Miller Outdoor Theater
by Cheryl Adamson

"I love Miller Outdoor Theatre!" We hear that from so many people.


 I went to Dance Theatre of Harlem last year. I appreciated the diversity. The performance was beautiful, graceful, phenomenal, and exquisitely done.

 

I would recommend Miller Outdoor Theatre. It provides summer concerts, musical theatre, and other musical performances in Houston. It is always free. Chairs and lawn seats.

Ackee, a Jamaican Fruit 
by Jon-Michael Cameron

Fruit is closed = POISONOUS

To cook:
1.       Boil - 30 minutes so it opens
2.      Open = NOT poisonous
3.       On the inside you see:
Seed = black; Fruit = yellow
4.       Eat the fruit (yellow part)

Taste - depends on chef and spices

A common Jamaican dish: ackee and salt fish
