Comfort Food Needed....Now!

I want some Caribbean food, and I want it now!

I was going to order some goat meat online the other day and make my own, but Gigi started gagging and stuff.

Down in the USVI, there is a little place called Smokies. Everyday they have the best food that makes Gigi gag, but I love it. Oh to have a jonnie cake, meat stuff jonnie cakes, smoked herring and rice, goat water, ox tails etc. This all is island comfort food at it best.

The ladies that cook this food laugh when I order. They are surprised that a tourist from the mainland likes this stuff.

I checked all the local Caribbean places here and the menus are nothing like what I need. There is more to Caribbean food than jerk chicken.

FYI, many butchers can get you ox tails if you order them. I've even seen them in the meat section of Publix. My mom used to make ox tail soup, though I wouldn't eat it. It's an English thing.

Reg, you're jonesin' for Caribbean food because your body thinks its in, or should be in, St. Croix. You planned to be here in May, then postponed it, but the body knows...

You're probably feeling all creaky and and outta-whack too. You're missing your may massage from Terry, the body knows...

Just hang in there 'til September buddy. Meantime, we'll see if we can MedEvac some goat water to SC.
