I was invited out to a friend's house for dinner by her parents. They wanted to ensure that a young West Coast girl, living away from her family ate heartily on a Sunday night.
A fire rumbled in the hearth and reggae music cooly played off the background. By candle light we ate barbequed ribs, corn on the cob, baked potato with garlic butter and stir fried vegetables. And for dessert banana split ice cream bars. All home cooked, all delicious (except for the dessert of course).
I drank copious amounts of shiraz and laughed all night. It felt so good.
My friend and her family spend a lot of time in Barbados. This is the only Caribbean Island I've ever been to, but it made me realize just how much soul the culture has to offer. Tonight was full of that soul food and it did my heart so much good.
