Look at what I ran into online this week (click for larger version)… Any thoughts?

LOL, this pic of my 6-week old Shih-Tzu/Poodle mix is too cute. He’d just finished playing with his squeaky ball and plopped down promptly to either: a) attempt to move it through telekinesis or b) dare it to move on pain of death! (Doesn’t matter that it’s larger than his head!) :)

A traditional Saturday dinnertime fare is soup. In almost every single Jamaican household I’ve been to (yaad and foreign), on a Saturday you don’t have to second-guess what’s on the menu. There’s a wide range of soups locals enjoy: red peas, gungo peas, chicken foot and pumpkin soup are just a few. Last week Saturday, I got a hankering for soup a serious, honest-to-hungry-belly, gnawing in my tummy feeling for soup. The problem is, my helper (bless her heart) was preparing soup in her typical fashion (like many other Jamaicans) thickened with cornstarch/flour and made with high-sodium Cock Soup mix – not in my belly. I enjoy lentil soup with a passion and decided that it would be lunch and dinner on Saturday last.

This morning I woke up to fog, overcast skies and LOTS of rain. Any combination of these factors is guaranteed to make me not feel like working! Looks like I’ll have to grab a cup of coffee to save myself. I hope the heavy rains don’t adversely affect too many communities.
