Category Archives: Trinidad and TobagoI just wrapped up an outstanding work-paper, and started reading the news online. And discovered this article in the Trinidad and Tobago Express, about motorists calling for a warning sign on a particular stretch of highway. When I saw the headline - Motorists lobby for warning sign on highway ‘death stretch’ - and from the South Bureau, [...]
It’s a bit odd to me that I am posting a recipe for cheese paste, because if it’s one food item in the Trini repertoire that should be entirely freeform in its construction, it’s this ubiquitous sandwich spread. But I made it recently and I thought, why not? It’s more than just a sandwich spread really. [...]
I am coming close to missing this deadline of Click. I knew the minute the theme was announced what my Liquid Comfort was going to be. Hot Chocolate. But not just any chocolate, but Trini home chocolate, made from home grown cocoa, mixed with cinnamon, nutmeg and bay leaf. This was a regular weekend morning [...]
Sigh. Poor dog didn’t make it to Trinidad. He still has hope, though. Hope that one day he’ll break free. (Do I sniff dramatically here?)
Pearls Before Swine - Don’t Squish the Hat!
If ever I were to go on a cruise, I’d go for the ride. I’ve experienced enough travel to destinations with limited time to [...]
I 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.

Would it really take a chained up dog to dream of holiday-fun in Trinidad? At least he’s happy thinking about it…

Trini Kachourie is a like a fritter made from ground yellow split-peas (or our dhal) or even chick peas, and seasoned with the usual [...]
for all the good it did. For all the good it can ever do, putting your faith in this breed of beings called politicians. Sigh. Will there be change?
Well, I’ve done my part. My part in this first stage anyway. This should not be the sum total of “political” action by the electorate, [...]
Checking Voter Registration online
Did you know there was a website where you could check your voter registration in Trinidad & Tobago? I don’t know who VoteTTnow is, but they say the information is based on the EBC data. It is really cool, because now I know that I am in one constituency, while the [...]
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 [...]
