Seared Mahi Mahi
and Shrimp |
I've been off for a week! Off duty from cooking at home (which I mostly love) and off duty from responsibility! I'd love to make it all the way to
Brazil to see how our Dinner Club's last meal compares to the real thing, but for vacation this past week I did make it as far as
St. Lucia in the
West Indies.

Champagne with breakfast
every morning: A great
start to the day! |
We stayed in an all-inclusive resort so our meals were pretty much contained to that environment (with a very high food quality - I might add), however, we did enjoy a delightful lunch prepared by the local people on a tour we took one day. The meal they served included savory rice with beans, simmered chicken (in a sauce that was delicious, yet hard for me to pin-down on ingredients) and a pasta side.

Chicken and Spinach
Crepe with cold Chardonnay |
Our resort offered recognizable foods that were prepared beautifully and with thought to the seasonings of the
Caribbean. I enjoyed shrimp, mahi mahi, snapper, tuna, salmon and conch in addition to meats such as chicken or beef, all of which had the flair of spices and fruits that are sometimes unavailable here in
Nebraska!

I've posted some pictures here of just a few of the things we enjoyed. I'll call it research for future Dinner Clubs! Tomorrow, it's on to what's next for our March dinner. It's going to be great! Follow and see...
