[Laurel]

Lord God ... I sat on Friday viewing all Jazzie's food and fambalee fun photoz ...

my belly crying out for Yard Food ... willing a next reach to come sooner ~

I leave my building to go find the bus to carry me home, and WHAT DO I SEE???

just across the street from my office is Orchestra Hall - lot's of outdoor music offered thru the summer months ~ food vendors setup ~ the Rib Fest sometimes happens in that courtyard as well ...

I smell a familiar scent - and one lone food tent and table is upon the bus stop corner -

with this sign flappin in the big wind ...






I leave my bus to pass by - and rush over to the tent & table to check what is going on?? JaJa Food???

it turns out there was to be some sort of music fest in the courtyard, but it had been canceled ... all the other typical food vendors had gotten the cancel notice, but these Jamaican Foodies had not, so they set up anyway - hoping to sell some food to those passing ~

YEAH - my tastebuds and belly are happy with joy!!

Mister comes from St. Ann and Missie is from Clarendon - they have been around here for several years ... no set restaurant ... they do their mobile set up around at various events ...

Oh Hell Yes ... set me up with whatever you got to offer ~

my Friday night supper was a really nice (for Minneapolis) Jerk Chicken, a nice portion of really good Curry Chicken and heap of rice n peas ~





This couple MUST have thought I was some sort of pathetic!!! getting so excited over a JaJa Box Food Dinner.

Mister wanted me to hang there to eat it, but I had to get home to my little pet ... they had no bag fi wrap to carry it, so I pulled out my own ~

can you believe how much I enjoyed that food???

**sigh**

Re: inspired by the recent JAZZ-FEST ~

oh that food looks great Laurel!

we have a couple of jamaican restaurants here and The Real T'ng Cafe has a big buffet on Friday at lunch time

the closest i've had to Curry Goat here is from the Indian (East) restaurant - it was very good but not jamaican

the world fair here had some good food - the africans were cooking oxtails - but they looked totally different from <span style="font-style: italic">any </span> oxtails i have ever seen and it was too hot that day to want them

Re: inspired by the recent JAZZ-FEST ~

no - sadly I never did think to ask for a card. I begged them to tell me where their restaurant is so I can come again - but they only cater to this sort of event ... various music fests, outdoor things -

I will make the effort to seek out more 'FESTS' tho ... and hopefully will be able to check them again -

YES ... the food was some sort of GOOD!! really good ... Bwoy was gone so I got to eat it all myself!!

it was such a delightful treat!!

This is hilarious. You go Laurel.

The curry chicken looked extremely tasty.

Maybe if you search for festivals in your area, you might find them again. Glad you enjoyed the food.

here, they mounted a brave initiative to sell street food from other cultures. there's a jamaican street food vendor at king/bay (central financial hub).

i do have to wonder how that curry goat holds up in the 30 degree celcius weather we've been having

Pepps .... it was funny ~ 'just happen to carry my own scandal bag'

the scent of my food was making the others in the train &amp; bus be checking my direction ... ~ it was all I could do to keep my fingers outta the box!!

I certainly will be checking for them around ...
