Pickled Cucumbers



Ingredients:

2 Cucumbers
1/2 White Onion
1/2 Cup Rice Vinegar
1.5 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tbsp Salt

Directions:

Cut off the ends of each cucumber, then slice very thinly (I used a food processor for this). Slice the onion into very thin pieces. In a large bowl, mix the vinegar, sugar and salt well. Add the Cucumbers and onions.  Stir well, and let chill for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!

My friend Natalie and I became friends in college.  We studied at the University of Minnesota, and we both were on the Track & Field Team. She was from Barbados and I was from New York. After college she moved back to Barbados and I moved back to New York. We reconnected via Facebook after many years. Long and behold, 18 years after college;  I took my first trip to Barbados to visit her, and see the beautiful island she was from. I  traveled to Barbados the past 3 years, because I can't get enough of the island. I have had the Time of My Life! Honestly, I believe this is my favorite island thus far. What makes this island so amazing? ---The People!

Oxtails and Bahamian Rice & Peas

  My friend Anika and I met last year in Barbados. She is from the Bahamas and I am from New York. While out to dinner with mutual friends, we started talking about yoga, food and cooking. We exchanged contact information to keep in touch. Six months later we both were planning our trip to Trinidad for Carnival.  Anika and her husband Ryan knew this was my first trip to Trinidad for Carnival, and included my friend and I in All their plans (along with 17 of their other friends).  I was so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful group of people.  We had an absolute blast at Carnival. After we got back, Anika was visiting her mom. She left her mom's house, and started to head home. Then realized she wanted to send me some traditional, authentic recipes from the Bahamas. She reversed the car, and went back to get the cookbook (Gourmet Bahamian Cooking by Marie Mendelson and Marguerite Sawyer). She shared over 16 recipes with me.  I was overjoyed! Mas- February 2015
