Tower Of Babel

OK, nice Tuesday morning it is, just finishing breakfast before hitting the boyz room to prepare to head out. Yesterday evening, I wasn’t on call, had no private practice and so I had an early afternoon. Decided to go walking, first in about three weeks and then tried my hand at cooking some lobster. Basically did the meat with some garlic, onions, blackpepper, sprinkling of salt, and a touch of soya sauce. Wasn’t exactly restaurant style, but did the trick with some scalloped potatoes with grated cheddar cheese and some steamed veggies. A few glasses of Chardonnay made it even better…..btw, for those who don’t know, it irie nuh rass to have some wine while man inna de kitchen rustlin’ up some grub. Went bed at ’bout 10:30 and slept well…usually is the case after a good walk.

Well, the pic above is another one I took while in Bim…if I remember correctly it is of the west coast. If you can make it out, the likkle dots in the water are actually the heads of some dudes that were swimming/surfing…them waves were pretty large. Not sure if I had mentioned, but the Tuesday nite that we arrived, a drug company offered to take about five of us out to dinner…at their expense. So, off we went to AQUA. OOOHH LA LA! Very nice setting, right on the beach. As you enter, the bar greets you, has blue lights behind it and there is a frosted peice of perspex/glass in front of the bar. Nice. Eventually, we were escorted to our table upstairs which overlooks the sea. Lights from the restaurant shine into the blue waters. No need for any AC….

Now, after being served Evian and merlot (which turned out to be limited edition to blurdcleat!)…the waiter took us through the appetizers. See, when almost everything on the menu has a word or two that ‘ordinary’ people like myself have to be asking….’what is that?’…on it, you done know. Eventually, I settled an a seafood thingy which was nice. And for the main, I had a another mixed seafood asian curry. Forgot what I had for dessert.

We were all intrigued by the appearance of ‘curry ice cream’ on the menu and asked if we could have one scoop simply to try it. So, we did. We each took a smalls of the scoop of this strangely flavoured ice cream. Now, its not sweet at all, and essentially the ice melts in your mouth and then, boom! This absolutely disgusting uncooked curry flavour hits you…..it disgusting nuh rass! We all thought it was awful. The waiter says he personally finds it horrible as well, but he says there are folks who come there sometimes simply to have curry ice cream for dessert….weird!

I must have had about five glasses of the vino, it was excellent and so was the buzz. All I can say is that I was happy that is not me wuz a pay de bill……thanks to the company again for hosting us in fine stylee. Anyhow, it is time to flash.

I am going to end on a different note. Sad it is to see that this kinda crap is still happening in our country. These wrongdoers respect nobody, not even members of the clergy. Is there any hope in sight for Jamaica? Rass bwoy! I gone.
