Well, Melody's island tart got me thinking and I decided to dust off one of my tropical cookbooks. Tonight for dinner I made Jerk Potato Stir from Delicious Jamaica: Vegetarian Cuisine. For the recipe, I needed to make a dry jerk spice mix which I can use in future cooking endeavors. Yay!The recipe called for tofu, but I had some left over Soyboy sausages to use up. Potatoes and yellow pepper didn't seem like enough vegetables, so I added some baby spinach. If I lived in Jamaica, I would have added callaloo. Do you remember the Cosby Show episode where Dr Huxtable recreates the Callaloo Pot restaurant and the old chef comes by to make callaloo stew? No to-fu.
Later, I'll be making cookies for Tania.
Hope you all had a great holiday weekend!

The Jerk Potato Stir looks tasty. The Delicious Jamaica cookbook sounds great. I've never seen it before. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
Wow, are you just making cookies for everyone!?!
Vegan Diva - It is great little book. Though I have not tried enough recipes from it!
Leslie - This was part of the vegan cookie swap on vegginout. Maybe you want to get in on it this month! I'd be up for some raw cookies.
