Caribbean Market Day

Well, the weekend is behind us and here we are again, another week of school, work and whatever else call our attention. As usual, I do hope you all had a great weekend and stand ready for the new week. Today I'd thought that I'd share this GORGEOUS painting by Trinidadian Artist Karin Dawn Kelshall- Best, entitled 'Caribbean Market Day.' It caught my eye as the picture entails a woman plying her trade on the side of the road. Food fans all agree that when it comes to food that 'fresh is always best' and this picture shows just that. Roadside vending, like street food is quite common throughout Trinidad. Produce from gardens both large and small often find their way to our homes to be made into wonderful meals. So, when next you rummage through your pantry or even refrigerated bins, don't throw them into the sink or pot....remember, before they turned into meals, they were one lovingly cared by someone who dedicated a lot of time before they caught your eye. Eat heartily, friends.....

  1. Hi, just thinking that this post could actually be way to introduce leftover meals. After all not all of the cuisine in the Caribbean started out as 'fresh' produce and meats to be chopped up and made into a meal. Just a suggestion. Otherwise great post Love the pic!
