the trick to fry the boiled eggs is to roll them lightly in flour like when frying fish. they come out nice and brown, and no hot oil pitching on you. the old ladies in guyana did it this way

Then my gf n i shared an apt n i learnt to cook from her ( she isnt indo) n also trued to cook based on wht i had observed my sisters n mom doing!! Lol

Ive seen this. Is a Jamaican store here (owned by a Korean)..i thought they were aniseed biscuits
We learn everyday..im amazed because my sis lived in Jamaica n i never saw this in home.
Ive had the easter bun which I dont like as i tis wayyy to sugary for me.
Thnx for teaching me something new Mits Bhaiya

Im shocked that I didnt know abt this before as I worked n lived in Cayman Is ..where mant Jcans work/live n they have a lot of jcan foods there. My sis n several of my cuz were teaching in Jca n not 1 of them every spoke abt Bulla cake!
Food Basics carries it so does Metro depending where located. I first bought them years ago thinking they were as Lynn mentioned "anise biscuit"
I recently introduced it to a Guyanese buddy who told me that years ago (back in early 90s) a Jamacian friend told him they were no good (that banna taste box must got a hole). My buddy is now hooked on it.
It goes nice with old cheddar or dunked in coffee.
Here you go, bake your own.

I will try it..ive only seen it in this Korean store that sells Jamaican studd…as itis near our Gyese bread n pastries. I love anything that has ginger!!
Only Chalo Freshco in my area so that’s where I go ..lol but hubby often shops at No Frills n Sunny’s
@Django posted:Here you go, bake your own.
Yummy thnx!! I think I prefer to bake my own n try it rather than buying…
(isnt molasses sweet enough..that’s a lot of sugar…i will use 1 cup instead ..)
I once made it and a Jamaican lady asked me to bring in to work for her to try. The thing was hard like rock so she musta painted it and used it as a door stop.

I dont rem wht molasses tastes like..growing up, my mom always kept molasses at home. TBH i dont know wht she did with it..if we ate it byt spoonful..( it was unadulterated kind..straight from sugar factory because my parents had a close friend( i think Uncle Arnold) who was some ‘big thing’ at Leonora sugar factory n he brought molasses for us.
Dem donkeys an horses eat that thing..I was told that gave them the energy to pull such heavy loads so I loaded up on it myself but after eating a lot of that stuff I still was never able to lift more than my empty arms. No joke but when I partook in cycle sports I took molasses...Irish moss...Milk stout with raw hegg.

2nd time im making these..they were so yummy!! But i had to exercise self control!!lol
Whts cooking?? Prezzo..wht d wifey been cooking up for u..or vice versa?
Yesterday i cooked squash curry with chicken n fresh coconut milk n some egg fried rice with some stale rice .
Today..zucchini lasagna (with garden fresh zucchini n ground chciken), stir fry mix veegies n will make a tray cassava pone, filipino style (cassava cake) n seim (from d yard) curry n aloo with fat shrimps n fresh coconut milk .
Btw..uguys know aby ‘dwarf’ seim tree??
A friend gave me 5 seim 2 yrs ago n i set it but insects ate all but 1 of the plant. I was shocked to see a small tree n not a vine like th usual seim. Also the flowers were white.. n the tree bore 3 pods of seim!! Unfortunately the seeds were misplaced but-my
nephew from Miami sent me 5 1 dried seim n outof that i got 3 dwarf seim tree plus 1 vine. Again insects destroyed most of the leaves buti managed to get 2 handfuls of seim
My squash tree lookslike it will die soon..after bearing 2 squash ..lol
Beans from myb80 yr old Italian neighbor..
n zucchini from my hubby golf buddy
@Lynn, use Dawn Detergent for the insects. Check Utube. If not, get a a bottle of Neem oil from Home Depot for about $18. For the squash, it seems to be a fungus. Mix baking soda with milk.... you will need a good spray bottle.
I grow the Bush type Seim. Seeds will be available for next year.

