If i were a boy, I'll get a Hard-On looking at the virgins rather than looking at Micheline or[b] the one on page 52[/b].(Up close and personal with Nairalanders) Celebrities section.  I still love you Micheline. . . .my decision is just for the moment.

***SIGH****If you are not a Dakore Egbuson, Alecia Keys, Stephanie Okereke, Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Bimbo Akintola, Ini Edo or Halle Berry -  no need dissing these young ladies.   


back to sleep again

debosky:
Abeg send me the ticket jare! Maybe after the show we can get married so we can enjoy our virginity together.

If you are serious I can express the ticket to you but PLEASE don't accept it if you are not attending.  One of my friends is begging me for the ticket.  If you are joking let me know now.  In that way I'll give it to my rich spoil friend.

You are not a virgin. By looking at the male pics on this forum, only one fellow has the "virgin look". . .no one else.

hey debosky:

we can go on and on with this topic but let me end by saying - "i respect your opinion".

Just one thing on that anal sex - The bottom hole is for EXIT not ENTRY.

Good night my love, pleasant dreams

Funny, I was about to write your name under the thread "who are u missing"  Hmmm Kindred spirit or what?

Caribbean Food - A Little History
By Linda Thompkins

The Arawak, Carib, and Taino Indians were the first inhabitants of the Caribbean islands. These first inhabitants occupied the present day islands of British Virgin Islands, Cuba, Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Trinidad, and Jamaica. Their daily diet consisted of vegetables and fruits such as papaw, yams, guavas, and cassava. The Taino started the process of cooking meat and fish in large clay pots.

The Arawaks are the first people known to make a grate of thin green wood strips on which they slowly cooked meat, allowing it to be enhanced by the flavor of the wood. This grate was called a barbacoa, and the word we know today as barbeque is taken from this early Indian cooking method.

The Carib Indians added more spice to their food with hot pepper sauces, and also added lemon and lime juice to their meat and fish recipes. The Caribs are said to have made the first pepper pot stew. No recipes exist since every time the Indians made the dish, they would always add new ingredients. The Carib had a big impact on early Caribbean history, and the Caribbean sea was named after this tribe.

Then the Caribbean became a crossroads for the world . . .

Once the Europeans brought Africans slaves into the region, the slaves diet consisted mostly of food the slave owners did not want to eat. So the slaves had to be inventive, and they blended their traditional African foods with staples found on the islands. The Africans introduced okra, callaloo, fish cakes, saltfish, ackee, pudding and souse, mangos, and the list goes on.

Most present day Caribbean island locals eat a present diet that is reflective of the main ingredients of original early African dishes, and includes cassava, sweet potatoes, yams, plantains, bananas and corn meal.

African men were hunters in their homeland, and often away from home for long periods of time. They would cook spicy pork over hot coals, and this tradition was refined by the early slaves in Jamaica. The technique is known today as “jerk“ cooking , and the secret involves a slow meat cooking process. Jamaica is famous for jerk chicken and pork, and you’ll find jerk all over the island.

After slavery was abolished, the Europeans went to India and China for labor, and more cooking styles were introduced. Much of the Indian cooking culture remains alive and well in the Caribbean of today with the introduction of curried meats and curry powder. Indians call it kari podi, and we have come to know this pungent flavor as curry.

The Chinese introduced rice, which is always a staple in home cooked island meals. The Chinese also introduced mustard, and the early Portuguese sailors introduced the popular codfish.

Most visitors to the Caribbean have no idea that the fruit trees and fruits so familiar to the islands were introduced by the early Spanish explorers. The fruit trees and fruits brought from Spain include orange, lime, ginger, plantains, figs, date palms, sugar cane, grapes, tamarinds and coconuts.

Even the Polynesian islands play an important role in Caribbean cooking. Most of us remember the movie “Mutiny on the Bounty”, but do not know that particular ship carried breadfruit, which was loaded on board from the islands of Tahiti and Timor. In the movie the crew took over the ship, forced the captain into a small boat to fend on his own, and they threw the breadfruit, which they considered “strange fruit” overboard. Another ship was more successful in bringing breadfruit from Polynesia to Jamaica and the St Vincent and the Grenadines. Breadfruit is a staple diet in the current day Caribbean

America is responsible for introducing beans, corn, squash, potatoes, tomatoes, and chili pepper to the Caribbean. In fact these particular foods had never been seen in Asia, Europe or Africa, so America actually introduced these foods the rest of the world via the Caribbean.

So it's no wonder Caribbean cooking is so rich and creative with the flavors of Africa, India, and China, along with Spanish, Danish, Portuguese, French and British influences. Food served in the Caribbean islands have been influenced by the cultures of the world, but each island adds its own special flavor and cooking technique.


The Coal Pot

I had the opportunity to eat food (from a Rasta Dude) cooked on a coal pot. The Rasta used a pot made from dirt (can’t remember the name of the pot). I am sure you are thinking “dirt pot. . .yeah right” but it’s true, The Rasta dude cooked rice and bean with okra, carrot, cabbage and coconut juice, Mmm, Yummy. May God strike me if I am lying? The food was “off-the-hook” (very delicious). And guess what? No salt was added to the food yet it tasted as if salt was added. He said the taste came from the smoke (LOL)

Coal pot was the main method of cooking (Caribbean) back in the days. As per the Rasta dude, it was an “upgrade” from the three (3) stones. However, some folks (especially Rastas) still use the coal pot to cook with.

His “stories” on method of cooking from then to now . . . . . .Ok, just say, I didn’t want to leave his “back yard” in Tortola

Below is a picture of a coal pot. However, the Rasta coal pot different from this one (looks better ). His coal was at the top and pot was on the coal.

He spoke about wood stove etc. Later I’ll write more. I need sleep. Up since 4am cooking

Nice!!!

How accurate is Wikipedia?

There is another entrant in the ongoing debate over Wikipedia's accuracy. Thomas Chesney, a Lecturer in Information Systems at the Nottingham University Business School, published the results of his own Wikipedia study in the most recent edition of First Monday, and he came up with a surprising conclusion: experts rate the articles more highly than do non-experts. This is the article's abstract:

Wikipedia is an free, online encyclopaedia which anyone can add content to or edit the existing content of. The idea behind Wikipedia is that members of the general public can add their own personal knowledge, anonymously if they wish. Wikipedia then evolves over time into a comprehensive knowledge base on all things. Its popularity has never been questioned, although its authority has. By its own admission, Wikipedia contains errors. A number of people have tested Wikipedia’s accuracy using destructive methods, i.e. deliberately inserting errors. This has been criticised by Wikipedia. This short study examines Wikipedia’s credibility by asking 258 research staff with a response rate of 21 percent, to read an article and assess its credibility, the credibility of its author and the credibility of Wikipedia as a whole. Staff were either given an article in their own expert domain or a random article. No difference was found between the two group in terms of their perceived credibility of Wikipedia or of the articles’ authors, but a difference was found in the credibility of the articles — the experts found Wikipedia’s articles to be more credible than the non–experts. This suggests that the accuracy of Wikipedia is high. However, the results should not be seen as support for Wikipedia as a totally reliable resource as, according to the experts, 13 percent of the articles contain mistakes.

Read the article here. Arstechnica compares this with Nature's study:

Nature did a highly-publicized comparative study between Wikipedia and the Encyclopedia Britannica last year in which they found that the two were similar in terms of accuracy. Britannica disputed those findings and still claims to offer a more reliable product.
