a couple of weeks ago, when we went to chinson‘s for take away, there was a kid selling guineps – i had no idea what it was. i always get so curious for new and local flavours, so we bought a bag.
it tastes deliciously like a lychee, but with a more citric flavour – yummm!
guinep, spanish lime or mamoncillo!
i did have a hard time remembering the name, but finally did some research on it, this is what i found out.
what a great week, the weather has been just perfect.
we spent some time with friends, who came over to visit from new york – went out for dinner a couple of nights, luckily the evenings were beautiful.
oh boy, it’s so nice to have close friends over and how interesting it is to see our friends’ point of view of the island (more on this soon!).
happy weekend!!
yesterday, we were lucky to have missed emily, and had such a nice and breezy evening!
i find sea turtles one of the most friendly looking sea creatures. james gets to see them all the time whenever he goes diving – i still hope i get to swim near one soon!
unfortunately turtles are an endangered species… mainly due to turtle fishing and oil spills from cargo ships (!!).
they really are surprising creatures – suzie, an adult green turtle, and the first to be tagged by the turks and caicos islands turtle project, undertook an incredible 6,000 kms round trip in 2009 and 2010 – read more about her story here.
and other awesome diving picture here!
last weekend, whilst we were moving, and were not really in the mood for cooking until our home was in order, we went to chinson’s for take away.
the menu is jamaican chinese, but we mostly like going on fridays and saturdays for their caribbean bbq.
it’s the perfect place for a casual dinner, listening to caribbean music and having a cold beer. the jerk pork and chicken are really good – and if you are a local foodie kind of guy/gal, you should definitely try their goat soup!
oh, and we do like going by on weekends to get some fresh bread or ginger bread.
