Negril, Jamaica

May 2012. Eight couples of college friends all turning 40 this year, a 16th wedding anniversary, rum, reefs, and a commemorative mix of reggae and its descendants, below.

 

We kept the spirit alive with a dinner party this weekend after returning home. Jamaican theme, of course.

• Shellfish watermelon ceviche (with scallops and shrimp, photo below)
• Jerk vegetables (summer squash, zucchini and mushrooms) and chicken skewers
• Red snapper in coconut curry broth
• Coconut lime rice
• Avocado, orange and goat cheese salad
• Appleton rum cake
• Mango sorbet
• Rum cream over ice
