Pepperpot made from casareep

From my Pinterest profile pinterest.com/fahmeenaodetta.. my mother did not make her usual #pepperpot this #Christmas


Oh my! Cassava casareep for sale on Amazon!
(When did the spelling change? Some brands still have one s)

I'm heating leftover #soup for my next meal. Reminds me of #pepperpot....just heat and enjoy. No need to refrigerate the pepperpot...I believe the #casareep is the preservative (don't know whether scientifically proven)

Healthy soup with "two piece" of potato, a plantain and other good stuff...really good after all that Christmas food...battle of the bulge

A close-up of my #bagel. I remember those days when I ordered "egg and cheese on a plain bagel" for breakfast at the deli. I was working in DC.
#DownMemoryLane


Having a #bagel (with egg and cheese)...I made one for my Mom.

I used this #fish tea #soup mix from Grace....I added a lot of my own ingredients including #beer (reminds me of my Cooking with beer pinterest board)


Fish broth/soup in the slow cooker

#Pancakes... Could not find the syrup so I am using #strawberry preserves with #banana and "sling" (water, sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon)

Up early making Bisquick pancakes... Mom not home

#Lunch served.... the #rice has a "shape"...the way the kitchen staff served rice at PC. 
I made this #cookup with a lot of #chickenbroth rather than fatty #coconutmilk
#pcdays #memories #DownMemoryLane #Guyanese #Caribbean


Making #caribbean #cookup in the #crockpot. My mom started & left for work. I took over (after about 5-10 minutes).

Filled bottles... reminds me of the casareep "bottling operation" in my family. I saw a lot of it and helped sometimes. I could do the same with my #tea... would be cold/iced tea rather than hot.

My cup of #tea. It is #greentea with #thyme. This will assist with digestion of all that #Thanksgiving food

I noticed the 'Order Food' option in Facebook (mobile) today. Must try soon.

My pickled carrots and onion with pepper... stuff that needed to be used up ( kimchi with carrots instead of cabbage).

I like using Instagram with Wi-Fi.. I usually do not

#GreenTea for mom...in a mug


I made my "special" green tea...some may want to call it jazzed up green tea. I will have a bottle ready for my mother too.

Just removed from the stove...it is good! Reminds me of #cider. #Ginger, #peppermint & #lemon #tea. 

#fahmeenaodetta


I am using #peppermint teabags...peppermint leaves preferred. 

#tea #teasforhealing #fahmeenaodetta


Working on my #phd assignment and also on one of my newest #tea combinations... #ginger, #peppermint & #lemon. This is a spicy tea mix that I want to make yellow (the color of sunshine).

My black tea and green tea combination...not yet strained to remove sediments (like coffee is filtered)

So good...salty, sweet and a little sour. A lot of the "sourness" from the #tamarind gone. 
Should have been "achar with food" in previous post
#food #diet #Guyana #Caribbean


Trying the #tamarind #achar / #chutney with crackers....salty and sweet together. Of course, I will eat the sugar with food (as a condiment) as #Guyanese usually do.
#diet #food #Guyana #Caribbean #tamarindpasteFromThailand


The #tamarind #achar / #chutney is really good... tasty...with nice spices. Good job!


My mother finished it (not the norm). She made #tamarind #achar also called #chutney
#Caribbean


I started the process...intending to make #tamarind balld

#SkyFlakes... individually wrapped... just pick up one and go

About to have #SkyFlakes #crackers / #saltbiscuits. My mother likes this brand. 
I will update my school blog soon.  I submitted the final assignment.

My mother just walked in with lots of #food she ordered (prepared just for her). Maybe she is planning to have friends over.

Just finished... out of the oven. The pan from the box worked well. I will eat two slices (decision made).
#cake #diet #weightloss


Chocolate cake

Chocolate #cake in the oven...it didn't take long. That mix reminds me of (manual) cement making in Guyana - cement all around, water in the center.

#Chinesefood (takeout) today. Yum!
I try not to eat a lot of high calorie Chinese food. Reminds me of my doctor at Kaiser... I told her I would cut out Chinese food to reduce my blood sugar level.
