A Bahamian Holiday

The month of December is a very exciting time in Nassau. There is more than enough food to eat. Every where you go there is someone offering you a bite to eat. It's only the 11th day of December and I already feel like I've gained a couple of pounds. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but as we would we say "I've been eating like food going out of style!"

Today I baked a spiral ham along with mushroom baked pollock, jasmine rice and steamed cabbage. We started with an apple, raisin and mixed nut salad drizzled with sweet balsamic vinaigrette. We washed that down with Bahamian fruit punch, which is really a Bahama Mama without the alcohol. The icing on the cake was chocolate cake with raspberry filling and vanilla ice cream. That's just today. Yesterday I attended a party and there was unlimited food and an open bar. Wow wee! Friday night, out for "real" Bahama Mamas while listening a fabulous band. Fish Fry was the night before with conch fritters, conch salad and sky juice. Like I said, the month has just started and I don't know how much more my jaws can take. There's more food and fun to come!
