Yaads

Being here in JA, is great but you do miss some of the foods and drinks that you are used to eating and drinking at home everyday. So, today we are going to go into New Kingston to one of the Hotels and I am going to get an American meal. If I could find a starbucks I would be happy too, but I know no such luck, so I will just settle with an American cheesebuger or pizza. If they have italian I would settle for that aswell.

you can take someone out of the states but you can't take the states out of someone.

So true. I don't ever crave American food while in Jamaica...but I do get tired of chicken (not a big fan of it anyway)...so as long as I can get fresh fish (steamed/fried/grilled), lobster and veggies I am good to go.

As long as I got some saltfish I am good to go Great there we go talking about food again...this thread is so bad for my waistline

Good Morning ladies! Not a good day today. Thanks for all the wonderful compliments. Jakeswife, cheer up...husband soon come. Do you have any family in the States? Glad to see you around Honey. Happy birthday Foxy Roxcie. I think I have forgotten some things, sorry.

Sorry your day isn't good Hope it gets better soon

Nah. Pretzel sandwiches, salad and cake for me today.....birthday lunch here. Woo hoo!

???

Honey Sorry you are so stressed.

Hey Rox - glad you are having a good time in JA. Happy Birthday tomorrow

I'm so emotional today for various reasons. Damien is leaving Thursday morningg to attend the funeral in JA he didn't want to go but I thought it was best.

Add me to the lovin' Tacori list. I will never have one but a girl can dream. As for the engagement ring question...I don't care if it's fake or not...just don't turn my finger green

Good Morning Hope everyone is doing ok today

WOO HOO!! Just got home and checked the mail and my NOA1 came! The journey has begun! Now we just gotta be patient.

Woohoo! Congrats

Girl Thank you! I have enough boobies to last a lifetime. I certainly miss my B cups before kids.

Ok so this reminded me of something I have always wondered about. Do women always get bigger when they are preggo/have the baby? Like what if you are already a D cup? Do you go into the E's/F's when you get preggo?

I think so...but a LOT of women shrink to less than they had before after giving birth. I wasn't so lucky. I was never a fan of huge dumplings.

Hey Mrs. Palmer.

That doesn't sound good at all. I am already too big...I hate my chest size but I was "blessed" from puberty

I can't imagine getting any bigger Let me sneak another "con" into the breeding list.

Where you able to get another appt?

Awwwww I am so excited for ya!

OMG What is with all the green bean casserole haters?

Seriously though...does anyone really eat that cranberry sauce stuff?

okay, i haven't tasted greenbean casserole, I like green beans but not that well.. Yaads I need to get some of yours so I can see what I am missing..

Never tasted it?!? I am not a huge fan of green beans either which is why I use french sliced green beans...smaller cut. Definitely changes things. It isn't hard to make...the recipe is on the back of most cream of mushroom soup cans. Like I said the key is the french slice beans, lots of pepper and lots of the fried onions I make it even when it isn't Thanksgiving

Well does everyone have a messenger service of some sort? Like Yahoo IM? We could do conference chats with that program. If we were to do a chat it would have to be after 5pm PST weekday or on a weekend for me to attend.

Oh #######! I was feeling pretty good today. I just sneezed without my brace...it felt like something snapped! OOOOOUUUUUCCHHHHH!@!!

GIRL!!! Don't make me come over there!

Lord...I hope that you are talking about the dressing that is prepared from cornbread, celery, stock from boiled turkey necks/giblets, eggs, etc then stuffed into a CLEANED turkey cavity to cook with the bird. I first thought was that you thought the turkey came with the dressing already inside of it. EWWW...then my mind went to the nastiness that has to come out of the turkey prior to cooking it. Yeah...my dressing will never be stuffed inside of a turkey.

yes that would be what I am talking about...the dressing that you stuff into the bird after it has been cleaned out The inside of a turkey really is gross

LMAO! Of course I am How old yuh tink mi be?

90?

Not too far off

Thanks Kimmy and Sus. As you can see the twins look nothing alike my sister had the nerve to say she wanted me to take them back because she wanted matching twins

Morant what did you do to the 4 year old to make them bite you?

Sus I have decided to quit procrastinating. (at least for today)

I posted all my vaction pictures to the Yahoo group photo album

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JA_USLinkUP/...t=5&dir=asc

Sol, do i need to join the group to view the pics?

yeah you have to be a member. PM Ms Squitto or send an email to the administrator of the group...it will go to her.

Oh yeah I know how that goes. You could always ship the baby up to me Our house could use a reality check on what it would be like to have a child

yaads, tap di madness and gwann breed fi dat man!!

LOL So yuh a go pay fi ie an ting? Mi a wait fi tings tuh be more stable...mi nah go rush inna anyting...mi young

Not that young!

LMAO! Of course I am How old yuh tink mi be?

So would this be meeting here on VJ and just all posting together or trying to get together on a chat system of some sort?

BOAL

Mi haffi put on mi funny hat an come back

O Yaads your sweet....Believe me you'll probably want to send her back. She's in that whole "terrible twos"stage so yeah she's not too fun right about now. She goes to a home daycare and I think the lady's kids have a bad influence because she says "shut up" and hits ppl. I just now got her out of throwing food at the dinner table. Pray for me yall lol

Wha?!? Wow...mi sorry fi yuh Hopefully you can break her of those habits.

Okay yall have a good day. I got do some work Have a great day

Nice chatting Have a good day!

I have only seen people put something in the turkey on TV.. i know its done but never seen it.. soo Yaads, is it the cornbread dressing that me and jawi are talking about.. u prepare it and then put it in the turkey??

ur right food can be so complicated when coming from different regions, i have become so smart talking ot u guys LOL

To be honest I have no idea what it is that is put in the bird My mom does that part...I will have to ask her.
