ago... it's just that the name tends to put some people off...

People are weird. I think it's the bones more than anything.

Or maybe the visible fat and gristle... tasty parts, actually, but
some people think them gross...

It's a little ... strange. Of course, add enough Jamaican curry and serve it over rice and I'm in.

It's only meat... :) Just because it comes from the tail..... ;)

Genie will sometimes spook if you look at her cross-eyed.

Spook's not quite so bad.... just careful all the time... ;)

She doesn't freak out if there's food involved, at least not
as much. As long as it's food she likes.

Always some catch... ;)

If it's fish, no sale. I have discovered she'll eat human chicken. Cooked of course.

Our two aren't keen on uncooked fish, chicken or meat... but generally
like it all once it's been cooked... even with some spicing... :)

Around here, if I'd be willing to eat or taste it raw, the cats get the
same opportunity... Had they caught it themselves (ok those animals are
a bit big for them to bring down on their own), they'd've eaten it raw,
or gone hungry... ;) The other cats we had that did catch mice often
ate at least a portion of their catch... ;)

A friend at church told us about another Caribbean restaurant that had
opened near where he lives (at one time there was a sushi restaurant in
that spot called Blue Ocean, that we had gone to a few times), so we
tried it out on Sunday... We didn't try their oxtails, but Richard had
the pulled pork with mangu and I had the baked chicken with their rice
and beans... both of us had the homemade mango juice... and flan for
dessert... Figured that would give us a pretty good idea if they were
any good or not... Food was decent, a little different from our usual
place, not quite as good as what we usually get... but we'd go back
there again...

Our friend had said it was Jamaican food... but it wasn't hot spicy at
all, more like El Latino that does Dominican food, which is tasty but
not really spicy... :)

Sounds OK. We used to have a really good place that was mostly

Not really... just a little let-down, when we were expecting Jamaican,
and were sorta hoping for another good one to add to the list...

He didn't; he got his head snapped in one trap and the death roll
apparently got his tail caught in another one. Or possibly the
reverse. Either way, one mouse, two traps!
