1 onion

Stalk of escallion

Scotch Bonnet pepper 

Garlic

Sprig of thyme
Salt to taste

Paprika

Cooking Oil

Chicken liver

Bread crumbs
Blackpepper

Method

Wash chicken with water and lime or lemon, then pat dry. Season chicken with salt, onion, escallion, garlic, thyme and pepper.  Place some oil in a frying pan, cut up chicken liver and cook it with seasoning and bread crumbs. You can spinkle a little salt and black pepper in the stuffing.  After that stuff chicken then sprinkle Paprika and oil over it. Place in an oven for about 1 ½ hours.

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!
