Category Archives: photosWhile I didn’t get to tour the natural features of Antalya, I did make a couple short trips into the city and into the old bazaar areas. If you want a feel for the ancient in this part of this world venture into these winding cobbled and narrow streets, lined on either side by small [...]
My visit to Turkey was relatively impromptu. I was notified less than 2 weeks before departure and didn’t have time to research and prepare or even think about what I would like to experience and see in this exotic country. This planning is always important when heading out on a work-related trip - the meetings [...]
I have been back from Turkey since Tuesday night or so (didn’t get back to Guyana until Wednesday Thursday morning). When I set off on this trek, I knew I’d be blogging about it, despite it being a work trip. After all, I’d never been that far from the Caribbean and the idea of Turkey [...]
I had a plan for this NOODLE edition of Click! (the monthy themed food-photography event hosted by Bee and Jai of Jugalbandi), which involved sawine, Trini-style, as depicted here.
Of course, I wasn’t planning to use THAT photo which is why I had a plan to take some more artistic photograph of sawine, or vermicelli noodles [...]
Antalya Cat on the Wall

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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
