I'm here...
>> Sunday, 27 February 2011
Hi Everyone,
I'm here. I was hoping to post yesterday but I've been too tired. This week has been particularly rough for me. I returned from a very successful book signing and book launch in Guyana last weekend (all the books were sold out before the actual book signing! The bookstore is currently restocking). Thank you Guyana!
Upon my return on Monday, I immediately began to prepare for my Tuesday morning class, then I had a number of meetings and several articles that needed to be completed by this weekend and that of course did not even include my weekly newspaper column. So to say that I have been busy... ummm yeah, just a little (smile). I have been feeling guilty about neglecting my blog and blog hopping.
I cannot say that things will return to some degree of normalcy but I can try my best and that is what I intend to do.
Hopefully, I'll have some photographs of the book signing/launch to share with you.
This week I did not have the chance to cook at all. I have been gladly feasting on the fish curry and fried fish that my sister and mom cooked and packed for me to bring back to Barbados. Thanks mom, thanks Sis! I needed all the help I could get this week.
This weekend (Feb 25 - 27) was Barbados' annual Agricultural fair - Agrofest. I went on Friday afternoon. Will share some pics with you soon. Until then, I'll leave you with this display and we'll catch up for sure next week, at least with a recipe.
Take care and have a productive week.

How wonderful that everything is going so well with the book! You deserve it : )
As soon as you mentioned bringing back the fish, a memory leapt to mind of my two Bahamian roommates at school flying back from Christmas break with great vats of conch salad. Delicious!!
Congratulations! Looking forward to the Agrofest pictures.
Congratulations Cynthia!!!!!!!
Welcome back Cynthia! Good to hear your book is doing really well.
Hey Cynthia - sorry I didn't make it back to Guyana in time for the book launch! I saw you on caribvision last night :-) Glad things are going well with the book. At least even if you're not blogging, you have provided people with an alternative :-D
I'm so happy that you're so busy with such wonderful things. I'm not surprised at all that your book is selling out. Take a little nap, if you can, and come back to us refreshed...and hungry.
Rock on and come back soon...
Cynthia, glad to see you back :-) Looks forward to the pictures!

Congrats and Happy to hear everything is going on well.
My dear, that's the nicest thing you could have said to me on the worst day I've had in a long time. Thank you so much for saying something so nice. You can't imagine what a difference it's made. Leaving this on your site to make sure you see it. Oh and I missed you too. Thanks for still being here when I came back. Big hug to you. xo
