First Race Back Home in NY

June 1st, 2012

My first race back home in NYC. I ran 1:49.17 and felt great doing it! Finally healed from various injuries and with a month of great training, my body was fit and rearing to go. Here, I even took out faster than the rabbit! I'm so excited about the next couple of meets!

The Camera's a little shaky, but you can still recognize me in the front, in the navy looking uniform.

Another Delicious & Healthy Meal

Yes! I cooked this delicious plate of food above. The contents are:
Rice & Peas (Black Eyed Peas, and White Rice cooked and flavored with salt, coconut milk, and 1 Scotch Bonnet Pepper)
Salt Fish & Butter Beans (Seasoned with Sweet Pepper, 1 Scotch Bonnet Pepper, Onion, Tomato, Adobo seasoning and Coconut Milk; the Salted Fish that I used was Cod Fish)

A meal like this is high in carbohydrates, protein, fiber and packed with plenty of vitamins and nutrients. I also like to add brown sugar to my cooked food, so a little of that went into the Salt Fish and Butter Beans (try it!)

Darryll the Chef!

Yeah that's right, your boy can cook. With some help from my hall mate Stephanie and a few calls to home, I prepared some of my favorite dishes. Tastes just like my Momma made it!

The one on top is Ackee and Saltfish, with boiled yellow yam, Irish potato,  plantain and dumplings.
The one on the bottom, is Saltfish, with callaloo and cabbage, rice and boiled green banana.
