To prepare the pickle combine the vinegar, sliced onions, pepper, pimento seeds,sugar, oil, water, chocho and carrot strips and bring to a boil in a pot.  When the ingredients are tender remove from the fire and let it cool.  Pour over the fish.
