Well who the heck knew?? No wonder my oatmeal tastes so yummy! Thanks Tom~

Tonight's chicken thighs are marinating in OJ, chipotles in adobo, a little honey and CBGR. Going to throw some Calypso Sprinkle in my rice as it cooks. Sounds like I need a rum and Ting at happy hour to start my weekend. In a painted glass, of course!

Ruth and Ron

I have lots of "Tings" but my favs that I make sure to stock up on each trip are the grill rub and Blind Betty.

Hey Tom it's been a while for you,thanks for the comments any trips planned for stj?

This went over well:

On island now, and stocked up on my fave: Cruz Bay Grill Rub. Got a couple of jars for me, as well as to bring back for friends/stocking stuffers. Also bought some nutmeg (to grate on our Painkillers in the villa) and Steve Simonsen calendars. The cute Texas gal behind the counter slipped a package of Jerk Seasoning into our bag, so now I am going to have to try that out. I am sure I will be back between now and when we leave next Tuesday...The store looks great, and we met Curly Spice (who had just returned from getting groomed, and was a little fluff-ball!) and chatted with Ruth and Ron.

You look hot enough to be a "Spice Girl"!

I like that Spice shirt; might have to get me one. But the one I covet most is the Beach Bar tank!

When we got to the Beach Bar (1st stop after getting off the ferry), I needed new t-shirts to replace the long sleeve cotton shirt, as it was chilly when I left CT. I wore the Beach Bar sleeveless shirt many days for the next 15 days... we are already plotting AND saving for our return trip.

CBGR, St John Style Cookbook, painted wine glasses, ginger peach tea, occupy St John tee shirt and St John Magazine. Had to come out of hiding to post this one. Thanks Ruth and Ron for having such a nice store.

Driving home from the airport, boo hoo, and its snowing

Favorite thing which I don't think has been mentioned are the sarongs. I love just getting up in the am and wrapping one on. They work great as a cover up, for going to the pool, for taking to the beach, for covering up in case your place isn't as private as you think!



I have a friend who's an island type, and bought ones for her and her daughter. And I bought myself a new one this year too.

Toni, I love that sarong! Will have to check that out next time!
