Searching...

You may be wondering what I'm searching for, well I am looking for a new place to call home...again. How di one Stunner can move suh? Well as I explained, when I found the place that I am that I am not all that comfortable with it. I now feel that I have exceeded my tolerance level and it's time to find somewhere I can be comfortable, relatively, and call home until I can afford to sacrifice and buy my own. Or at least for the next two years.

So the process starts all over again, buying The Gleaner, sifting through the classifieds, tyring to find somewhere affordable in a good area with the conveniences I need, making several calls to prospective landlords, finding and inspecting the place, then doing it all over again until I find somewhere. Lawd, what a whole heap a work! Then when I do find a place I will have to start with the cleaning, the packing, the moving, the change of address stuff, utilities transfer, unpacking...Aahh! I hate all of this. But it is necessary to find some level of comfort and peace of mind. So I'm searching once again.

School is still stressing me out, especially major Project. The assignments keep pooring in, but it's the Major Project that has be really concerned. I'm still not getting the school vibes to do any form of work at all as yet, but I need to start doing some serious work. I am too far now to fail. Anyway peeps, take care till I drop a line again.

So Much To Do, So Little Time!

Busy, busy, I'm so busy! Yes mi bloggonians, I have been so busy for the past couple of days with school, work, business, personal life! Whoii too much to handle!

So school is on in full force, I have assignments to to hand in and labs to do and all are due on Thursday. Then there is the major project that I haven't started yet, and there is an initial presentation on the project in about two weeks time. This is also compounded by the fact that I honestly am not in the school mood as yet. I feel like I'm forcing myself up a steep hill. I feel so stressed! But I have reached too far to give up now, with the help of God I will make it through.

Anyway, mi nah tarry too long (I am not staying too long), as I am pretty tired right about now. I'll try to read your blogs throughout the course of the week and make a decent post as soon as I can. Until then enjoy this little clip called, "Dutty Wine Gone Wrong". Likkle more mi peeps and have a good week.

Patties Anyone?

Patties have been a part of the Jamaican cuisine many years now, and countless persons can be seen chowing down on a patty or two, and sometimes with it's side kick the coco bread, at lunch time all over the island. This meal is preferred by many, not just because it is a balanced all-in-one meal, but because it's a bit more economical than buying a box food or a combo meal at a fast food store.

For those who don't know a patty is typically seasoned meat (normally ground beef) or vegetable (calaloo or cabbage) baked in a crust. For many years the patty was made from beef and for the non-meat eaters their was the veggie patty, made from calaloo or cabbage mixed with carrots. However, the patty evolved when the chicken patty entered the market, but that was just the beginning of the patty explosion here in Jamaica.

Today, the patty evolution has given the consumer more choices that he/she can handle! No more boring beef patty for you! These days you can treat your taste buds and long bellies with an arsenal of different types of patties, which include:

• Beef Patty (stewed grounded beef filling)


• Curried Chicken Patty (grouned curried chicken)


• Stewed Chicken Patty (grounded stewed chicken)


• Mixed Vegetable Patty (Steamed vegetables)


• Lobster Patty (grounded lobster)


• Shrimp Patty (grounded shrimp)


• Power Patty (grounded , stewed soy veggie-meat)


• Cheese Patty (stewed grounded beef with melted cheddar cheese)


• Mega Patty or Full House Patty (stewed grounded beef with lettuce and tomato)


• Mega Cheese Patty (stewed grounded beef, melted cheddar cheese with lettuce and tomato)

Yes the patty has certainly come a long way, and with it's evolution it is still one of Jamaica's favorite lunch time meals. Suh if yuh in Jamaica and your belly growls for a meal and the pocket is a bit low, you can take your pick of one of the three major patty restaurants on the island, Juici Patties, Tastee Patties and Mother's Patties or at a tuck shop on the corner and grab yourself a patty and a juice! The Patty one of Jamaica's favorite all-in-one meal. Hungry? Patties anyone?

Windscreen Cleaner or Filthy Rich?

I know almost everyone of us who drives have come across a windscreen cleaner (window washer) trying to clean our windscreens for a small fee. I do allow some to clean mi windscreens when I need it and give them a change but there are some here in Jamaica that tend to just attack your windscreen whether you want it cleaned or not. Usually when they do that I just feel obligated to donate a few &@#^!*#&!

I have heard on a popular Monday night radio programme that these windscreen cleaners do make a decent change at times, even more money that a person in a so-called good job makes, on a good day. That leave you to wonder, could this video be a true story? (You may need broadband for this)
