It&#8217;s fun for me, too, to sit and read or talk on the phone, which I don&#8217;t have much time to do usually. But, the at-home chores definitely got neglected. So, I made a recent Saturday into a Kitchen Marathon! I made banana bread (via <a href=\"https:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/2020\/03\/ultimate-banana-bread\/\">Smitten Kitchen<\/a>), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/2020\/11\/25\/copycat-yumm-sauce\/\">Yumm sauce<\/a>, froze some of our U-Pick blueberry haul, cut up two melons, and made Jamaican Jerk Chicken for dinner! It was delicious. The impetus for making it was some plantains I&#8217;d bought a few weeks before, which actually weren&#8217;t very ripe yet. Oh, well. When I make this chicken again I will serve <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/2022\/05\/28\/pub-sweet-home\/\">sweet potato fries<\/a> with it instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jamaican Jerk seasoning:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1 Tbsp sweet paprika<\/li><li>1 Tbsp onion powder<\/li><li>1 Tbsp garlic powder<\/li><li>1 tsp dried thyme<\/li><li>1 tsp ground allspice<\/li><li>\u00bd tsp ground nutmeg<\/li><li>\u00bd tsp ground ginger<\/li><li>\u00bc tsp cayenne<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Season boneless skinless chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and sugar (to help browning). Then sprinkle with jerk seasoning. Cook on a greased, preheated baking sheet for 24 minutes, flipping halfway through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slice, serve with fried plantains and salad or slaw.
