I am reblogging this post from 2013, one because it still amuses me when I remember our first sight of this graveyard decor, and second, the graveyard itself is in a beautiful setting in Belleplain. Third, it is the perfect entry in Jennifer Nichole Wells – Halloween Challenge.
This angelic shelf on a tree gave us quite a laugh…especially since it was mounted on a tree bordering a graveyard!

I didn’t experience eating plantains until I visited Jamaica. I have since learned to cook them as a side dish/dessert for family and friends. Plantains have good fiber content. They have more vitamin C and A than bananas, are a richer source of B-complex vitamins, and provide minerals such as iron, magnesium and phosphorus. Plantains contain more potassium than bananas. Cooking Plantains is an easy and rewarding task. The only additional ingredients I use are two pats of butter and some brown sugar.
Step One
Slice plantain on the diagonal.
Step Two
Melt two pats of butter in pan.
Step Three
On medium heat begin to fry in the butter. Brown on each side and check tenderness with a fork.
Step Four
Sprinkle brown sugar over plantains. Don’t be alarmed if the brown sugar falls between the slices and bubbles up on the pan. This gives the edges a crispy crunch of sweetness. Cook only until sugar is dissolved and begins to firm up a bit.
Serve and eat warm…very delicious!

We camped in Belleplain State Forest over a portion of the Labor Day weekend. It’s been humid and moist in the past few weeks and the mushrooms are peaking. Here’s a sample of New Jersey Pineland’s mushrooms and linchen.
