Caribbean Agrolinks Project

For the next few days I will be out of the office.. A most welcome departu re as I will be attending the Caribbean Agrolinks Project forum. to be held in in St. Kitts and Nevis from 27-28 January, 2011. 

I will definitely keep you posted on the events of the forum.. Hope to have a few pics to share alongside.

This is my first visit to the island, so I hope to enjoy a bit of the country, granted that will be a hard task to accomplish unless I spend my nights out.. Two full days of work... and a little fun between.................

The Quest for Black Gold

All for the Quest of Black GOLD
Will Caribbean Nations whether big or small ever be able to tackle the effects of an oil spill?  
What will happen to our so called priced white sandy coastlines?
What will happen to the tour operators?
How will the people on the coastline move away from fishing to just doing nothing?
The once crystal clear blue waters we once knew can be gone in a second!!!!!!!!
Now the quest for goal whether liquid or solid or whatever from that price may be, seems like most are sort of with huge investments.

Black Gold for many countries are not found in oil but are found many times in a single crop that hold the economy together, for example
Jamaica: Akee
Grenada: Nutmeg
Guyana: Rice/ Sugar cane
St. Vincent:  Rootcrop production
St. Lucia: Banana
Mexico: Corn
Etc. what is your Black Gold?




I laugh because I wish such investment go to Agriculture development.

Letting It all Hang out


Oh By, the dreaded 'Office Party". One often ask "Must I really attend?" " Do I seriously have to be a part of this".

Lucky for us all, one gladly attends, after all who else would record the fun...... Singing, food, karaoke - carry your own key, love, romance, alcohol, laughter, fun an embarrassment.. Yep, that about sums it up.

Every good show must have a cast of characters.. From J - The Brandy King, N - The High Note Carrier, R J - The Over dressed Princess and S - I am to drunk to know that I just declared my love.

Where to begin? Let me introduce J, who single-handedly drank an entire bottle of Brandy along with other drinks of that nature. Under the brew of Brandy, J gave us all a show, bellowing tunes of the olden times, Lionel Richie, Marvin Gaye and others.. dancing with his beloved.... and becoming the speaker of the house, just talk, talk, talk.. Yet his singing was beautiful that I admit..perhaps an undisclosed amount of alcohol can do the body good. Who knows

Our second not to be outdone performer Ms N.. what more can be said. The overly skinny, the beautiful, the talented, the voice to die for began pitching notes to the heaven. I am certain that the angles heard the notes so high. Perhaps she might be invited to join the choir. From Abba's "Chiqquitita to something of Beyonce..her performances were to die for...

Might I tell you that Ms Office Essential who arrived at the function thoroughly overdressed. and ....yet what else can we expect from such an individual. I mean, the memo clearly stated casual - slacks, t-shirts, jeans... Ms R decked out in her finest with heels to match... She perhaps mistakenly believed she was going to the Prime Ministers dinner... Hmmh.. I wonder what she was thinking.

Mr "I am to drunk to know what I am talking about", S. ...funny..a good dancer and the stand by emergency rescue for N....Need I say more..

The minor cast of characters comprised A who brought his new lady love, who like Ms Office essential, was way beyond overdressed.. What in the word is A doing with her is anyones guess... Not forgetting A's side kick R .. As the night went on A decides to sing a love song "If I could turn back the hands of time" ..Why or why? Is that a tear drop I see? Gosh i hope not..... R for reasons known only to him decided to romance R J... This was to funny for words...but hey, every one has to try their luck sometime...

As the night wore on, so much to eat and drink....oh the singing and the dancing..just perfect..just perfect.

All in all it was a great night of family, friends and acquaintances.. It was a great night for all.. Thanks to the G household for such an amazing night... Let's please do it again soon.

After all, All work and no play...............................

What in your food

We are what we eat or more what we buy!!!!




















Agribusiness vs Hunger

When you go to the super markets to buy all the nicely packaged imported products, have you ever considered where these foods might be coming from or the mere process of its birth.
Take the time to look at this video. The decisions you will make are only dependent on you...
However I urge you to support local and small farm holders.

Let’s stop hunger buy not support Large scale production.
