I used to burn water

July 8th, 2007 · No Comments · Cooking, Saba

In case the photos in the sidebar are not obvious enough, I’ve become quite obsessed with food and cooking since we moved to this tiny island.

School

January 21st, 2007 · No Comments · Family, Medical School, Saba

We finally had enough of Andrew’s medical school and its lack of support for students who plan to take the USMLE Step 1 and do rotations in the United States. We decided he needs to attend an institution that has a little bit more structure in that department and so he sent an application to […]
