Here again I post another recipe involving baigan (eggplant, aubergine, melongene etc), even though, to be honest, baigan isn’t actually something I love. I don’t think I am unique in this attitude to baigan, my culinary blogger friend Cynthia talked about that in a recent post and column. I love apparently, many recipes using baigan. [...]

Niceness!
September 8, 2007 – 5:00 pm
More than a week ago, Ewe gave me a Nice Matters Award and said some blush-inducing things about me Yay. My first little blogging button to display. Isn’t it pretty? This is a good award to be the first, because I do believe Nice Matters. Being nice to people doesn’t take that much effort and [...]
Edinburgh, a visit home
August 22, 2007 – 12:05 am
Edinburgh, my home for a year, was my first port of call. I arrived after about 26 hours of traveling on 3 planes and 1 train. Not counting starting the trip from Guyana the day before. I always travel from these long trips out of Trinidad, which is still my homebase. If only I’d taken [...]
Chennette’s Fantastic Four (a meme)
August 17, 2007 – 2:47 pm
Trig tagged me for this meme and I thought it was a nice (easy) way to resume blogging after my (somewhat extended) vacation. Now, I believe the point and title of this meme is 4 answers to each question, so I shall try to meet the requirements…wherever possible. 4 JOBS I HAVE HAD IN MY [...]
Anniversary!
July 8, 2007 – 2:10 am
It’s now been a year since I first started this blog. I know, I know, the archives say it goes back to September 2005, but it doesn’t really. This blog came into existence on July 8 2006. A year ago today, Lilandra created my account at WordPress, after months of harrassing me and telling me [...]
8 Things About Me
July 6, 2007 – 4:27 am
Eight Things About Me. Yes, I have been tagged. What do I write? Ewe gave me no hints. Argh. I’m a lawyer, I need instructions!! Sigh. Well, I’ve revealed various food-related facts about myself before, so let’s make this not about food… 1. I cannot ride a bike. Yes, it’s true. My learning to ride [...]
Cameras en route!
May 15, 2007 – 6:06 pm
For anyone who was following the whole Nikon/Canon debate and the agony that Lilandra and I still had to endure, even after we finally settled on the D50/D80…the first order not going through in the US, the D50 that had to be returned to Cave Shepherd and the wutless tourist out there who bought my [...]
The Middle Eastern Connection
May 8, 2007 – 7:33 pm
Regular readers of my blog may have noticed the prevalence of Indo-Trini foods. And may have deduced accurately that I come from the Indo-Trini community. But the truth is, many of these so-called “Indian” foods are pretty much commonly made and eaten throughout Trinidad and Tobago regardless of family background. Just look at my Trini-Jamaican [...]
Going to the Oval
April 1, 2007 – 1:26 am
I am now in Guyana until Wednesday. My sister and brother-in-law bought cricket tickets a while ago and we’re off to the new Providence Stadium to see West Indies vs Sri Lanka. I didn’t know that this was the match that was scheduled for the 1st. I just chose between the 1st and the 7th. [...]
