About Me:

I am a professional writer, and the first of my generation in my family born in the United States. With ancestors sprinkled across the sparkling waters of the Caribbean, my thoughts are of childhood memories -- spices, scents, flavors, textures -- all brought to America to delight my senses, and those I surround myself with.  In these hard times of struggle and uncertainty, these are the memories that spill into my mind. These are the thoughts I bring to you -- in the form of story telling, recipes and other tidbits that make up my wacky little universe ... Welcome!

Update:  I just earned my first PENNY!  When I saw that, I almost peed my pants!  My grandmother always used to say, if you've got a pulse, you've got a purpose!

My first book has just been published and distributed independently. THE BAJAN'S GRANDDAUGHTER is the story of my grandparents' journey from Barbados, West Indies to America in the 1920, memoirs of growing up in their household, and a collection of old time Caribbean recipes. Please feel free to check it out and explore your senses. Message me for information on how to obtain a copy.

Have a great day, everyone ...

Great history


on Sinfully Aphrodisiac Cupcakes on 4th, Mar 2010

Did you really mix a quart of ice cream into the batter? Just wanted to confirm before trying this! Sounds delish indeed. Thanks.

Great recipe



for Anne Lowe: THE First Lady of Style on 11th, Feb 2011

Thank you, Deborah -- I am (very) honored to have heard from you. My grandmother (also a great seamstress in NY "back in the day") first told me about Ms. Lowe when I was very young. I couldn't find a lot of information on her, but was fascinated by what I learned.


for Sinfully Aphrodisiac Cupcakes on 4th, Mar 2010

Yes, I did. The key is to allow the ice cream to melt before adding it to the cake mix. Once melted, it's really not that much, but it replaces milk or water. If you find the batter too "wet" (I never did, but cake mixes can vary from box to box); you can add a bit of flour (by the teaspoon) to thicken it. However, I wouldn't add anything; this makes a very moist cake/cupcakes. hth

Who doesn't love these??? LOL Thanks for bringing back fond memories with this dish - and thank you too for the kind words about my rum cake recipe! All the best, rusty


for Real Eggnog (not the stuff from the carton) on 11th, Nov 2009

Now you know ... if "he" knew this was on the Internet! LOL ... Finally, I got the secret family recipe!


for Palestinian/Jordanian Cucumber Salad on 4th, Nov 2009

I like that ... Greek Yogurt -- critical to life in general ... I agree!


for How to make the most delicious Jello Cake out there! on 18th, Oct 2009

This is a very good method for your Jello Cakes! I do several also, but will give this a try; recently bought some black cherry jello; and you can get black cherry soda! Oh, boy, here we go! Thank you!


for Book Review: Pig Candy: Taking My Father South, Taking My Father Home: a Memoir, by Lise Funderburg on 25th, Aug 2009

Sounds like this is a book I am going to have to read soon and very soon. Thank you for sharing!


for Five Benefits the US Government Offers the 8 Million Unemployed (that you don't know about!) on 28th, Jul 2009

Thank you!


for The Return of the Hummingbirds on 24th, Jul 2009

i love the hummingbird story! I have hummers in my garden every year, I guess because I grow what they like. They never care for my feeders, the sugar water, etc., just like to stick their beaks up trumpet shaped flowers. I've also noticed this year they are much more comfortable around people - coming closer than in years past. But, your story gave me more insight than I had before. Thanks!
