Looking back, we really had a carrot-ful day.
!LOL
At my parent's we had soto ayam almost every Sunday and after some time my mother switched it up with meals that take a bit more time to prepare.
That stewed chicken is looking juicy and tender and I've heard so much about rice and peas from the Caribbean, which makes me more curious about the taste. Oh and I actually like soursop, not just the juice, but also the fruit itself 😅.
@tanjakolader That Soto ayam soup is really good. So happy you and @rarej gave me the recipe. The weather is changing here. It's getting much cooler. Soon I'll start making some soups to keep the family warm. Saturday was the soup day for us in Jamaica. Thanks re the chicken. I think you’d love the rice and peas. I feel like anything with coconut milk is good. 😂😂
Really? You like soursop? When I go back to Jamaica, I hope to try it to see if my taste for it has changed. I’d just have it because I don’t have access to it now. I can see my self frowning a bit. 😂😂
Oh and I forgot, there's even an ice cream vendor who sells soursop flavored ice cream, which is divine.
Haven't had soursop in years. Sundays were great dinner, family, church says in Jamaica.
Yes, if no other time, the family sat together and had good conversations over dinner. That was a great start to the week. Seriously though, cooking Sunday dinner was like a project. As a family we'd have to decide who's doing what. I was often on salads and juices, my sister would do the rice and peas but would also help to make the marinade from the night before. Dad would break the coconuts for the rice and peas. Mom cooked the poultry or meat. I think my brother did the dishes(I must call him and ask him what he did. Somehow it seems vague 😂)
I think we can fairly say Jamaicans are patient on Sundays if no other time. Sunday dinners take a loooonng time. Church wasn't for a short time either.😂😂😂We had to prepare a part of the dinner before church and finish up when we got back from church.
@fruityfruitz! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @bearmol. (1/10)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
Well damn... Prepare a part before church and do the rest after. There are indeed some churches here that have sermons for hours, but thank God the one we went as a family doesn't do that.
We would usually also buy one meal at the church (every Sunday another sister prepares a dish to sell as a means to raise money for the church) to keep us good and then my mother could take her time preparing our dinner.
Oh, and I think some families in USA also make a big deal out of Sunday dinner. There's a movie about it. Can't remember the title though.
I’d love to watch that movie. Yes, Sunday dinner was a big thing and church was held for long. It’s lovely when meals are provided. 😃
I’d love to watch that movie.
Found the title: Soulfood.
I remembered that Vivica A. Fox, Nia Long and Vanessa Williams starred in the movie.
