I originally intended to do one post with a review of several restaurants that I have visited in the past 2 months, since I don’t have great pictures for some of them. However, that post (in progress) seems to be getting a bit long, so why not separate them? That way when I revisit some [...]
Although I am still not regularly online, I feel like I have been neglecting my blog. So although I don’t have the energy to write anything particularly interesting, at least I can report on where I have been eating With pictures.
Champers Restaurant is off the main South Coast Road in Barbados, literally ON [...]
I noted with some small disbelief (but mostly acceptance that what-else-should-we-expect?), the post-Carnival chaos that Caribbean Airlines offered its customers. Better documented by Manicou.
I therefore faced with some trepidation, setting out on my flight with Caribbean Airlines last weekend on a complex route from Barbados to Trinidad to Guyana and return the same way (because [...]

See what my life has been like? Beaches and sun, relaxation and all-around good times. Like a dream. Well, that’s exactly it - a dream. A vague idea, that this would be the life that it would be nice to have at some point. But I am not actually living it now. Not just yet [...]

It took me a few weeks, but I finally made it onto an official Caribbean Airlines flight. It wouldn’t usually take me this long, since I did travel some usual routes during the period, but Caribbean Airlines has changed theirs!
I am still unclear on the exact new routes, but I do know that Trinis [...]

I sit here in Barbados, poaching wireless internet from some poor soul we have dubbed our Unknown Benefactor, but I don’t have at hand the materials for what was planned as my next post. As the last of my ‘Id ul Adha recipes, Malaysian Beef Rendang by Chennette was to find its way onto the [...]

Lest anyone think this blog is really Chennette’s Mom’s food, here I am posting a recipe for something that I worked out myself. Well, not completely myself. With contributions along the way, certainly, from Mom and my co-developer back in my student days.
You see, when I was in Barbados, I had the Bajan fish cake. [...]

I feel odd, not having been able to be online whenever I want, sending email, blogging, chatting, downloading stuff (stuff that shall remain nameless lest the wrong people think I am breaking laws of some kind…;-)) So, my last night in the hotel (or at least this hotel!) here I am. No meeting tomorrow, [...]

This is the last of my “Grenada” posts, I promise. I do have plans for other posts, mostly food-related, but my brain can only work in sequence, and I had planned to tell these tales in this order, and so I must. Even if it’s been almost 2 weeks since I left Grenada!
After the nice [...]

I started this post on the weekend…it was only going to be Part I so I stupidly typed it straight into the little box online, and lost it when the browser froze. Sigh. Anyway, to continue…or start again, whatever!
Last week I did some 4-island hopping but the most story-telling-worthiness comes from Grenada. First we start [...]
