My family recently went to Neil’s Cafe,which is run by one of my close friends from college, mother, Andrea Neil. It is located in New Rochelle, New York at 534 North Ave across the street from City Hall.

Whether you are near or far, a visit to Neil’s Cafe is totally worth a visit! It’s a small and homely restaurant that serves Caribbean and Southern dinners. The food is scrumptious and the price range is affordable. If you are from the Islands and miss Caribbean style cooking, I encourage you to check out Neil’s Cafe.

a 15 minimum dollar free delivery is offered, a student discount is offered and there is catering for all occasions

the phone number is 914-355-5857.

 

12345 Chocolate

Chocolate or what?

One of my students came to me really excited:

Miss Lilly, you want some chocolate?

Yeah, why not.

She then pulled this piece of chocolate -so I thought- out of her pocket. It was really a calculator. It was wrapped in tin foil and smelled like a chocolate bar. Only, it was not edible. It was a calculator.

She bought it from the book fair.

Fruit Market

 

I am excited because a Fruit Market just opened up on Tremont Avenue. This is the second Fruit Market. Hopefully it will change the people in my neighborhood eating habits and help them make healthy decisions. After all, there is not much of an excuse now, is there?

Grapefruit

Last year I blogged about receiving grapefruit from a church member who has her own grapefruit tree in Florida. This year before anyone could ask me what I wanted for my birthday, I made sure I asked for grapefruit from that same tree. I wasn’t a grapefruit fan before but after eating it help to clear up my sinus’ and kept me from getting sick during the winter, I plan to eat them every time it gets cold.

So, I got some grapefruit from that same tree in Florida for my birthday (without charge).

Gustiamo’s Tasting

Posted on by

This pass Saturday I visited Gustiamo, an Italian food company, to attend their a tasting. I haven’t blogged about Gustiamo in a while, so to tell some of my new followers about Gustiamo, I’ll just say that their food is indeed high quality food. Knowing about Gustiamo did change my way of looking at food and even my way of eating. Some of their products are expensive but I would encourage anyone to buy at least their olive oil  and taste real Italian food.

The following photos were taken at the Tasting.

Gustiamo’s Tasting

I know this picture is a little blurry but look at  little Joaquin’s face. He was so excited to be tasting Gustiamo’s food. He wanted to try all the jams on the table and I think if his dad was not there to guide him, he would have.

No matter how many jams he tried, he kept going back to the Bergamot Marmalade by Caffè Sicilia.

Before Joaquin’s father manged to pull him away from the table, Joaquin pointed to the Bergamot Marmalade and declared that it was the yummy one. This was before Martina cut the Traditional Pandoro by Pasticceria Biasetto,a sweet type of holiday cake. After he got a piece of the cake, he walked away from the table with his eyes towards the heavens repeatedly saying SUPER YUMMY.
