WISHING ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ON GNI A

* Well! My stomach is happy this Sunday morning. I went out early this morning and bought some Bake and Smoke Herring---with tamarind sauce.

* Me and the wife washed that down with some freshly squeezed orange juice, which the Rev made himself---You see that Rev's not all that useless. The wife made the coffee.

* Lovely West Indian breakfast---I'm belching smoke herring---Now spinning some bhajans.

Rev

Rev, I'm under the impression that you live in Manhattan. Do you get West Indian breakfast in the city? I haven't eaten smoke herring in years. It bothers my stomach.

I had my usual Sunday morning breakfast: Bagel and coffee from Dunkin Donuts.

My, oh my! Breadfruit chips sound soooo good. Observer must have a happy tummy Alena, baigan choka and roti is good any time of the day. I might make some this week.

Mira:

* Yesterday I drove out to Queens to get Bunjal duck---it was pleasurably appetizing---thoroughly enjoyed it--- and early this morning I drove out to Queens again to get West Indian breakfast(Bake & Smoke herring).

* Anyway, hope you enjoyed that boring Dunkin Donut breakfast. Actually I like their coffee.

Rev

Cooking late lunch/early dinner.......just like we always did on Sundays in Guyana

some of this will be leftovers for during the week:

bigan/aloo/chicken curry with sada roti

dhall and bhagee with rice.

the bhagee is a mixture of: kale/bokchoy/spinach.....cooked with a dash of coconut milk.

A lot of driving for food there, Rev!

Boring DD? Not at all I'm a DD coffee gyaal, even though it's a bit strong for me.

VB, I had some delicious bhaggie yesterday. Chowrai mixed with a pack of frozen store bought spinach. Gyaal, I must admit, I didn't cook it. Some might refer to me as, "she prappa spile" 

Note: someone please explain this fond Guyanese expression to those who may not know it 

I plan on cooking some dhall today.

* Just make sure you put some spinach leaves in that dhall when it's near done and don't forget this:

* That's mari-wiri pepper.

Rev

Rev, no spinach in the dhall today. We already have that as dish. I might add some pepper since I don't eat dhall. Yes, I am missing out.

You all making me hungry! I'll probably have some leftover cookup or boil & fry with chicken curry.

Just got in from a nice long drive out in the countryside, yessss, the smell of cowshit, yesss....sheep shit...yessss.

So I stopped in a spot on Eglinton East/Bermondsey, South east corner. A portuguese restaurant called "Bla bla bla Portugril" short term memory screwed up, don't remember the first part of the name.

I got some Rice, Parisienne potatoes,vegetables and fish. Dam stuff bad (as in good) for days. Those potatoes are the bomb. They also make the salt fisk cakes which I had....niceee, jus like I remember fishcake.

Desert was quite nice, I doan remember the name but it was mmmm good. Dont even remember the colour, it jus disappeared. Oh yeh, was some kinda a custard cream pastry.

The hilight of the night was the girl behind the counter who was the proud owner of quite a hugh bamsy, I was really quite taken with the way she carried it with her.

I expected to see it stay "behind" while the rest of her went that-a-way, but alas, she kept it together, yesss!!!

..an yall rant thought was only dem black gurls who got big booty nuh?

I walked away after paying a fifty six dollar bill. I got carried away so now I got enough for the rest of the week, no groceries shopping for a lil while. hehe...is nuff nuff putagee style rice an potatoe an ting.

They were at Birchmount and Danforth when I first learned of them. One day the ex and I walked over to get some dinner and found they had moved to the location they are now in.

A great Sunday morning to you all!  Just had some home made phulouri and sour.  Have a blessed and rewarding week.

Got up early, did laundry and hung outside. Made boiled and fried channa and fried chicken. Have some apples and thinking of making a pie.

Alena, am impressed you can make polorie. Mine never come out round, what's the secret?  

did somebody say phoulouri, hmmm meh mouth watering here Alena

Learn to spell it right first.

Neither mine.   I can't master the art of using my hands to throw it in the oil, believe it or not I use a teaspoon (know you will laugh)..it is semi round...hubby fried it for me, team effort.  Sour was provided by dad all the way from Canada.

I thought I was the only one who use a teaspoon. 

You can try using a cake decorating bag or make a "piping" / funnel with grease proof paper. This might take some practice before actually making the drops into the hot oil.

I'll try using a funnel. If it doesn't work, all the spoilt fritters will be mailed to Rajesh Khanna.

The funnel wont work. The grease proof paper piping is squeezable. Just think of RK when you are squeezing.  Next time you are up here, Bhoujee would be happy to show you how.

JUS LIKE hICIN A CAKE WITH A SQUEESY BAGGY THINGY.

This starting to sound like porn!   

Plan to cook some fry bigan/aloo/wid lil bit chicken

some parathas to go with it

that will also be my Iftar for today
