I'm always down for some good food and good music! It doesn't hurt that it was on a beautiful full moon night. Our beach here on Harbour Island is stunning during the day but if you want an experience, try walking our gorgeous beach on a night when the beach is completely lit by the full moon.
Love was in the air on Valentine's day. Everyone was either giving or receiving gifts of chocolate, flowers and more. Bish and I realized pretty early on that most people would be caught up in the chocolates and lunch dates and wouldn't be ordering much...
A little tip when you love to socialize, you don't have to eat a heavy meal every single time you go out! I don't. Here's what I do with my version of high-end hangin out!
I heard that Da Brilanders, a local live band, was going...
The thing about planning a birthday party worthy of little Ms. Ayden, is making sure you take note of all the little details without robbing the bank! I know her birthday isn't until August but when living on an island, there are a ton of things that are simply not here. Also, having a theme in advance allows you to pick up little things along the way at great prices. I love planning her parties so much I couldn't resist giving you the run down on at least the last two years.
I love cooking in new kitchens almost as much as I love meeting new people. The home last night was JAVA HOUSE, a beautiful home with an entertainment room, additional cottage, pool and best of all a fabulous kitchen!
The other day i took another trip over to Eleuthera for the day. You know that's my hang out spot! I linked up with another gang of friends and decided to go swimming in a nearby blue hole.

Didn't I mention that Harbour Island has royalty? I'm related to the queen! Well, she's not REALLY a queen but she's my queen. Jacqueline Gertrude Percentie is my grandmother and she sits on her throne, her porch, on Harbour Island directly across the street from...
Here is the deal. I'm not a lush by far but two years ago I became interested in drinks, libations, al-co-MA-hol! The reason this started two years ago is because this is when I decided to call Harbour Island home again. Thus began my cocktail and wine education. There are a few fabulous spots on Harbour Island where you can get great cocktails. Some of these places are posh and sophisticated, while others are really simple and laid back. This is one of those spots.
At the beginning of the season, here on Harbour Island, something wonderful happened! Well, at least I thought it was wonderful. Almost all of the hotels had new chefs! For a complete foodimite, who's tried almost every dish on every menu, this was an opportunity to try out new chefs and new menus. Thus commenced the favorite foods festivities, I grabbed my girlfriend Joanne from The Hatch and headed over to my first stop, the Dunmore Hotel's restaurant at lunch.
So I decided to take a weekend to hang out with a few of my girlfriends on Eleuthera! Eleuthera is a gorgeous island that's just 5 minutes away from me by water taxi. It's an island that is has as much history as it does beauty. You can rent a car and visit a number of townships, or settlements as we call them, and discover a little magic in each one.
