On Christams morning we always have ham and homemade bread (Drools…my favorite part of Christmas is the food. Who needs gifts?) And I love macaroni pie…whenever I mention it to someone who’s not Trinidadian they give me a strange look. And then I explain that it’s basically baked macaroni and cheese lol.
Of course whe had callalo and crab…it was really good! The pepper didn’t burst in it or anything. I like spice but not THAT much spice. I don’t like ginger beer or anything ginger flavored for that fact.

Thanks for the links to the recipes…I can’t cook anything traditional *sigh*.

It so funny to come across another person online who knows about sorrel, ginger beer and callaloo. I just finished helping my mom bottle the ginger beer and sorrel. And she’ll be making callaloo on Monday! Enjoy our holidays!

The young kids get a kick out of seeing all the “old folks” as kids, clownin’ and lookin’ goofy. The food is always off the chain (my mother’s 5-Flavor cake, similar to a 7-up cake, but not really.. is to DIE for, I end up eating pieces of it for breakfast LOL)and the chance to just pause and gather everyone that you love close and thanking God for another year of blessings.
