Carribean delish

Well, it wasn't really warm enough to feel like the Carribean at our last cooking club gathering, but we still managed to have some tasty treats!

We enjoyed:

• Jerk chicken nachos from Michelle
• Pineapple salsa from Jill & Jonathan
• Shrimp & scallop bruschetta from Katie
• Jamacian jerk chicken from Chad & Karen
• Pork stew from Phil & Rose (forgot the name)
• Tobago rice, cinnamon, cardamom & coconut milk dessert from Amanda

I will post pictures soon! Also, for those of you able to, send me the links to your recipes - now that we have some ex-pats watching from overseas and beyond, let's share the recipes when we can!

Next month ... chili cook off on Nov. 17th!
