Festival of Holi (Phagwah) :: The St. Kitts-Nevis Observer
Another one of our accomplishments as husband and wife.
Sensitizing a group of people who lived all there lives without any knowledge whatsoever of the rich cultures of Phagwah.
We were the first Guyanese persons who were allowed the opportunity to have a free print space to educate others. God is Good.
Hurray to us!

Hinduism And Nevis :: The St. Kitts-Nevis Observer
An accomplishment not only for my husband and I who coined this article, the first of its kind to ever be published in the newspapers of St. Kitts and Nevis but also to all those Hindus living on the island.
This article educates the population here and many others living on these small islands as Nevis who has no history of our rich culture and ancestral background.
Shout out to my husband and me.... Very Proud!

Quiche
Recipe requested by Sabrina of Nevis ( St. Kitts & Nevis).
I hope she enjoys it as much as all of you.
Ingredients
6 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Salt and pepper
2 cups chopped spinach
1 large tomato
1/4 cup sweet corn
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 store bought pastry dough or homemade pastry dough
2. Combine the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender or even by hand using an egg whisk.
3. Place the pastry dough at the bottom of your baking pan.
4. Layer the spinach, tomato, corn, and cheese on top of the pie crust, then pour the egg mixture on top. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until the egg mixture is set. Cut into 8 wedges.
Note
You should always remember that the swiss cheese can be substituted with cheddar cheese if you have that instead. I always use cheddar cheese because I love cheddar cheese.
Additionally, you can make bacon or broccoli or just spinach quiche using this exact recipe by just substituting the greens used here with whatever vegetables or meat or fish you want to eat. It doesn't matter.
Any type of quiche will be absolutely delicious!
Enjoy

Pastry Dough
So I promised to post the Quiche recipe but before I do that I have to post the recipe for the perfect pastry for the quiche.
Easily made by hand or in a food processor.
Ingredients
- 4oz plain flour
- pinch of salt
- 2oz butter, cubed
- 2-3 tbsp cold water
Method
- Put the flour and salt in a large bowl and add the cubes of butter.
- Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until you have a mixture that resembles coarse breadcrumbs with no large lumps of butter remaining.
- Stir in just enough of the cold water to bind the dough together.
- Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill for 10-15 minutes before using.
- Alternatively using a food processor, put the flour, butter and salt in the food processor and pulse until the fat is rubbed into the flour.
- With the motor running, gradually add the water through the funnel until the dough comes together. Only add enough water to bind it and then stop.
- Wrap the dough in clingfilm as before and chill for 10-15 minutes before using.
Enjoy!
