Day five = pina colada pancakes to coconut panna cotta

Post by michigan girls »

Very windy this morning, but that helped today feel nice and comfortable. Started out with Sunday Brunch at Miss Lucys. I had the smoked salmon scramble and Sherry had the sweet potato hash. We shared an order of pina colada pancakes. The food was awesome, and the pancakes were sinfully good. Bloody Marys to wash it all down. Decided to head to Jumbie today, as pretty much all of the beaches were rough anyway. The path down to Jumbie is so pretty, it's nice to enjoy the walk to and from the beach rather than just endure it. The surf was high, but that made for some great background music and fabulous breaking wave photos (eventually I'll include these in my post trip TR). The water temp was not bad, and I really enjoy the shoreline there, as Sherry can be in full sun while I can be in the shade and we're still relatively close to each other. Took a nap and read for most of the day, pausing occasionally for picture taking and once to take a swim. After the surf started moving up to cover most of our section of beach, we decided to head into Cruz Bay for the afternoon. After killing some time at the Parrot Club, we made our way up to Fatty Crab for dinner. To start out we shared the salt and pepper squid and the Fatty sliders - both were good, but the sliders were awesome. Next came Sherry's black pepper mussels and my duck with coconut rice. Both were amazing. Packed up a lot of this food for later as we didn't want to be too full for dessert. Sherry had the lemon bar and I had the Panna Cotta, which I had been anticipating ever since seeing a photo of it here. It totally lived up to the anticipation. Sooooooo good, I practically licked the bowl. I was so taken with it, I totally forgot to even try Sherry's dessert - she assures me it was very good. Back across the island for the evening. Tomorrow is our last day before the walk of woe :cry:

Yes - you had me hooked with the pina colada pancakes. The rest was added delight.

Please post the, uh, food porn photos! And, of course, pictures of the surf. I've not been on island when the water was wicked.
