The Daily Draw Pt. 2

In my previous article “The Daily Draw” I touched on how reading your ‘Card Of The Day’ can help you to strengthen your connection with your deck(s). Now I want to let you in on a tool that can help you to greatly enrich the power of this spread. It is something that I like to call ‘The Power Of The Subconscious’. It entails drawing a second card, as part of your “Daily Draw”. This card serves as a visual symbol for the subconscious influences that exist in your heart and can point to obstacles that you may encounter in ...

Sarina’s Coconut Rice With Lentils and Cashews (recipe)

This recipe is a staple side dish of mine that I’ve adapted and modified at length through the years. Both colorful and flavourful I think it creates a texturally interesting background for spicy curries and other East Indian flavoured entrees. Coconut Rice with Lentils and Cashews INGREDIENTS: 1/2 lb. basmati rice 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 teaspoon stone ground mustard 1 teaspoon urad dhal or brown lentils 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon madras curry powder 2 ounces fresh coconut, grated 1 ounce unsalted roasted cashews salt and pepper METHOD: 1...

Underwire Radio (1999-2001)

From 1999 - 2001, I ran underwire:: the 24 hour sound of Trinidad-Online. Operating via Live365.com it was one of the first 24 hour online Trinidadian music stations. It was a joy for me as broadcast was a dream of mine from a very young age. Growing up my idols were local radio personalities such as Dave Elcock, Sharon Pitt, Denis McComie, Adrian Don Mora and Emmett Hennessy. After watching Pump Up The Volume in the late 80's and being hooked on 90's basement-style public access shows like JBTV (Jerry Bryant Television where I first saw/ heard Suede & Liz ...

Jamaican Sorrel Rum Punch (recipe)

When I first made this in 2006 it was my first time using a pack of dried sorrel for a recipe. I was pleasantly surprised. If you allow it to steep overnight the results are pretty good. The below recipe is my adaptation of the Jamaican Sorrel Rum Punch Recipe at Epicurious.com. Because the pack of dried sorrel that I bought already has cloves added, as well as chunks of cinnamon bark I didn’t need to add any additional flavorings. If you can locate packs like these I highly recommend it... This article is part of the SarinaNow network. To continue ...
