    I was laughing and crying at the same time watching your video. My people left Barbados to build the Panama Canal a century ago, and with them came all the Bajan traditions. We still strip down the house for Christmas we paint, we hang new curtains, we got to have new bedding in our beds, the whole nine yards. Black Cake for Christmas is a must in Panama, even families who are not of West Indian descend have it in their tables. I preserve my fruits an entire year in advance, so I can’t wait to try your recipe.
    Thank you for posting this video, sis.

      Hi Dulce, Thank you for your beautiful comments! My Great grandparents also left to work on the Panama Canal, My grandfather never return to Barbados but my great grandmother did. I don't know too much about they stories I was little at the time. Many of our people left the Island and I'm sure was looking for a better life, things back then was very tough. I can see them taking part of their culture along with them. Hopefully soon in the near future I will visit Panama and get to see this Canal that attracted so many of our people. Thank you for watching. Be bless

    Oh Tina girl, tell it. You brought back such good memories as a child growing up in Barbados. Just how you told it is exactly how it was for me too. As usual your videos are always captivating and I could always watch them to the very end. You make me want to come to your house and watch you cook, truly. I really watch this video to see if you did your cake differently. The only thing that was different was to put the pan of water in the oven. That was new for me and I will try it. Thanks again for another piece of Barbados 🇧🇧. Great video. My mother is not much of a baker but I introduce her to your videos and now she is willing to try your recipes, how about that. Beautifully done

My grandmother would chase you out of the kitchen when she was cooking but I still learned a few things from her. Bless your heart, I am glad to know my videos are captivating, to hear that makes everything I am doing worth while. Thanks for watching and continue to share the channel.

He brought me over the jar of prepared fruit. He left us in January. I never received the lesson.😢 I want to honor him by completing the task, but did not know where to begin. I am sure it will not be as amazing as his, but my daughter, who inherited his love for baking, and I want to try. 😁

She taught me how to preserve the fruits which I have been set for years; checking and adding wine. I now have two large glass jars full. No one does fruit cake-like Barbados. Thank you Thank you. I plan to do my cakes this week before New Years' Eve 2020 and I will report back to you on how it went. I am truly happy to have found you and please keep sharing baking and cooking from Barbados.

    know of the grass bed. I’ve never heard of that before we never have grass band live in Belize city and they would mattresses spring mattresses and that’s what we had but just the same way you described that it’s the same way we doesn’tbelieve, especially when making that black and black fruitcake and white cake my grandmother used to make 5 pounds of white cake and a metal bucket and then she mixed it with the paddle a wooden paddle because we never have electric hand beater, but it was pure fun and excited for the day that the Lord had that on the cross for us and we were happy kids and our grandparents provide for us Thank God for them. We had a lovely childhood living in Belize and I guess you guys done the same in Barbados as well I love😊❤ the accent laugh out loud have a wonderful Christmas season merry Christmas.

I'm from the old school growing up with my grandmother, she would always say put a pinch of this or a dash of that, everything was just eye balling so I grew up doing the same thing. When I started this channel I knew people wanted to have measurement so I worked on it and today I'm able to bring some great tasting original Barbados recipe.
