Cooking in at the Villa

[XOXO]

We also bring a cooler and we have never regretted it. I haven't ever used the ice--we just freeze it and fill the cooler on the way out. We have brought the cooler on wheels that is bigger and checked it. Also, we have used the insulated bags and thrown in on a carry on when we did carry on only (just meat that time). Both worked. In addition to meats we have thrown in frozen dough, bacon, cheese, and frozen juice concentrate. No problems.

Right now omaha steaks is have a good sale/promotion. The only thing we haven't liked are the franks.

Greenskeeper, ciguaterra is defintely a concern. I try and minimize my risk by only purchasing large open water fish such as tuna and mahi mahi. My understanding is that your risk of getting ciguaterra is greater if you consume fish that inhabit the reefs, such as parrotfish, triggerfish, snapper, etc. John's aunt had a terrible case of ciguaterra poisoning some years ago from eating barbecued barracuda in Jamaica. She was sick for about six months.

When we were on Virgin Gorda in February, there was parrotfish for sale at the market.

I asked one of the employees about ciguaterra and she waved off the concern. Then I asked our taxi driver (who I am guessing was 60+ years old) about it and he claimed not to know what I was talking about but did say parrotfish was his favorite fish of all time.

We weren't brave enough to try it, with a little kid I didn't want to risk it. And then there was the "cute factor"....
