Bowl of boniato potato stir fry

Boniato Potato Stir Fry

I love boniato potatoes and whenever I see them around I hop to eating them. They’re less popular here nowadays than they were when I was growing up. One lunch time at my mum’s house I pulled this boniato potato stir fry together into a delicious meal that she and I polished off in two days. It’s ...

Polish Beer at International Cultural Festival

The International Cultural Festival

You guys, last Saturday I honestly wished I was a cow because I didn't have enough stomach for all the food I wanted to eat. Cows have seven stomachs don't they? I needed at least two to be able to handle all the amazing food on offer at the International Cultural Festival. I came home and spent ...

3S Bakery Bahamian dinner rolls

The 3S Bakery Bahamian Dinner Roll

This is an ode to the dinner roll. The 3S Bakery Bahamian dinner roll, to be exact. We Bahamians aren't known for our bread, but trust me when I tell you it's good. We like our loaves sweet and pillow-soft. You won't find any sourdough or thick, crisp crusts in these islands. Places like Spanish ...

Ginger Tahini Green Smoothie 2

Ginger Tahini Green Smoothie

I first made this ginger tahini green smoothie from desperation more than anything else. Well, desperation is too strong a word, but I was out of peanut butter and really wanted to have some kind of a butter in my green smoothie. I wondered for a second if it would throw the whole drink off with its ...

Grits on the stove

Tuna and Grits

Tuna and grits is a classic Bahamian combination, appropriate for breakfast, lunch or dinner, but traditionally eaten for breakfast. When I was a student abroad it was a comfort food and a way to fight homesickness. Then, whenever I came home, it was one of the ways I felt welcomed and grounded. At ...

Strawberry Cream Scones | Rushin’ to Bacchanal

Ok, so for one, these strawberry cream scones are amazing. They’re little bites of delight that make you grin and reach for another, oh my goodness. I pinned them ages ago from Joy the Baker, and when I was looking for a more interesting breakfast goodie than banana bread, I knew it was finally time ...

There are two kinds of people in the world: those There are two kinds of people in the world: those that answer the buzzer on the building when it rings and those that don't. What kind are you? What kind am I? The answer's on my blog! Along with other ways Covid has changed me. How's it changed you?⁣

It’s my brother’s birthday y’all!! If you kn It’s my brother’s birthday y’all!! If you know me irl you know that I have two brothers, and that at this point in their lives they look like practically the same person. Can you guess which one of them this is?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you said Antosh, you’d be right! I can’t look at this picture of him without bursting out laughing. He sent it from an airport, and said 'No coronavirus formed against me shall prosper.’ 😂⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Antosh is thoughtful, trustworthy and tells you his opinions straight. He’s also incredibly hardworking - do you wake up at 4am to study things you’re interested in? - and lots of fun to be around! Basically he’s just the kind of person you’d want as a brother. I love you and I miss you Antosh! Hope you have the best day. ❤️⁣

Are you keeping track of the weeks we’ve been de Are you keeping track of the weeks we’ve been dealing with Covid? I am, and we (in Glasgow) are on week 30 of this alternate lockdown reality. Week 30!! Do you remember what you were thinking in week 4?What about week 12? Maybe you do today, but what about five years from now? ⁣
⁣
This month makes five years since Hurricane Joaquin battered the southern Bahamas. At the time, it was the worst hurricane to hit our shores in Bahamians’ living memory. Then last year Hurricane Dorian came along and wiped the memory of Joaquin clean out of our heads. Now we’re mid-pandemic. Didn’t see that coming either. ⁣
⁣
What’s my point in all this? Time keeps marching on, filled with the unexpected. If you’re not marking the important things that happen in your life, who are you leaving to do it for you? ⁣
⁣
To commemorate Hurricane Joaquin, I devoted an issue of the magazine Gumelemi to its impact. To keep track of these inside days I’m keeping a special Covid diary. Here’s my encouragement to you to document your own story. ⁣
⁣
This week on my blog - flip through the Joaquin issue of Gumelemi and read more about why it’s so important to tell your own story, especially if you’re a woman/from a small island nation/or otherwise in a minority group!
It’s fall y’all!!! 🤩🤩 I was prepared for It’s fall y’all!!! 🤩🤩 I was prepared for the spare beauty of winter and the winsomeness of spring, but not this enthralling autumn! I suppose because it doesn’t really snow here I wasn’t expecting much. I’m so happy to be mistaken! ❤️🧡💛
No words, just a full heart in my favourite park. No words, just a full heart in my favourite park. ❤️🧡💛
It's the weekend!!! Are y'all excited? Do you have It's the weekend!!! Are y'all excited? Do you have plans? I like to choose different neighbourhoods to wander around in to help me learn the city. This is something I like to do whenever I'm on a long trip or have moved to a new place. Bonus points if I can get myself lost!⁣
⁣
With so many covid restrictions lots of the other explore-a-place things I'd ordinarily be doing are off limits, so I appreciate these walks even more. I pick an area, sometimes based on an errand I have to run, and then hang around for a while, to see what I can see. That's how I stumbled on this charming lane, which I'd previously only seen in photographs. Now mine can join the catalogue. 😉⁣
⁣
What're some of the ways you get to know a new place? Or get to know your home better? I've been thinking about riding a bus all along its route, but they seem pretty short and linear here so I don't think that would actually be very much fun. Anyway, lemme know what you’ve got going on!
