Room with an Ocean View, Montego Bay, Jamaica

This fabulous view of the ocean is from one of the bedrooms of the beautiful Jamaican Georgian style Rose Hall Great House near Montego Bay. Legend has it that Annie Palmer, who owned in this house at one time, was a "white witch" who murdered three of her husbands. This was Annie's view from her bedroom...

A ~ Z of Marvelousness: Z is for Zucchini

Zucchini

• The marvelously versatile Zucchini is from Italy. The French call it "courgettes" and in South Africa they're picked very young and called "baby marrows".
• The Zucchini plant grows extremely fast and if you plant two Zucchini seeds, you should be able to have enough Zucchini for family of four for a season. 
• I can't wait to take pictures of the beautiful yellow Zucchini flowers and make a yummy Zucchini Flower Tempura afterwards (hopefully from this little seedling on the picture).
• Here's a couple more recipes: Zucchini Bread and Zucchini Fries

A ~ Z of Marvelousness: S is for Spice

Spice

• I took this picture at the marvelous Spice Souk in Dubai, UAE. 
• As you approach the souk, the aroma hits your nostrils. I had to practice serious self control not to go wild buying every spice imaginable. I left with some lilac Frankincense in a round silver jar that smelled divine, Saffron (to make pretty yellow rice) and pieces of chocolate that looks exactly like little rocks...going to Spice Things Up a bit!
