Hello and thank you for joining me on another weekend share. I hope your week has been well and your weekend starting great. If we were having coffee, I'd be offering you ginger beer, but coffee is available and so is green tea. It's a humid Saturday afternoon and the low sun is streaming through… Continue reading I Miss Ginger Beer

In Which I Wish You A Comfortable Weekend
If we were having coffee, I’d greet you at the door with two steaming cups of green tea, one for you and one for me, with a slice of lemon on each. I have some flaky, flat bread filled with candied purple yam and another variant with muscovado sugar. These are called “piaya”, a native… Continue reading In Which I Wish You A Comfortable Weekend
Exotic Fruits in Season
If we were having coffee, I’d welcome you in on a rainy Sunday afternoon with a bit of cool breeze coming through the window.

Glad To Finally Share Again
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I missed writing that opening line and I’m glad to finally get the chance to share in this community again.

Life In The Way
The past several months since my last post, I have been struggling with not only what to write but with the when and how. I've started (and almost finished) a few drafts but none of which I got to really publish. I know I'm not alone when I say we all have that phase of… Continue reading Life In The Way
