Yardies at home and farrin (part 9)

Ladies...I want to make sorrel for my family for Christmas. Where can I find the sorrel sepals? Do they sell them in regular stores, or do I have to go to a specialty store? I'm in NC and am not aware of a Jamaican market around.

I buy them online from Sams247.com since we don't have anything local either. Good luck in your search

So I just check out the fertility calender and emailed the link to my SO and told him these are the days he is not allowed to touch me! His respond is mi must si mad!

My cousin doesn't know how it happen and she couldn't believe it, she had a blood test done and they told her she didnt believe it. Went home took 4 pregnance test all positive she still nuh believe so she went and did an ultra sound, when she saw the pic thats when she belive. I asked her what BC she was using so mi make sure mi nuh use that one. She said it has been working for 10 years so she dont know what happen... She calling it the miracle baby

So mi nah tak no chance, mi ting say mi a joke wid him!

Yaads...I found a recipe for 2 liters of sorrel. It calls for 1 lb of sorrel...will a 5 oz bag of sorrel be enough, or do I need more bags? I am NOT a cook and metric conversions aren't my thing!

Get 3 bags if you are going to make 2 liters. 16oz = 1 lb So 3 bags should work.

Jamaica is so much fun during Christmas. Boxing day. What is Boxing Day anyways?

[^KK^ 3]

Boxing Day is a traditional celebration dating back to the Middle Ages, of which the primary practice is the giving of gifts to employees or to people in a lower social class. The name has numerous folk etymologies[3].
