Featured Video!

In this week's video, I feature Henry, the popular newspaper vendor who sells literally in the middle of the fairfield intersection each Sunday in Montego Bay.

You should see him running between cars to make his sale; a dangerous job I tell you. Here's the full video of the interview.

Featured Jamaican Product

When last have you had a 'dry' slice of real Jamaican pear?
Notice I didn't say avocado? :-)

I've been enjoying it over the last few weeks, but yesterday, while on the road in the country area, I stopped by a shop and this was what we were treated with... pear and crackers! Love it.

I posted it on my instagram page here:

It doesn't quite taste the same if it is not from 'the rock'.
And yes, that's my featured Jamaican product today - Jamaican Pear

Officially,school resumes tomorrow here, and anxiety abounds, it will be an interesting time for many of the children and us as parents as we try to utilize this so called, 'blended approach' as we navigate Covid19.
