Wild Jerk continues to get better and better. Once again we received a lot of compliments about our new venue. The Special Pot – Pot Roast Wild Beef went faster than hot bread… well almost. Even though we did not have our regular crowd, I was thrilled that we got new customers who heard about our Wild Jerk and came running. Of special is the taximan Mason, who was carrying a customer who had just purchased some Wild Jerk. According to Mason the “smell of the pork did a mad mi and mi had to find out where it come from.”
We now have a new sponsor – Kaboom Energy Drink – more on that at a later date. Suffice it to say – For every serving of Wild / Special Pot you get a Kaboom Energy Drink, you can even mix it with your
favorite brew from the bar.
Next Wild Jerk is May 30th – see you there.

A relatively calm and sedate Wild Jerk
The new venue was a hit with those of you who came. And ... "de poke" sell "aff" by 7:30 pm - can you Imagine!?
The Wild Jerk Lava was a hit with the Digicel guys and other pepper connosieurs- "you know the ones who said that my Spicy Salsa (which made my ears ring, my nose and eyes water) was not hot." Well not so with the Lava - sniffles were heard going through the gate... and yours truly was grinning all the way. (Gonna have to carry more next time)
Now remember you can bring your group of friends and lyme Under the Mango Tree. Margot (the proprietor) is uber cool. Bring you dominoes, and games and make it an great evening with your friends and the Wild Jerk team.
Well as I said, it was a relatively calm Wild Jerk as the regular rowdy friends supported but did not stay. A few people were disappointed as the Cartwheel Dumpling was finished when they returned.
I have it on good authority that one person tried to bribe another out of their Cartwheel but without luck..their path was blocked and were told to "name their price" but they were not letting go. O well what can I say.
For those of you "cussing" me because I did not leave any pork for you..... if you don't order your pork I cannot put it down. Call mi pon mi "circular" and place yuh order.
Till next Wild Jerk - dat will be April 25, 2008 - one love

THAT'S A LOT OF BULL!!
Now I have been hearing tales about these wild cows that live in the hills and was surprised that we encountered one as they rarely come off the hill. According to the stories from the hunters, some people had to get intimate with a cassia "macca" tree to escape the charging bull. Rohan and I were a little ahead of the group so, since I was not a witness to the event I can only "spread the rumour" (with some glee, I might add).
We had to cut it in half and use two teams to pull it along to the river. Happily the crocs decided to stay on the other side of the wall.
Back at camp - merriment and celebration, picture posing , dogs sleeping from exhaustion..... and they decided to go back on the hunt. I declined - my shoes were wet and I was not in the mood for blisters. I thought the meat would be tough but everybody said it was surprisingly soft. I must check if we have enough from our share (it had to share with a lot of people alright?) to have a Special Pot. How does pot roast with potatoes sound? Sorry no crabs this time.
The rest of the pictures are on the gallery but beware - they are very graphic.

WILD AND WACKY WILD JERK
Anyway...next month I am going to make a special Wild Jerk LAVA Salsa in addition to the regular spicy salsa….we’ll see if it is hot enough then.
Now back to the coconut curried shrimp. Along came my regulars – Paulette, Edna and Paulette’s daughter Dana. So as usual I sat down to eat with them. I do not eat meat (hey I am NOT allergic to money – in case you are asking how come I sell Jerk Pork and don’t eat it), so I cooked some coconut curried shrimp for my lunch. There I was mopping up with the Cartwheel Fried dumpling when I noticed that my three guests were not paying any attention to their food but that all eyes were on me.
So I reminded Paulette and Dana that they cannot handle pepper. But their eyes looked so sad that I gave them each a shrimp, (my generosity knows no bounds). They SEEMED satisfied. Edna got the rest of the shrimp cause de Cartwheel “did full up mi belly” and before I knew what was happening .. Paulette pounced on Edna with her fork.
Edna screamed “mi glasses mi glasses” as Paulette speared a shrimp with her fork and as she tried to put her shrimp in her mouth. Dana used her fork to spear Edna’s shrimp from her fork…IT WAS CLASSIC….and I GOT PROOF.
Well a transformer blew up and for a moment it was Wild Jerk by candlelight. My thanks to Paulette et al who drove out to get candles for me … even if I had to pay them with pork. When they got back I was very busy and suddenly I was informed by Peter who later joined them that they are going to “block road” cause they not getting any justice and they made sure to spell it “JOSTIS” I asked why and that was then they reminded me that I had not paid them their “poke” yet. As you can see Red Stripe is still the favorite drink and the bottles come in handy during a power outage J
Well once again – it was over all too soon…we left by 10:00pm. But until next Wild Jerk look out for latest Wild Jerk stories.
THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF MY TIMBERLANDS
What’s left of my Timberlands.
Well I have done it again… completely destroyed another pair of Timberlands. I was told that they were indestructible but J apparently not. This one actually did more work than the last but I guess I walked over one set of honeycomb rocks too many and walked through one swamp too many.
Notice the left foot all “strapped up” J Guess I will have to get another pair. But at J$9000 per pair I need more Wild Jerk sales. Hint Hint!

WILD JERK IS BACK
It's been too long.. But we're back.
On Feb 29th we will be at our usual Lyming locale - the LYME KEY RESTAURANT - 2a CHELSEA AVENUE. As usual we start serving at 1:00 pm and go on "till de poke done"
Come by, "tek a sat" and lyme with friends. Enjoy the pork and de drinks and the new Wild Jerk Salsa (Spicy or Hot).
The latest hunting news is that we caught this really LARGE boar which almost decimated the hunting dogs so everybody now licking wounds etc. But dem want vengeance. Now that I am up and about again - I will be going on more hikes. Can you believe that I have completely destroyed a pair of Timberlands?.
I will also be doing a special on the Dogs of Wild Jerk as well as the new pups - The 2009 hunting pack.
Looking forward to your company. - Till later then
