    Taste of the Caribbean: Oxtail Stew

    June 23, 2013 / No Comments

    Our daughter has always been a pretty adventurous orderer, surprising restauranteurs with her selections.  When she was 7-years-old and we traveled to Mexico, she ordered squid and octopus.  We began traveling to the Caribbean when she was 9, and she was the first to order some of the local fare, including oxtails.  The rich stew of braised oxtails paired with rice, and in this case, the familiar onion rings, met with her approval. For more of our trips to the Turks & Caicos Islands, read our trip report and our journal entries.

    Taste of the Caribbean: Anegada Lobster Salad, British Virgin Islands

    June 22, 2013 / No Comments

    Today’s edition of Taste of the Caribbean comes to us courtesy of the British Virgin Islands.  I knew when we were planning our trip to the British Virgin Islands that I had to make sure to order the lobster for which Anegada is famous, although I couldn’t wait until our day trip to the island.  This beautiful Lobster salad was found at Pusser’s on Marina Cay, a small island situated between Scrub Island and Beef Island.  They will ferry you over to the island at no charge.  Just give them a call. For more on our trip to the British Virgin Islands, including our trip to Anegada, Marina Cay and…

    Taste of the Caribbean: Conch Salad, Turks & Caicos Islands

    June 21, 2013 / No Comments

    It’s time to launch our new series featuring our favorite dishes from the Caribbean islands.  Today’s feature is Conch Salad from the Turks & Caicos Islands.  This particular conch salad comes from Da Conch Shack, located in the Blue Hills area of Providenciales.  At Da Conch Shack, you can watch as they pull the conch from the sea, extract it from its shell at a table beach side, and then transport it to the kitchen where it is mixed with lime juice, peppers, tomatoes, and onions into this delicious treat.  Pair it with Jan’s Infamous Rum Punch, and you have the perfect seaside lunch.   For more about Da Conch…

    BVI Trip Report Part Five: Virgin Gorda

    January 1, 2013 / No Comments

    All good things must come to an end, and so we reach Part Five of our BVI Trip Report.  Part Five takes us to the island of Virgin Gorda, the third largest of the islands in the British Virgin Islands and the second most populated.  We arranged this trip through Dive BVI, as we did our trip to Anegada. Our guides for this trip were Tara from London, whom you may recall from our Anegada trip, and Brian, who was from a small village in Ireland.  Bryan told us he kissed the Blarney Stone twice, and I believe it.  He was a great storyteller, and we had a great day…

    BVI Trip Report Part Four: Anegada

    December 30, 2012 / No Comments

    It’s time for a road trip, island style, as we take a day trip to Anegada.  Anegada is a bit unlike its companions in the British Virgin Islands.  Unlike the other inhabited islands in the BVI chain which are volcanic in origin and mountainous in appearance, Anegada is composed of coral and limestone.  The terrain is so close to sea level that it’s difficult to spot it at a distance without the assistance of the the palm trees.  Its highest point is only 28 feet above sea level.  Anegada is also a bit farther out from the other islands, approximately 15 miles north of Virgin Gorda.  I put together this…
