3 Ingredient Chocolate Shake

 "Feast of Saint Valentine"

Next to hot chocolate, a milk shake is the most common of the chocolate beverages. However I was sure no ice would be blended in this shake. 1 I don’t have a powerful smoothie blender, and 2 don’t you hate when the ice and other ingredients settle and separate? Yuk, so I came up with this simple recipe that is beyond easy using no blended ice. Best part is you already have all the ingredients…hopefully

Rum and raisin roll cake

"Christmas is coming".

In Jamaica rum is as synonymous with Christmas as that baby in a manger. Its in so many desserts and drinks that are consumed in the season; sorrel, black cake, egg-nog, and rum soaked raisins. The latter is a long standing Jamaican tradition. Households are always stocked with sealed containers full of raisins, prunes and currants soaking in rum from the previous year. There are two types of rum cake. The white rum cake (basically vanilla cake soaked in rum) and black cake or fruit cake, which is made with the addition of the blended rum soaked fruits (and then soaked in rum).
