Greetings one and
all! It's a holiday season and I know you missed the news and reviews
from JA Jungle Juice, currently reppin' GA. So maybe this is GA Jungle
Juice? This time we tekking a trip out behind God's back (also known as
Union City GA). BBQ set to start at 4pm, but man, its 95 degrees outside,
so dis Caublasian and SupaLei (JAJJ in training) decided to push out when
it was a little cooler. Is all good, we got there in the daylight (praises
be to daylight savings time) and headed in to an already bubbling fete.
Apparently the masses didn't have the aversion to heat we had (or they
had work the next day).
Now if you used to
the reviews you know we did again walk wid we bellies, but line did long,
so better tek a drink fuss and see who did deh deh. So yes, this session
was true to Atlanta Caribbean form. Jamaicans on the left, Trinis on de
right and the small islanders in-between. I run up inna every group practice
me accent. Oh Gosh! Oh yes, and dominoes did in de mix (it's not a Caribbean
event without dem bones). Of course I didn't get to play, but I'm not
bitter, probably wasn't that exciting anyway!! (Sour grapes anyone?)
Yesssssssssss line
ease off. Quick trip to de food. And it did not disappoint. The pelau
came highly recommended. Big Ups to de chef! Oh yes! And that macaroni
and cheese. Delightful! No carb avoidance here. Unfortunately, they were
quite out of BBQ chicken, but SupaLei found the solution, hound the grill
master, who indulged us with extra well done pieces. Mmm Mmm Good! Big
ups to the men that offered laps for us ladies in the white skirts - Of
course you could have just gotten up and given us the chairs, but you
still get points
no grass stains here.
Drink Review? De drink
of de night was 'Bush Tea'. One by one people abandoned their original
drink choices for some of that Cruzan Rum. Lemme tell you it has now been
added to my drinks list. If you haven't tried it, GET SOME! Of course
tips had to be added to the tip jar. As I did walk wit mah two empty hands
(I feel so disgraced), cash had to be dropped. Thank you to everyone who
brought liquor or dropped some cash. Everyone else, THE SHAME!
As it got later into
the evening, the food was moved aside for some dancing in the garage,
and some reveling by the cars. More than once Wasi had to direct people
back onto the lawns and out of the streets (how we did forget we weren't
at home).
So a few hours later,
after the rum wore off and new friends made, it was time to call it a
night. Saying quick goodbyes (so it took about ½ hour) we were
on our way back into civilization. Looking forward to the next one. And
I Promise to get a new camera. JJJ/GAJJ out.
