Music : Gimme Likkle One Drop

 

Hey World! ^_^

 

I got so use to hearing this song every day during my summer vacation to the point that I began singing it mindlessly, almost naturally. Good tune. Catchy lyrics. It creates a feel good vibe. My sis and I would say it somehow "reminds us of chilly nights we spent with my dad and his friends. Watching and hearing them play dominoes, as well as listening to the reggae music playing in the background whilst our sense of smell was entangled with cigarette smoke and beer. From Guinness, to Red Stripe, to Heineken." Believe it or not, the smell of cigarette is my least favourite scent but for some strange reason on nights like those it's tolerable. Don't ask me how!

Anyway, this song is 'Gimme Likkle One Drop' by Tarrus Riley aka "Singy Singy". Perfect for a Friday/ Saturday night.

Enjoy!

Blue Draws

Hey World!

“[T]he Ghanaian “kenkey” is probably the origin of the Barbadian word, conkie for the above traditional food. In Ghana, Kenkey refers to similarly prepared corn meal dishes.”

In Jamaica, this is a popular traditional food  known as Dukunu aka  Blue Draws (Blue Drawer's) aka Tie-A-Leaf !  Above it is pictured wrapped in banana leaf but when i'm making it at home, i use aluminium foil. The main ingredient is normally cornmeal, sweet potato or cassava but yam may also be used.
