What's cooking?

Just a couple of examples;

 Cumin offers several health benefits, including improved digestion, better blood sugar control, and reduced cholesterol levels. It is also rich in antioxidants, which can help protect against cellular damage

 

Coriander, also known as cilantro, offers several health benefits, including lowering blood sugar levels, reducing inflammation, and promoting heart health. It is rich in antioxidants and vitamins, which can help improve digestion

Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, offers several health benefits, including pain relief, weight loss support, and potential heart health improvements. It may also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
 

Capsicum, which includes bell peppers and chili peppers, is low in calories and rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and antioxidants. These nutrients can help improve heart health, support immune function, and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and certain cancers.

Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, primarily due to its active compound, curcumin. It helps reduce inflammation, improve joint pain, support brain health, and lower the risk of heart disease, among other potential benefits.

Ginger offers several health benefits, including relief from nausea, improved digestion, and anti-inflammatory properties that can help with conditions like arthritis. It may also aid in reducing muscle pain, lowering cholesterol levels, and supporting overall immune health.

Rabbit Pie ! And, for the purists, made with shortcrust pastry, NOT puff pastry ! ? ! Cheers.

Family get together at ours, so a bit of a spread.. 13 hour cooked brisket, slow cooked pork shoulder.. Home made coleslaw, stuffing, roasties... and a 2 day hangover! Lol

Treat off my dad tonight, he's a friend on the fresh fish stall up town... Scallops and lemon sole fillets...

Had a pork butt in the freezer so tossed that in the smoker, eveyone loved it ...I'm not a fan , those cuts of pork always have a weird flavor captain will gush about how tender it is and is confused when I tell him that that's not good enough for me lol. That , left over chicken Alfredo, Mac and cheese and a cabbage deal they love

Tbh mate it was gunna be a traditional Bajan Sunday dinner but I told her not to bother with roast spuds as the mac pie and rice was quite enough carbs and I couldn't be arsed to pop out and get a cabbage for the Steamed veg after all the rum punch I'd necked Saturday.Bajan Sunday dinners are a proper mixture of a roast  British and carribean cuisine with Barbados being a former British colony.Traditionally 1 chicken dish and 1 red meat or even 2 if if you're entertaining visitors and sometimes a fish dish too.And curry goat aint really curry.I love mopping it up with a Yorke or too with some coleslaw.

Love Caribbean food...

Bajan breakfast this morning after a walk..

Was buying some Crab meat the other day and the Guy selling it said there having a nightmare because of Octopus raiding the Crab Pots.

Also said they keep the Octopus they catch but he said there are two types. Ones with two lines of parallel suckers on the tentacles and another with alternating suckers. If anybody likes Octopus go for the one with the two parallel line of suckers.

Fishermen left with empty traps and mounting bills

Rods are in the bag mate, loads of lures so hopefully catch something, had a snorkel early and there are thousands of fish over the reef just off the beach, loads of bait fish flashing around so hopefully at least..
