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...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

These sablés are dangerous! No, it’s not because of their bittersweet chocolatey goodness. And no it’s not because of the chocolate chips strewn throughout that provide bursts of sweet creaminess. And no, it’s not even their brownie-like denseness that makes me issue this indictment. No, what makes...

When Trinidad was all abuzz with preparations for the Summit of the Americas I got the wild idea to feature the foods of the member nations as part of a buildup to the actual event. Except for one entry unfortunately that didn’t happen as things got unexpectedly busy on my side. I did however cook up a storm...

Carmen’s Carrot Muffins (recipe linked below) I’ve been making a lot of muffins lately. Largely in part because of my newfound obsession with making bento boxes for myself and J.
