This post is inspired by a question posed to me on my Formspring.  What follow are the recipes for my drink and sandwich. Most would explain exact amounts, but that’s not how a Nicely or NNJ works. All is made to the cook’s liking. So use these recipes as GUIDELINES! After all, they were developed in a pirate bar…

Nicely

In a regular glass, squeeze or press half a lime, leaving the peels in the glass. Fill the glass about half way with ice, don’t be skimpy but don’t be heavy handed, you’ll thank me later. Pour a generous shot of coconut rum over the ice, it is recommended that one uses a double shot glass and fill it about half way. Fill the glass with coke and stir. Hold the drink in your drinking hand and regale your new friends with a humorous anecdote, whether true or fiction. Sip while the punch line settles in and enjoy with a Mr. NNJ.

Mr. NNJ

Make a roast chicken, using dark, Jamaican rum as part of the basting process. Shred the leftover meat into a Ziploc bag. If one does not want to roast a whole chicken, toss the shreds of leftovers in some dark, Jamaican rum. With these shreds make a chicken salad with some diced celery, diced apple, diced onion, mayonnaise (very little bit), lime juice, spices and jerk seasoning. Toss together and serve between two slices of rum raisin bread, Enjoy while sipping on a Nicely with the company of friends.
