It's ok to 'Cheat ' at the G Spot

'Cheat Night'.. Grilledcheezus!


Hungry supporters for Grilledcheezus sandwiches


If you’re looking for classic sautéed mushrooms, the G Spot food truck had this as one of their offerings for 'cheat night' on June 30, called #Cheese melts.  I realised that approximately every two weeks, there is a 'cheat event' going on at the G Spot.   I also figured out that you have a shorter waiting time if you arrive at 6 p.m. when the event is carded to start.  I collected my sandwiches in 20 minutes which was a vast improvement from my first experience with the Spot.  The crowd, I think, got the best of them. 

What amazed me was on that day, the weather was what we Trini's call, 'bucket a drop' rain up to dusk, even still, people came out and supported the venture.  This was a good indication that people, other than myself, L♥ve we belly! 


Bacon, Confit Mushrooms, Caramelized onions, Tarragon Poached Apples with Manchego Cheese on Biroche 

I thoroughly enjoyed these Cheese Melts! I received two savoury sandwiches for TTD55.00 and they smelt delicious.  The mushrooms and bacon were favourful  and cooked to perfection while the onions participated in a friendly exchange of flavours.  Unfortunately, I am still waiting for the taste of the poached apples.  Could it be that the mushrooms and bacon overshadowed the apple? Or is it that I was a little anxious and greedy? 

I must admit that I felt 'cheated' that I did not partake in the Tomato Basil Bisque that was offered on the menu. One of my chef friends accompanied me and purchased the bisque. A bisque as explained to me is a soup that is usually puréed, a thickening agent added such as a roux and a seafood element like shellfish, crayfish and roasted crustaceans.  He shared that the bisque was seasoned well but not thick enough for his palate. For me, it was a tad cold but tasty. I would have been none the wiser of its thickness requirement but happy for the experience.


Thankfully you can be a part of the experience around mid July.

 Try them and let me know what you think?

Bake and Shark... Think Asha's!

Image
Bake and Shark   Who say Beach?! Bake and Shark.. Another street food. This is a staple when heading to North Coastal beaches such as Maracas, Las Cuevas and Toco.  Your first 'beach stop' will be at Maracas, then make a bee line to Asha's Bake and Shark, next to the parking lot. Now, picture this view, with a Bake and Shark in hand and possibly a soft drink/soda or our local Carib Beer, as Trinis usually do it (though I do not encourage alcohol consumption when driving).   Maracas Beach from Bay View Pub Bake and Shark is simple and elegant.  At Asha's, the bake is always freshly fried as well as the shark, not catfish!! Hmm.. want to work yourself up to eating shark? A vegetarian, perhaps?  Asha's  menu extends to shrimp, chicken, salmon meals and king fish and vegetarian meals. They also provide a buffet styled layout of quite a range of vegetables such as pineapple, lettuce, tomatoes and others. The condiments bar, consists of ...

Trini Sponge Cake with Coconut Ice Cream

Image
Trini Sponge Cake using  1-2-3-4 method. Happy Saturday everyone!! You simply can't outshine a Trini Sponge Cake with Coconut Ice-cream.  They represent the Tan-Tan and Saga Boy characters in my Carnival, prominent and always together!  Recalling my childhood weekends, my Mother would announce that today is sponge cake day..Yipee!!! For the sponge cake, I had the 'important' role to monitor the creaming process.  My reward, was 'licking the spindle and bowl.'  Who would have thought that raw eggs, butter, flour and sugar would taste so good! Not to mention, the anticipation. When baking, the aroma that filled the kitchen, escaped to the rest of the home and filled the nostrils of the neighbours. Every seasoned baker knows when a cake is almost finished and like clockwork, our neighbours would come over to 'share time or lime with us'.  It's a Trini thing.   Coconut ice cream is equally coveted as a homemade...

Need a boost of energy and nutrition? J's Flavs

Image
J's Flavs are the BOMB! Source : HomeMade Zagat   Pumpkin and Pineapple Punch  I had the pleasure of meeting Janelle Alexander-Wilson,  an up and coming entrepreneur who has discovered the sweet spot of finding what you enjoy doing and being paid for it!      J's Flavs began in October 2016 as secondary income to support her family. Within the last decade, the popularity of having a punch from the neighbourhood vendor became a common sight.  We Trinis love to drink our energy blasts in  a Styrofoam cup filled to the brim, with a cold and frothy punch forming a mustache at our mouths.  Janelle agreed with the readiness of energy that these drinks offered, but for her, they lacked flavour.   Therefore  she decided to whip up some combinations of her own in her kitchen and asked her children to be the food critics.  From that thought, s he created two product lines: Regular flavours and Gourmet....
