    I live in a very rural area so I think the darkness at that hour kinda freaked me out, not that it was any darker than 6 in the evening but still :D

    reminds me of the day when I was new here that I wandered down the drive romanticising how deep the darkness was, then realised I had no idea where I was as it was so dark.... PANIC.. like being struck blind ...

    Currently preparing a Caribbean meal of rice and peas, jerk chicken, fried ripe plantains, coleslaw with roasted pineapple, vanilla ice cream with a rum and chilli syrup for dessert. Just the jerk chicken and roasted pineapples left to be done but as soon as I lit up the grill it started to rain heavily. Hopefully it stops soon as I went to an awful amount of trouble to find pimento berries yesterday. I plan to add them to the charcoal to try to replicate the flavour of jerk chicken cooked in a jerk pit.

    Ireland women are playing Australia tonight in the women's cricket World Cup and a group of us are getting together for a meal before the game as five members of our club are in the squad.

    I love the dense darkness in our rural area, where we have little or no light pollution.

    I had a friend here in 86 (not 96) with his very powerful telescope. All the neighbours came to have a look at the comet. One lady, then aged mid 70s, just couldn't see it and said "never mind, I'll see it the next time". Bless her, she didn't make it to 2000 let alone 2061.

    Pork fillet is in the oven with about 45 minutes to go. The smell is mouth watering. I must get the veg and potatoes washed and cooking soon.

    I did make jerk black eye peas recently, but used a jar of jerk paste. Couldn't possibly make my own! Recipe on budget bites.

    I've thought about it but I'm just a keen home cook with no clue about the restaurant business. Just preparing this meal for about 12 people has been a huge hassle.

    Strictly speaking, only meat can be jerked. That's why the controversy about Jamie Oliver's Punchy Jerk Rice erupted last summer.

    Just sampled the first batch off the grill and it's delicious but I suspect that it would be far too hot for most of my friends. I'll have to use an old trick to disguise how spicy it really is.

    If I could ever be lucky enough to be a guest, keep it spicy for me. I love the peppery kick of real Caribbean food.

    And yes, the meat does work, especially pork.
    But beans do too. To hell with food dogma!
