Rum For You And Two For Me!

(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)

Well, what can I say kids... it's the old adage "Work hard, play hard"; And we believe in it whole heartedly.  

I mean it comes down to do you work to live or live to work? It's time to live a little. Close up that computer, hang up that phone and let's have a little rum... what'd ya say?

Let's say we spice it up with a little Habanero grilled fish, of course some rum to wash it down and some party tunes to celebrate our time away from the daily grind. 

Keep calm and party like a pirate...

The pots are on!

The Plate... 

Habanero-Mango Mojo Grilled Rum Fish

Love fresh grilled fish and Man... you know we love it spicy. You can really use just about any kind of white fish here, but we really love Grouper. You can also try this with pork... pretty tasty. 

What you need...  

4 (6oz) grouper
2 1/2 tbsp black peppercorns
12 whole cloves
3/4 cup white rum
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 1/2 tbsp lemon zest
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp vegetable oil
lime wedges

1 1/2 cup cubed peeled mango
1/4 cup dry white wine (pinot grigio)
2 tbsp orange juice
1/4 onion/ chopped
1 1/2 tsp habanero pepper sauce

What you do...

Mix together Mango, wine, onion, orange juice and habanero sauce and set aside.

Heat your grill to medium (about 450 degrees).

In a skillet add peppercorns and cloves, and cook for 1 minute.

Then place spice mixture in a grinder and finely grind.

Place the mix back in saucepan, add rum, sugar, soy sauce, lemon zest and lemon juice.

Bring to a boil then reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for about 25 minutes.

Oil the grates of the grill using the oil.

Brush the fish with the pepper mixture and place that side down on grill.

Cook for about 3 minutes flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes on cooler part of grill (not directly over coals).

Baste with pepper mixture.

Serve with Habanero-Mango Mojo on top and garnish with lime wedges.

The Playlist... 

Captains & Pirates

Remember, as our friend Marty Nickel says -"As the rum went down things were looking up".

Well as we sip our rum we put together a little collection of some old and some new tunes to help you remember the things in life that are important... relax, be thankful and enjoy.

Love Jack Johnson and Dave Matthews take on the old Jimmy Buffett classic "Pirate looks at 40" and then of course Jimmy reminds of taking advantage of every minute with "the Captain and the Kid".

Lot of good stuff... just have some more rum and "Bang on the Drum All Day!"
