Re: touching base.... working with a green calabash

Hi Errol
I've been holding back to allow for other messages on the blog but last week was a bit sparse. I guess the North Americans must be caught up in the election campaign. Please God everyone will be able to come together for a truly united country when the dust settles after the counting of votes next week. It is very interesting to watch the proceedings and hear the comments... use of English is special! One sentence can mean so many different things depending on where you are listening from.
I'm still working on the calabash and include photos of my latest effort... the fascination continues.On the culinary side. if anyone can share a recipe for fry bake ( Montserratians call them muffins) which puffs up when fried, so that there is more crust on the outside and lots of air on the inside I would be most grateful. I have tried a number of suggestions but none has worked for me so far.
Looking forward to news of the Reunion. All the best to everyone. Pat

My fellow Mausican Authors,
Please be informed that the Rudranath Capildeo Learning Resource Center in Couva purchases books for distribution to High Schools in TNT. They recently bought 125 copies of my first book, "Remember Wen?". One book per school.
The National Library also buys books for distribution to the libraries in TNT. They also have good facilities for hosting your book signings and readings. I had a very successful event there after the 2007 reunion.
My books and CDs are available at some bookstores: RIK in Sando, The Book Sauce, Ishmael M Khan and Metropolitan's in POS. Also from my sister, Monica Chapman, in Dinsley, 640-6040. I also fill mail orders from my home in Stone Mountain, GA. 404-501-9277.
Thank you for your continued support.
As usual,
Rodney Foster.

Hi Errol
How are you doing? Greetings to all.
I wish to make a correction.
A mini-Trini-reunion has been planned. It is:
A Creole Luncheon ,On Saturday, November 29 ~ 11:30 am - 3:00pm @ Cascadia Hotel, St Anns, Trinidad . Cost of a ticket is $225.
The idea for this venture was born during one of our Kirkendale get-togethers and was organized by Judith Lennard, Anthea Permell, Theodora Archibald,Phyllis Mottley, Elsa Joseph, Kathleen Clarke-Richardson, Josephine Simmonds, Yvonne Nicky AND Korenza.
Phyllis sent on this information a while back. Tickets have been distributed to Mausicans around the country. Seating is limited to 200, so all interested should contact on of us listed above as soon as possible.
This is a warm-up to Grenada 2009, so we hope to receive information from the "Grenada" committee soon.
See you all in Grenada.

Carlston Gray will be honored at the Brighton Neighborhood Association's Annual Awards Dinner on Thursday, October 23rd. Attached is a copy of the beautifully illustrated invitation.
Although this date precludes teacher attendance because of Open School Night, let us join together in spirit as we acknowledge Grady's recognition by the community.
Thank you,

Thanks for the telephone numbers. The young lady who writes for the Guardian has assured me that she will be working on the article about Mrs. Cuffie.
