5 Tbsp. Lemon juice
1 Tbsp. Curry powder (Special Madras)
5 Cloves garlic, crushed
1 onion, chopped
Leaves from 1 stalk celery, chopped
1 small hot pepper, chopped fine
2 chicken bouillon cubes/powder
2 Tbsp. Vegetable oil
2 tomatoes, chopped

Bamboo Chicken...

It is easier to skin if you boil it for a few minutes.

Bon Voyage!

In the City at the moment - thinking back on Guyana......

El Dorado Rum with a dash of soda........and my thoughts bring me back to..Guyana....

The Amerindians are descendants of the original inhabitants of Guyana. Most of them live in tribal groups in the coastal regions and further inland. The coastal tribes are the Caribe, Arawak, and Warao.

On my way on the slow flowing Demerara River which, is located in Eastern Guyana. It rises in the forests of Central Guyana and flows northward without important tributaries for 215 miles to the Atlantic Ocean at Georgetown.

Guyana is one of the primary countries for the export of birds - here is a boy who lived in the jungle with his very pleasant family and a vicious little parrot.....

Here is a photo of the highly priced Labba... it is a large rodent, which prefer and live close to water and rivers. A rodent with many names depending on where it is found in the tropics/sub-tropical Americas. The meat is a delicacy.