I used the blue dawn detergent in water n sprayed …but too late!
thnx fir the tip for squash ..will try it..
wehad black fungus on my rose bed 2 yrs ago..found out it was black spot fungus too late..n that needed a fungicide which we got from Cdn Tire, but it was too late. I got nw rose plants last yr n in spring i saw signs of same fungus. Fortunately i caught it early so hopefull i wont lost the new plants this time.
@Lynn, get a sprayer like the HDX from Home Depot and spray the soil around the Rose bushes as well as under the leaves with the Dawn detergent mix. The fungus is in the soil. When it rains the spores get splattered up to under the leaves. Water the roots also and feed them with Bone meal for root development. Every so often I would spray my garden by using either Dawn or Laundry detergent in a watering can.

Thnx
we did that but it didnt work..at that time i didnt know wht it was, but a friend from UK knew abt black spot fungus (as shehad seena gardening show on TV there) n she told me to get the fungicide. It was extensive n killed all the roses..n yes we were told that the spores would live in the soil..so huny treated soil in spring. Yet the bottom leaves of new rose plants had a bit of black spots n yellowing of leaves, so hubby treated it again.
buti will follow it up with dawn n for sure will get spray(hubby has a good spray but im not sure if itis HDX
Thanx a mil for the tips Mits Bhaiya.
oh the squash..thos dried leaves r from ‘bramble’
my gf told me it is the heat that is making the vine n leaves wither (hubby waters morn n evening)
here is a pix of the withered leaves 
@Lynn, because of the heat that squash needs more water. To get the squash to produce, pick one male flower and use the stamen to tickle the other flowers. This will trick the vine to feel as if the bees are around. Do not wet the leaves as this help the spores of the fungus to take over. Build up the soil around the root to form like a mini pond to retain the water. My Guyanese neighbor grows it on his cherry tree and the fruit is about 9 to 10 feet . Love it with black tiger shrimp and fried Banga Mary on the side.

My hubby waters in morn n evening..n yes, we dont see many Bees around so we have to pollinate manually..( hubby uses Qtip )
last yr i got at least 8 squash for the tree..this yr only 3 but 1 dried uo whn it was abt 4-5 ins .
.now no more flowers.
We have 1 growing on our plum tree but it doesnt get much sun ..i think there is 1 small 1 coming up !
stew squash..plenty tomatoes n wiri wiri with fat shrimps or chicken is my #3 (after katahar n seim ) on my list of fave greens..hot hot with oil roti or sada, not rice!
So leh me see if I got dis rite. Lynn said how she hubby does manually polinate the flowers dem ...with a q tip. What I wanna find out is how he know where fi stick the q tip?
Lynn..I seem to recall it was Banks Milk Stout...no I didn't add milk...just an egg...it tasted like...yuckkkk..I had to lick my butt to get the taste out of my mouth.
@cain posted:So leh me see if I got dis rite. Lynn said how she hubby does manually polinate the flowers dem ...with a q tip. What I wanna find out is how he know where fi stick the q tip?
Welll hear dis joke nah..3 yrs ago was the 1st time i planted squash ( n by ‘i’ i mean hubby as-he does ALL d yeard work..hehehe
well i am a farmer’s daughter but i never knew abt manual pollination. So all d squash were turning yellow n they dried up. Then a cuz came late aug n told me that i have to ‘marry’ the male n female flowers. I had no idea abt man n woman flowers..omg! ..but-by then it was late summer so i didnt get any squash that yrs.
last yr we were doing the ‘marry’ or ‘kiss; thing as people suggested..then a gf f mine told me to try the qtips because sometimes u dont get enough male flowers to pollinate the female
btw me guh ga fuh ask me hubby dat qwestion

Yeah i heard abt moms or grandparents giving lil babies(i doubt they did this with new born) a few drops of brandy to the baby bottle of milk (not breast milk..) at nights to make them sleep soundly!
That is nothing compared to a mother drinking 2 bit stoute oer day..n eso newborn , boy that is alot of likka in d breast milk!!

Cut it back to 6 to 8 ft in the fall. See what happens next year.
Drop a couple big nails through the trunk....fruit like raaassss...next year it might dead though.... but dem is the breaks.
I know someone who tried it lil while ago....same thing happened...peaccchhh taraassss......baddam dead.
Cain, so dem big nails caused the apple tree to bear peaccchhh taraassss......
Anyway some peeps allow dem apples tree to grow too tall. My neighbor has his about 6 feet tall so that he spray it early spring before it blooms and then during the blooming. He uses a mixture of Dawn and Garlic. It's the red delicious. I get 5-10 pounds every year from him. We make some jam and fillings for the pie. Stores well. The apple pie goes good with my home made Brown Betty Ice Cream.

