LIME, Green & Grub Part 1

The jovial atmosphere at Caymanas Golf and Country Club was a quaint match for the cool afternoon temperatures last Sunday. Those attending LIME's Amateur Golf Tournament and cook-off, conceptualised by SportsMax, were treated to friendly rivalry among the six teams competing not only on the green but on the grill as well.

Chicken, beef and pork, compliments of Caribbean Broilers, were fired up on the grill, and the competing chefs (Advantage Generals versus Appleton Buccaneers, LIME Lions versus JMMB Eagles, and Sportsmax Max Pack versus Pure Country Springs) squared off in teams of two to whip up

Metric versus Imperial: Why I Choose Metric

Tweet

I recently received a flurry of emails after my rum and raisin cake was published. I was taken off guard because since the inception of this column I have used metric except on rare occasions. I didn't just suddenly use metric overnight. It's always been my practice. I will continue to use metric because it is what I was taught, and how I triple-test my recipes based on my measuring equipment. The fact is, 95 per cent of the world's population uses metric as it is the international standard of measuring weight and volume. The nations known as BUL (Burma -now known as Myanmar due to the military junta, United States of America and Liberia) are the only nations that still use the old imperial system. They are resisting joining the rest of the world, but trade and other factors will force them join in the future.

A Spirited Festival

Tweet

The postponement of the Jamaica Pegasus's Wine, Spirits & Food Festival due to Tropical Storm Tomas only meant that purveyors had a longer time to perfect their exhibitions.

Herb-roasted chicken with a white wine sauce.

Using sugar syrup, Blue Curacao, lime juice and Wray & Nephew white overproof rum, Wray & Nephew presented Sex in the Sun.

The event, held inside the hotel's Grand Jamaican Suite, was staged between Sunday, November 14 and Monday, November 15 and featured a variety of booths offering wines, savoury and sweet treats alike.
