Oscypek and Food Fest Bahamas, 2018

Oscypki and jams

There’s this Polish cheese, oscypek. Trust me when I tell you it’s one of the best cheeses humans have ever come up with. The first time I ever had it was, unsurprisingly, in Poland. My family and I were on a trip to Zakopane, a small town at the base of the Tatra mountains. There…

Guineps, Seagrapes and Sugar Apples

You know those times when you feel out of sorts and can’t quite put your finger on why? Or you know the why, but the thing that’ll put you right again is slippery, vague, just out of reach? That’s how I’ve been the last week or so. It’s mental and physiological: I’ve been getting up…

Man waiting on conch salad

Hey y’all! How’s your summer going? In addition to a couple afternoons at the beach, so far I’ve used my days for picnics, a field trip and finally visiting places I’d only driven by before. Here’s a snapshot. 🙂 This conch salad stand is in the middle of Wulff Road, a busy street in Nassau…

Sooo it’s been a minute right? How’ve you been? Since my last post two of my sisters graduated – one’s a doctor now! – and so did my youngest brother. I was afraid the GDPR army was going to come looking for me so I shelved blog post ideas to figure out how to make…

Model Bakery Bahamas

Model Bakery dinner rolls

Last week one of my little girl dreams came true: I went behind-the-scenes at a bakery in its early morning hours. Model Bakery is a close-knit, family-run operation and I’m thrilled and thankful they welcomed me into their world. Miss Bridgette, one of the managers, is warm, generous and kind. When I told her I…

Auntie Moneira's papayas

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! I know Easter is over but this is still a thrilling thing to celebrate. My weekend involved fried fish, plenty of hot cross buns and I made my way to the beach. Who could ask for anything more? I hope you had a good weekend too. As usual, I’ve got…

Ms. Patti’s Produce Stand

Four days out of the week I teach a class at the University of The Bahamas, so four days out of the week I pass a pretty wooden produce stand on my way home. It’s on the lefthand side of Nassau Street, travelling north, and it sprung up six years ago. There are other vendors…
