best of my shopping trip

i just walked 4 km from the resort to king's road.  it was dirt, there
were cows, very hot, beautiful views.  took some pics. fun.

then i stood on the kings road for 5 minutes.  that part was worse
than the walk.  then a bus from the resort (called the feejee
experience, they have these in NZ as well, basically a backpackers
bus, goes all around the island calling at resorts, all inclusive,
really retarded and for lazy people) picked me up.  that was nice of
them.  i sat across from this older australian lady who was amazed i'd
walked the dirt road, more amazed that i just figured that a bus would
show up on the king's road.  then the bus took me to this town where
i'll grocery shop (i kind of want to cook, i guess i already said
that).  and of course it all worked out, and in under an hour and half
i bet.

jergins, Thursday, 26 November 2009 05:55 (sixteen years ago)

when does the mango go in?

jergins, Thursday, 26 November 2009 05:55 (sixteen years ago)

(fry masala in butter to start, then add onions. stir around until onions are all limp. cut chicken into pieces, dry off on paper towels if possible, put in to fry w/ spice+onions. when chicken is starting to look done - depends on size of pieces, maybe 15 min - add mango pieces and simmer for awhile longer.)

jaq, Thursday, 26 November 2009 05:58 (sixteen years ago)

if things look iffy, or sort of burny, after you put the chicken pieces in, add a bit of water.

jaq, Thursday, 26 November 2009 05:59 (sixteen years ago)

tjread to send good wishes to people trying to cook

jergins, Thursday, 26 November 2009 06:04 (sixteen years ago)

jergins, Thursday, 26 November 2009 06:13 (sixteen years ago)

you're not gonna guess, huh. oh well, it'll be a surprise.

lxy, Thursday, 26 November 2009 06:25 (sixteen years ago)

you picked a rum you've never tried before coffee?!???

jergins, Thursday, 26 November 2009 08:45 (sixteen years ago)

turned out pretty decent. the mangos were waaaay underripe
which gave it a nice zing

only one burner. chicken was om the bone which i didnt realize. masala powder pretty grainy. worked tho. thx jaq

jergins, Thursday, 26 November 2009 08:51 (sixteen years ago)

oh man i ate so many mangos this summer it was great

spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 26 November 2009 13:37 (sixteen years ago)

lxy, Thursday, 26 November 2009 16:37 (sixteen years ago)

cuz coffee, yeah. rum, yeah. but i dig a man who digs butter.

lxy, Thursday, 26 November 2009 16:40 (sixteen years ago)

i vote all

max max max max, Thursday, 26 November 2009 16:42 (sixteen years ago)

(full disclosure: i wavered between rum and butter before choosing. and i somehow missed coffee on the list or i woul've had a 3-way waffle.)

lxy, Thursday, 26 November 2009 16:42 (sixteen years ago)

which, by the way, is my breakfast suggestion for any morning readers: 3-way waffles.

lxy, Thursday, 26 November 2009 16:44 (sixteen years ago)

small shells are a great type of pasta

spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 26 November 2009 16:48 (sixteen years ago)

tehresa, Thursday, 26 November 2009 17:33 (sixteen years ago)

spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 26 November 2009 17:41 (sixteen years ago)

jergins, Thursday, 26 November 2009 22:39 (sixteen years ago)

tehresa, Friday, 27 November 2009 04:36 (sixteen years ago)

coffee is my guess.

estela, Friday, 27 November 2009 04:50 (sixteen years ago)

i hope so because i had to vote for butter but i want coffee to get its due.

estela, Friday, 27 November 2009 04:51 (sixteen years ago)

not coffee!

tehresa, Friday, 27 November 2009 04:52 (sixteen years ago)

coffee (instant) btw

jergins, Friday, 27 November 2009 04:54 (sixteen years ago)

estela, Friday, 27 November 2009 05:13 (sixteen years ago)

jergins, Friday, 27 November 2009 05:18 (sixteen years ago)

i am impressed bc i thought nestle had spread nescafe all over the world. glad to see there are still some nestfree places.

tehresa, Saturday, 28 November 2009 01:45 (sixteen years ago)

ha that was the other choice (i purposely avoided)
nascafe is insidious

jergins, Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:30 (sixteen years ago)

i have never had instant coffee and i have only observed euros and africans drink it

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:32 (sixteen years ago)

oceania ppl drink it and so do i here but it's pretty terrible

jergins, Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:34 (sixteen years ago)

south americans also drink it.
and coffee syrup/extract mixed with hot water. it is yuk.

tehresa, Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:35 (sixteen years ago)

do antarcticans drink it?

spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:36 (sixteen years ago)

no! they'd get freeze dried supersealed bags sent down on a ship once a year. already ground. kinda stale. still better than instant

jergins, Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:43 (sixteen years ago)

euros love instant cafe which is so weird to me because many of them are also coffee snobs!!!

max max max max, Saturday, 28 November 2009 14:48 (sixteen years ago)

max max max max, Saturday, 28 November 2009 14:48 (sixteen years ago)
