Where Chennette visits Glasgow, and ends her vacation. And the vacation blogging.
There’s always a football match going on in Glasgow. Loads of people crowding into and singing on the Metro. Chanting and drumming on the streets. Kilts, tams and red wigs flowing around and almost overtaking the tourists. And visibly increased police presence. Every day. [...]

Down South to England, Part II

Where Chennette visits Cambridge and the family Ewe.
Part of my London trip involved a day trip to Cambridge to visit Ewe and her family. Especially to visit with the new Baby Boo. I took the tube all by myself from Stratford to Liverpool Street, where there were hourly trains to Cambridge at a special rate [...]
Down South to England, Part I

Where Chennette visits London.
I traveled from Edinburgh to London by train. A trip that’s a little less than 5 hours and one I have taken only a couple times before. Whenever I tell people at home that I studied in Scotland, or the UK, if they haven’t been to Scotland, they tend to assume that [...]
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 [...]
The Alton Brown Burger
August 18, 2007 – 1:55 pm
The plan was to blog, ever so briefly about my vacation, or even try to clear some of the backlog of posts I have started. But, you know the enthusiasm comes for the most recent activity. In this case, that’s the making of the Good Eats burger, courtesy my favourite person on the Food Network [...]
Some Food From Guyana
July 11, 2007 – 1:47 am
While this is not really one of those draft posts awaiting publication, I thought as I was going on vacation out of the region, I could highlight a few dishes I have had recently that are part of my Guyanese foodie experience. I think I have previously delivered somewhat of an ode to my favourite [...]
Taste T&T 2007
May 28, 2007 – 3:35 pm
Well, I made it to the Taste! Reporting a bit delayed due to travel and no internet. But as Lilandra and TriniGourmet reported, we had a plan, we bought tickets and we made it on the Saturday - May 26 2007. All pictures (not with the D80, as I never had time to read the [...]
Stuffed Eggplant Recipe
May 13, 2007 – 11:37 pm
This is typical of the way I cook. I get an idea in my head. I search for recipes. Find many that seem interesting, but hardly ever do I just pick one and follow it. Not when it’s something like Stuffed Eggplant, where recipes abound. Greek. Italian. Vegan. Almost every chef on Foodnetwork has a [...]
Fruits in Season
May 9, 2007 – 9:15 pm
I spent last weekend at home in Trinidad, and there were a few fruits on offer that I was fortunate to catch in season. Most of these pictures are from last weekend.
Sapodillas!
I love these, but I never seem to have them that regularly. Now that we have access to our tree it’s great. Hope there [...]
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 [...]
