こんばんは。How’s it going?

One of our Christmas traditions is having nice big Jamaican food feast. Sometimes we enjoy it on Christmas Day, but this year it was Christmas Eve. Either way, it’s always delicious, with the main dish everyone is looking forward to being the curry crab. The sauce is my mom’s variant of Jamaican Run-down, with coconut milk, curry, and other magical spices and the crab legs go perfectly with it.

Besides the crab, we also had stew peas, rice and peas, jerk-chicken, jerk pork, callaloo greens, macaroni/potato salad, and plantain. In addition, my mom prepared a dish we don’t often have: Escovitch fish. Super yummy!

After dinner, we played Mahjong, which is another family tradition of ours. Of course, we play anytime we can, not just Christmas Eve. 😊
