Nick loves to buy fruits and greens and vegetables. But, fatarses that we are ever really get to eat much of it. He bought some bananas the other day that turned into mush about a week later, still uneaten. I should probably mention that Nick thinks there are 12 people living here instead of just 2. He buys like three bunches of bananas at a time.

Anywhoo, when life hands you bananas you make banana nut muffins!

My cousin, Marion sent a package from NY which I just burst out laughing when I saw. A while back, when still living in NY, her mom found some where that sells Jamaican fruit cake. I thought it was a travesty that anyone sells these things, because after growing up with a mother that soaks her fruits in rum for MONTHS, I could not imagine mass produced fruit cakes. Keep in mind that these are not the fruit cakes that Americans give people they hate at Christmastime. No, these could get you drunk.

So, knowing that I'm missing everything back home and am ready to kill Nick at keeping me prisoner here, Marie decided to send me a Jamaican fruit cake. I haven't cracked into it yet.
