Honeymoon!

I don't think that we really could have asked for a better week.

Everyone has been asking for details and pics of our honeymoon to Paradise Island in the Bahamas! Although I am not so willing to cough up a lot of the details, I will share some picutres!

Out of the 8 days that we were there, 7 of them were spend at the pool, soaking up the sun and drinking bucket after bucket of Coronnas. One afternoon, we decided to take the water ferry from Paradise Island to downtown Nassau. Jeff was trying to help me shop! He looks like a lot of help, huh? Maybe one too many Goombay Smashes at lunch!

Thanks to JR. our driver for the week (not quite sure how we ended up with a driver...), we have discovered only the most fabulous bar, maybe of all time! It is called the Green Parrot. This is view from the dining area, which, might I add had a sand floor. It was actually at the Green Parrot that Jeff and I contemplated the idea of him selling bait for a living and me braiding hair, so that we never had to leave.

One of the 3 nights that we were there, we were lucky enough to catch the sunset.

It is almost too beautiful to be real!!

WHAT A VIEW??!! This was from our room--the whole place was amazing!!

The second night we were on a mission to find a place to eat and watch the Pistons game. On this particular night, America's Team lost by 25 to Philly, but not all was lost. We ordered dinner which came with two sides of your choice. THere was a long list to choose from, but I saw the word Macaroni and I was sold. I ordered a double. A few minutes later the owner of the restaurant broke the news to me--they were out of Bohemian Mac and Cheese. Although I was extremely upset, he told me that if we came back later in the week, that he promised that there would be some. I waited all week...

Well to make a long story short=) the Bahamian style mac and cheese is my new favorite thing. Here is the recipe...

Bahamian Macaroni and Cheese

8 oz elbow macaroni, cooked

1 tbl onion, finely chopped

1 tbl green pepper

1 can evaporated milk

1 tbl celery, finely chopped

6 oz Cheddar cheese

1 dsh pepper

salt to taste

Method: Add the onion, green pepper and celery to the macaroni; stir. Add one half of the cheese and stir over low heat until melted. Season and stir in evaporated milk. Spoon into a well greased baking pan and sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350:F for 20 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes and cut into squares to serve.

Enjoy!!