Try cutting back to 6ft. It will spring back 8 to 10 ft. Also use 10-10-10 fertilizer at about 2 ft radius from the trunk with a pinch of bone meal.

Time to join this cooking thread.......been away for a while, busy with summer and the 5 grandbabas.
Pouring rain right now.......we really need it, especially the farmers!
My veggie garden is a total failure this year.....not sure why 
. Used cow and sheep manure, watered regularly, pulled weeds.......and nothing!!
I usually get zucchini and tomatoes galore! even my herbs are stunted
For today's dinner......roti with dhaal and stewed salmon (from can)
I bake a really good carrot cake.....have leftovers and will finish off after dinner with cream cheese icing!
My Tomatoes are blooming but the fruits are not that in abundance. Roma and Romano are starting to ripen. They are doing better than the other varieties. Shrub type Seims, Bush Beans, Bora and Poi very bountiful. Picked a few baigans but the squirrels are enjoying the cucumbers.
@Mitwah posted:Try cutting back to 6ft. It will spring back 8 to 10 ft. Also use 10-10-10 fertilizer at about 2 ft radius from the trunk with a pinch of bone meal.
Good advice there Mits! I used to put the fertilizer/bone meal where the branches end also. If the branches stuck out six feet from the trunk that's where it was placed.
I think the nails in the trunk scenario was a bit much,but when a tree or plant seem to not do good, I would take my fork and stick it into the ground around the plant to break up the roots a bit, that shocks the plant.
So you see Mits, you might not only get peach from the apple tree, if lucky you might even get grapefruit.
@cain you are right about putting the fertilizer where the branches end also. I would thin out some. Actually, I have seen the apple and pear production after successful grafting. I also know how to graft. I'll try it on my neighbor's, since he has both types. Guava wouldn't survive.
Great tips..thnx Mits bhaiya n Mista Cainsta

Talking abt nails in tree trunk..
i remember my dad doing this at home but I am not sure which tree n for wht reason..
somehow im thinking it's the coconut tree …n maybe whn the coconuts were falling whn they were too young..???
I must ask my brothers…
(my parents were farmers..buti was too young to learn all abt agriculture from them..ie ask questions etc. My bro who died last OCT knew a lot as he planted lot of fruits n veggies like my parents did, so i started to ask him a few questions last yr…(hope my other brothers, who r not into farming now, can shed some light )
@Mitwah posted:My Tomatoes are blooming but the fruits are not that in abundance. Roma and Romano are starting to ripen. They are doing better than the other varieties. Shrub type Seims, Bush Beans, Bora and Poi very bountiful. Picked a few baigans but the squirrels are enjoying the cucumbers.
Squirrels eat out our baigan..
—insects eat out leaves from seim n bora n poi so i told hubby to stop planting these.
We have too much shade in our yard..the karaila tree bore 2 last yr..hahaha n the ochro trees had 1 ochro each ,
—-the plum tomatoes r growing..but they r so low to the ground, i worry that they might drop on the actual soil by the time they r ripe.
The cooking thread got derailed..hehehehehe
i think we shud start a new thread abt summer garden..!!

I think some fat shrimps might wuk nice with this dry curry ..
good idea Prezzo…I will try next time!!
@Mitwah posted:@cain you are right about putting the fertilizer where the branches end also. I would thin out some. Actually, I have seen the apple and pear production after successful grafting. I also know how to graft. I'll try it on my neighbor's, since he has both types. Guava wouldn't survive.
I wish if I can get guava to grow here..lol

I made a powder from dried habanero. I sprinkled on the baigan and at the base of the baigan plants. I sprinkled some at the top of the fence. This works for me.
In the evening, I water the seim with Dawn + veg oil and spray under the leaves. My Ochro was not growing. So I moved them and watering them with lemon water since they need acid and I can see some progress.
With Karela, pick one flower and go around and touch the other flowers. This will trick the plant into producing fruits. Remember to pollinate the ones with baby Karelas.
With the plum tomatoes, cut pieces of cardboard and place them under the fruits so that they don't touch the soil. Feed them with egg shells or mix "tums" in water and give them a drink. The calcium will prevent the fruit from rotting at the bottom.
Poi will love the shade.
