RE: The Weekend that was #dashOutSunday

Always hard to lose a loved one, especially at a an age that's too early. But paying respects and cherishing the memories keeps her alive.
The song is very appropriate to the situation though.

I hate when restaurants do that. They have like 5 different chicken dishes on the menu, but it's basically just the same recipe chicken with 5 different sauces. That's just lazy.

I never stop to think what it would be like to live in another country and not have the things around you that are almost too common in your home country. For example, banana (plantain) and cassava chips are almost everywhere here, and I'm kind of addicted to the latter. Don't know how I would deal with that.

Indeed it is. The amount of people grieving around the world because of the pandemic is hard to fathom and "winter is coming". It has been a minute since I heard this one from TOK, but it is for sure one of their best works.

Trust me, they trick with a sauce to make the menu look fluffy, they even had different pictures lol.

It is rough but after while you just learn to do without or innovate. The women especially have to have their native food, I could count on one finger the men who buy these chips in a month. The women don't care about the price, they just want what they want, when they want.

Now if only I could engineer an ackee tree to grow in the east, it would be a gold mine.

Lol, funny you should say that. If the chips was too expensive I would have looked for a cheaper Japanese alternative/replacement to cope with. Not sure what provokes the difference between men and women, but it's interesting.

So I was wondering where the guy got them from, and if you could maybe make it yourself. But I'm guessing he imports and then makes the chips locally.

He actually buys the green bananas straight off the boats basically and makes it himself. But I think for me to do it myself would be pushing the jack of all trades. It's better I stick to what I do best. And making, packaging and sending off takes up a lot of time I could put somewhere else that makes more sense for me. The kitchen ain’t my place 😆

True. 😂 But you won't know for sure until you try. I wouldn't focus on packaging or making a business out of it. Just to make a batch for you and your family.

True dat. That makes sense. 🤔 create my own style.
