Book Review: The Fat Man, A Tale of North Pole Noir

The Fat Man a tale of the North Pole Noir is a interesting little tale that twists many of the stories, songs and tall tales we have grown to know about Christmas into its own original spin. Written by Ken Harmon, it features not only Santa himself but enters you into a world of his elves and their surroundings. It also adds a bit of mystery into creativity into what could have been quite a tired tale. It has been officially summarized: "Fired from his longtime job as captain of the Coal Patrol, two-foot-three inch 1,300-year-old elf Gumdrop Coal is angry. He's one of Santa's original elves, inspired by the fat man's vision to bring joy to children on that one special day each year. But somewhere along the way things went sour for Gumdrop. Maybe it was delivering one too many lumps of coal for the Naughty List. Maybe it's the conspiracy against Christmas that he's starting to sense down every chimney. Either way, North Pole disillusionment is nothing new: S...

Review: Sau Tao Sichuan Noodles

So after a trip to a wholesale Asian store, I found a little noodle pack that I had never seen before. Sau Tao Sichuan Noodles is very interesting. It costs more than the cheap ramen, which can cost from around two dollars and up (I paid fourteen dollars for it) but it is made to feed two people. It is the first ramen that I have seen made for two but its kinda cute when I think about it. Anyway I bought the beef flavor and actually made it like soup (usually I just drain out the water and eat the noodles part after cooking it) and I actually really liked it. The noodles tasted nice so did the liquid part. One serving was indeed a lot though and it did manage to full me up. The ramen is available in other flavors that you can try like chicken and wonton soup. Honestly what sold me on the product before I bought it was the way it was packaged. Everything was just so neat and I love the way the tied up the noodles. I would recommend people try it and judge for themselves. I think I...

2nd Biennial Red Cross Youth in Concert

On a typical Sunday, one of my cousins informed me that she had tickets to the Red Cross Youth in Concert and asked if I would like to attend. I would only have a half hour to get ready though because the venue, Southern Academy of the Performing Arts (SAPA) is very far from home. It was really late notice but I didn't mind going to support the little kids who were showing off their talents to raise funds. A long Car ride later and we finally reach our destiny, a few minutes late but there. What I liked: 1) We have so many amazing talented kids in Trinidad and Tobago. As a citizen I am extremely proud. 2) The talents varied from dancers, singers, and musicians to monologues and speech bands among others. 3) Some of these little kids came out to represent and they did so well. 4) All the talents...some of them blew me away. The drummers and Tassa players made me want to get up and dance. The pan players were all entertaining. Sometimes I cant stand pan but I have to ad...
