Last night we had Jerk Chicken with Cucumber & Watermelon Salad. This meal was just not to my taste at all. I am not really much of a fan of any of these foods, so to have them put together in one meal - well, I'll just pass. Nuno and Owen seemed to enjoy this dinner though. Owen had a chicken leg without jerk seasoning and an unseasoned portion of the cucumber and watermelon salad. I really am intrigued by jerk seasoning because it tasted pretty good. But if I make it in the future I'll have to find a way of grilling a skinless & boneless piece of meat (which to make it work is a near impossible feat, right?)
While I'm blogging about Everyday Food's take on Jamaican food, I have to mention about a new 'tropical' treat on the market. M&M's Coconut.
I'm trying to remember if I shamelessly blogged about my love affair with the new M&M's Pretzels. I never eat M&M's but I'm now a convert with the pretzel candies they just released. I was buying them in the US, but they are now available in Canada. But I don't think the limited edition M&M's Coconut are available here. I picked up a few packs on the request of my Aunt who had trouble finding them on a recent cross border shopping trip. I had a lot of trouble finding them as well. Target, Wegmans and Walmart didn't have them. Then on my way back home I took a chance at a gas station and there they were. The taste takes a little getting used to. At first I thought it tasted like Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen exploded on M&M's in my beach bag. But after a while I was getting a chocolate coconut tart type of flavour. Total novelty, like all candy I suppose.

Haha! I like your description of the taste of the new M&Ms! Funny, I was going to ask you if you'd tried the pretzel ones as they were sold out of those at Target and I'd heard they were good!! Maryanne
proving that it is possible to have a two parent 9-5 working family put a healthy homemade dinner on the table every single night.
