The best of everything: Guyana 1945-1985 – Nostalgia 16 – By Godfrey Chin

Godfrey Chin -“Nostalgias”

January 28. 2007 – Stabroek News – Nostalgia 16 – By Godfrey Chin

In F Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, one of the pastimes of the indulgent rich was prolonged conversation on “The Best of Everything and Anything.” Of course this was possible because in the thirties there was no television – the nemesis of banter and conversation between family and friends.

In subsequent years, the Best of Everything was extended by newspapers and magazines to annual polls on Jazz, restaurants, the worst dressed, the rich and famous, MVPs and today’s popular Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues.

In recording my Nostalgias I have always cherished the idea of sharing my best – titillating your palette to simultaneously evoke your best for comparison, especially since we may have been in the same church – different pews, different times – but all on the same heady, wonderful journey of life in ‘O Beautiful Guyana’ of yesteryear.

The  Catastrophe of  Parenting – By Yvonne Sam

March 3, 2019 – 12:11 am

By Yvonne Sam

If there is anyone who can be called the boss in modern, anti-hierarchical parenthood, it’s the children. A definite shift in culture has taken place.

There were times when I have given serious consideration to the state of my continued planetary existence alongside my fellow humans.  Sadly, however the available living options still remain virtually zero.

Recently while out dining, a scene gradually began unfolding before my eyes– one which in my opinion only served to further reveal the collapse of modern day parenthood. Sitting in the booth adjacent to mine, deeply involved in their gastric fare was a young couple with three very young children.  Suddenly, the quasi silence was broken, by the plaintive pleading of the father saying to one of the girls.” Please, pretty please! Eat it up before it gets cold”.  “Come on, try one more bite”  “Then you can have your favorite dessert after”?  “Good girl”.  The mother occasionally or perhaps reinforcing interjected with, “Be a good girl”, you know Mommy loves you”.      Continue reading →

More RECIPES are at:  GUYANA and CARIBBEAN RECIPES

The largest selection is on LINK: Guyana Outpost Recipes 

This article is from Kaieteur News – December 25. 2018

For any Guyanese, it simply does not feel like Christmas without a steaming pan of pepperpot or garlic pork. It definitely doesn’t feel the same without a slice of rich black cake and cold glasses of ginger beer and sorrel drink to wash it down. What makes it even better? Ask any Guyanese and he or she would tell you that no shop or no store can provide you with the original flavours that you get when your Christmas dishes are homemade.

Below are some recipes to help you give your Christmas the true Guyanese feel.
Starting off with the most sought after of the season,       Continue reading →

BY TANGERINE CLARKE – Caribbean Life News. NY

Loraine, a Guyanese-born, Christmas enthusiast who spends many hours decorating every corner of her Brooklyn house, reflected on the meaning of Christmas, saying, “Jesus is the reason for the season, and then there is the joy and thankfulness in seeing my home decorated with flowers, fairy lights, ceiling ornaments, and to top that off, welcoming family, for sharing and caring.”

Guyanese never gets tired of doing the same things every year for Christmas; they feast on black ‘rum’ cake, sponge cake, garlic pork, ginger beer, pickled vegetables, Pepperpot with bread and Guyana’s classic, XM Rum.        Continue reading →

Guyana: ​The story of your Christmas Pepperpot – by Francis Quamina Farrier + music videos

December 16, 2018 – 5:00 pm
One of Guyana’s popular National Dishes, is the Pepperpot, which has it’s origins in the heart of the hinterlands where many of Guyana’s Indigenous Peoples reside. For many Guyanese, Pepperpot is prepared and consumed mainly at Christmas time, while for others, it is enjoyed all year ’round.
