Intro / Feature

Hi ,

Let's leave the strain and stress of Covid19 for a while and get back to, let's say, something more healthy, more nourishing perhaps, something 'curry' - as we typically say here in Jamaica when things are going right!

Well, I answered a related question from one of my readers recently and figured I'd share it with you.

It was about, yes, authentic Jamaican curry powder!
And notice I said, Jamaican curry powder.

Her question was...

What's in it? and How Do I Make It?

Now, I bet you never really gave curry that much thought before, right ?

Here's my full response to her question...

Take a read, very enlightening!

And now, my...

Featured Video!

Yesterday I ventured into the hills on some business and ran into a bunch of little boy picking apples, our own Jamaican apples, on the side of a road.

I was fascinated to see what was left after they picked and eat, and so I made this short video :-)

Well, that little encounter with the boys under the apple tree yesterday reminded me about the amazing health benefits of this our own Jamaican apple.

And so, yes, today, that's my featured Jamaican product.

Did You Know?

... that Black River was the first town in Jamaica to have electricity?

It was supplied by the Leyden brothers in 1893.

The power was generated from a plant which had a huge furnace and boiler. Logwood, which was a major export of the parish, was used to generate steam from the engine which provided the power.

Well, now you know!

And Before You Go...

I recently ran into a quote by Jack Ma, that's the gentleman who owns Alibaba.com (I posted it on my Instagram page).

His message was directed for those of us in business but you can see its relevance to everyone.

Here is it...

Please #StaySafeAndSane during these trying times my friend.
