Jamaican me Crazy! – A Tropical Beach Party
Come experience the brightly sun-filled islands of the Caribbean with citrus scents and by wearing floral leis and colorful sarongs. The tableware will perk you right up because of the flowers and bright colors and then make you want to lie on a sandy beach. Steel drums will entice you to limbo and dance around the kitchen! You'll cook a juicy tropical feast full of fruits and spices.

Music You'll Hear:
Caribbean music is a broad term for vocal and instrumental music with "tropical" flavor. It's Afro-Caribbean music and sometimes part Latin music. It features complex, syncopated rhythms drawn from traditional percussion and string musical instruments, such as guitars, bongos and steel drums. We’ll hear reggae, calypso, and punta. 

Menu You’ll Be Cooking:
I'll bring some appeteasers to tease your taste buds while we cook:
Curry Crusted Bananers with Orange Dipping Sauce: I saw it on Paula Deen's show. Butter, spice, naners. Whooodoggie.
