    Our favorite rum punch on Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands, can be found at Hemingway’s, located in The Sands, a resort right on Grace Bay Beach.  You can see a nice float of Myer’s Dark Rum along the top.  Cheers!

    Spirits of the Caribbean: Jan’s Infamous Rum Punch, Turks & Caicos Islands

    July 15, 2013 / No Comments

    When you arrive at Da Conch Shack, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands, you are immediately drawn to the fresh conch, pulled from the sea before your eyes.  But don’t overlook the offerings of Da Conch Shack’s Rum Bar, including Jan’s Infamous Rum Punch.  You know it’s good when you can see that nice float of dark rum on top. For more on why Da Conch Shack is one of our favorite beach bars, read here.  Cheers!

    Taste of the Caribbean: Conch Fritters

    June 30, 2013 / No Comments

    On Taste of the Caribbean today, we have one of our favorite beach eats, conch fritters.  A batter is made into which conch, peppers, onions, and seasonings are mixed, and then spoonfuls of the batter are dropped into the deep fryer.  Served with a dipping sauce, it’s the perfect partner to a cold Turks Head or other island brew. These beauties were found at Da Conch Shack, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands, where you can see the conch pulled from the ocean right before your eyes.  For photos and details of our visits to Da Conch Shack, read our trip report!

    Taste of the Caribbean: Peas and Rice

    June 27, 2013 / No Comments

    It’s a classic found throughout the Caribbean.  Peas and rice accompany many of our favorite meals on our travels through the islands.  This gorgeous plate of food was found at Hole in the Wall, on Airport Road, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands.  It was recommended by our rental car agent (rental car guys and taxi drivers are some of the best sources of this kind of information). For more on our trips to Providenciales, read our Trip Reports! Or browse through our Travel Journal and Photos from the Turks & Caicos Islands!

    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: 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…

    Top Ten Things To Do in the Caribbean

    March 19, 2013 / No Comments

    Time to daydream a bit.  When work gets a bit dull, it’s easy to glide over to Facebook or Twitter, and think about what you would rather be doing right now.  If you really had to narrow it down to a list, and put them in order of priority, what makes your top ten?  Here’s our list: #10  Cocktails and tapas at SandBar, Sandy Ground, Anguilla.  The perfect combination of delicious food and great views. #9   Sip lemon grass water in a lounge chair at the Four Seasons Nevis.  The flavored water of the day at the Four Seasons Nevis changes daily, but the lemon grass is the best.…
