Jamaica, Mom

 

The unofficial 5th member of the Ford family stopped by this week to do another country.  Nana took over our country night for the second time.  This time instead of cooking she brought us yummy takeout from one of her faves....Rumbi's!  She brought her Jamaican facts along and Ayden even let her put the pin in our map.  BIG honors! 

 Here's what we had:

• Jamaican Jerk Chicken Rice bowl 
• Voodoo Chicken Salad
• Calypso Spinach Salad
• Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich
• Key Lime Pie
• Jamaican Rum (Which we never ended up opening, but I have every confidence it will not go to waste)

Nana had some great facts too!  For example:

1. Many Jamaican believe in witchcraft or "obeah".  These beliefs include an evil spirit known as Rolling Calf that comes out to haunt people at night....creeeeepy!
2. In restaurants Jamaicans will ask if you are "having it" which is their way of asking if you are dining in.

Thanks for doing Jamaica Mom, we always have fun with you around and can't wait for your next country pick!  It has defiantly been nice having friends and family take over lately, but I am totally ready to get back in the game!  Ayden's pick is next, lets go ask him.  Madagascar?  Yup, wish me luck.
