Category Archives: ChennetteI all prepared to continue posting about Turkey, particularly the food, tonight, but in the meantime, your Pearls update: the guard dog is still heading for that cruise to Trinidad.
Pearls Before Swine - Panama Hat
Would it really take a chained up dog to dream of holiday-fun in Trinidad? At least he’s happy thinking about it…
Pearls Before Swine is one of my must-read comic strips. The friendly fierce guard dog is apparently going on a cruise. To Trinidad. I hope not Trinidad, Cuba, then the point of this post and its relevance to my blog may well be obliterated.

Just thought I’d share, as I [...]
As of a few minutes ago I got the call from Lilandra that we have a nephew. After two nieces, we now have a little baby boy in the family. I know no more details and I am headed to work, in Guyana. The baby was born in Trinidad of course. Niece #1 has a [...]

I am an Aunty again! My sister in law had a baby girl yesterday morning in Trinidad, who from all accounts looks like her father (my brother) and perhaps also like the little girl who until yesterday was the one and only niece, and the one and only grandchild. But I am sure she won’t [...]
It’s a bit later than I intended, but given a choice between restfully enjoying Eid at home in Trinidad and using precious hours and the family bandwidth to blog…I chose the celebration But we took pictures, so there would always be time to blog at our leisure. Lilandra beat me to it anyway. Darned [...]
Lilandra and Chennette are tired. But we had a good day preparing for ‘Id ul Fitr. Which is today. Happy Eid!! We made things with sugar. And spices. And even a special dinner for the true beginning of any ‘Id day, which starts at sunset.
It is a Sunnah (practice of the Prophet) to break the [...]
I just returned from a completely unexpected visit to Curaçao, one of the 5 islands of the Netherlands Antilles. The Netherlands Antilles, although being part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, is located in the Caribbean Sea, comprising 2 groups if islands: Curaçao and Bonaire, just off the Venezuelan coast, and Sint Eustatius, Saba and [...]
