JamaicaEats Magazine...Answer for the Lover of Island Food!

Hey Good People!

There have been a number of occasions that I have been asked:

"How do you make curry chicken?"
or

"Can you make me some rice and peas?"

Now, I don't mind every now and then sharing what I have learned growing up around my Jamaican family. But here is the thing...we eat and make more that just "curry" and "rice and peas"!!!

During one of my frequent trips to the record store, Moody's Records in the Bronx (NY), I saw a magazine that caught my eye - JamaicanEats. I thought it would be timely to share this with you as many of you are preparing or helping to create your menu for the holidays.


From the website:

"JamaicanEats isn't just for Jamaican and Caribbean people. With a glossary that explains some of the more exotic ingredients; it's a magazine for people who've been to the islands, those interested in the Caribbean, and foodies everywhere."


Check out their latest recipes here.....


Enjoy...and feel free to invite sista girl over to sample some of your dishes!!!

Essence...Still Getting Me in Trouble!

Hey Good People!

I recently received my copy of the recent edition of Essence magazine. I always smile when I look in my mailbox and see my Essence! It brightens my day. You would never know that one time this monthly ritual actually got me in trouble in college.

Real quick story....they year was 1994, it was spring semester of my sophmore year. I stopped at the mailroom on campus to pick up my mail before going to Spanish class. There it was...my copy of Essence along with a whole lot of credit card bills and a little care package from my sister. Even though I knew better I left the other mail and took the magazine along with me to class.

Big Mistake!

Well I thought I would hide in the crowded class room in the fifth row....way in the back. When the professor called on me...I was nose deep in the magazine. I was caught off guard with her question so I said, "Repita por favor?"

She was not having that...."You should pay attention..and not reading your magazine. Get out of my class!"

Yes, homegirl kicked me out of class- all because I was reading Essence! (There is more to the story but I shall not re-count my visit to the Dean's office for my sistagirl response to my professor. Let's just say, I got transferred and had to take my Spanish class in the evening).... My friend Michellene would love to tell you this story!

Any how, it is 2008 and I am still reading Essence and getting in trouble....in a good way - depending on how you look at it! I smelled the sample of Carol's Daughter new perfume, Pearls.

Heavenly! Beautiful!

I immediately went out and purchased it at Sephora (without coupons!). I love it. I had been so disciplined in watching how I spend my money in the this delicate economic market.

I broke...I had to have it....

Maybe you would love it too...so I share this link with you!

Enjoy!

P.S. One day I will tell you the rest of my story about my Spanish Class!

Tony Rich...Exist

Hey Good People,


I hope this post finds everyone well. I wanted to share with you that I love Tony Rich's new album. I saw him perform recently at the Thurgood Marshall College Fund Annual Awards Dinner recently. In short....the album is hot! R&B is on a roll...those who were out of the picture are coming back strong!

Tony Rich's new ablum, EXIST comes after a period of personal reflection where his delving into other aspects of the fine arts has resulted in a deeply personal yet relatable collection of eleven songs including the lead single "Part The Waves." Fans will be treated to Tony's photography and artwork in the album packaging which was created entirely by his hand. (excerpt from Amazon).

BB&B - Give me back my money...

Hey Good People!

I wrote some time ago about using the coupons at Bed Bath & Beyond as part of my economic stimulus package. I was going through one of my many pocketbooks that I use during the fall/winter and I found an old receipt from BB&B for a little over $200. I thought to myself about trying to see of the store holds up to allowing customer to use current coupons to readjust old receipts.

I had seven 20% off coupons, current and expired. I took the receipt from February 2008 with my coupons in hand and headed to my favorite store.

I went to customer service and said, "Give me back my money!"

Nah, I am just joking.

I politely said that to the woman behind the counter, "I would like to adjust my receipt with these coupons. " She said, "OK". Simple.

After looking at the receipt to do her magic and pressing a number of keys into the machine. It was a science and she had it mastered.

"Ok, we owe you $56.85 and it will be returned to the credit you used for the original purchase. Sign here. " The woman was happy to give me back my money!

Do you know how much ice cream I could buy??!!!

Well I am going find the other old receipts to so I can get some more money back. Do you have any coupons I can have? Sista girl is trying to further her economic agenda!
