Dare I say I romanticize the market in my mind, with wistful thoughts of colorful vegetable displays, boasting of bright bell peppers, deep purple eggplants, and an array of green hues from jalapeno peppers to […]

The Salmon “Special” One afternoon I came home with salmon. Trinidadian Salmon, to be specific. I had never heard of Salmon from Trinidad. I reasoned that since the market was using the origin of the fish as a selling point, it had to be good. The only way I can really describe my husband’s reaction […]
