After working until 1:30 this morning, I called down to tell them not to clean my room until in the afternoon. I knew I was going to try and have a good night's sleep. I turned on the AC (I normally sleep without it), locked up the windows so no sound would come in, and fell asleep in no time.
When I woke up, after a terrible dream involving a Grenadian ortho doctor who works in Jamaica (you'll hear about that some other time, if I remember), the first thing I did was look at the clock. 10:37!!! Yeahhh. I had slept for about 9 hours. Splendiferous.
Now it was time to cook. At the market yesterday, I bought white yam, onions, garlic, escallion married with thyme (you can hardly get thyme separate here), seasoning peppers (very flavourful but not peppery), okras, pumpkin, tomatoes, sweet pepper, my beloved plantains and grapefruits. Then I went into Foodland and bought saltfish, oil, one mango juice and I saw veggie mince.
Breakfast this morning was one of my favourites. Saltfish with all them seasonings I mentioned, boiled yam, fried plantains and tea. I lazed around for the whole day. Working late last night was to ensure that I didn't have to work today. After movie watching (I watched all of HEAT with Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro for about the 20th time!) I said I would go to the beach, but sadly it rained.
I was supposed to cook the veggie mince, okras, pumpkin and oh, I forgot I bought sweet potato as well, but I felt too lazy after the supermarket trip. I therefore ordered steamed fish with vegetables instead. And it's waiting on me, so bye for this week.
Oh, a note about Robert DeNiro....
That man is fine, fine, fine. I sat there salivating at him. I would entangle myself with him in a heartbeat. And I hear he likes women of colour too. But lawks the man was darn sexy in HEAT. Brought out the heat in me for sure.
So cooked breakfast and a hot guy made for a perfect Sunday.
