But i was just wondering if we have that or anything similar to it in Trinidad cause i can't remember having anything sweets like that except for that yellow cockset looking thing? Dear Chennette,

A friend bought it for my parents, possibly in the market in Chaguanas, but I'm not sure...somewhere in Trinidad there might be more. it’s a rotary grater – you screw it on to the side of a table or bench and then it cranks with a handle round and round while the “blade” part makes short work of the coconut.

But in the madness sometimes you get little snippets of interesting links - so I don't look for order (which my linear mind will not find) but just like popping into an ongoing conversation to see what's currently up.

Cograts on the twitter thing. I think. It will never be my thing since I have difficulty with short sound bites of conversation. Looking at it all makes me feel like I'm in a crowded room and everyone is talking at the same time-makes my head spin. I'm not so good with large groups in real life more of a one on one kind of person. I am on facebbook tho but like you for keeping in touch - keeps my phone bills down. I don't poke, farm, send virtual gifts, drinks etc So now you’re a twit LOL. Cograts on the twitter thing. I think.

I was drawn to this because I remember that this is how my grandmother cooked. No recipes just amounts that she could eyeball. As I become more experienced as a cook this is how I cook as well.

I had the good fortune of visiting this magnificent falls a few years ago on a visit to Guyana. The tank bromeliad that grows in that area is one of the largest found anywhere. Good post.
