As Louise said, no lasagna pans. In fact, I often have found no cookie sheets even. We have made do with the broiler pan, upon occasion, with aluminum foil on it. Before I buy something like Corelle, I would check at Carrefour, as I seem to remember they had aluminum one use type pans. Either there, or Super U, or Ace.

I know Pat is reading this and laughing... “Why would I cook or grocery shop in SXM? “ LOL! And out loud no less. And just to set the record straight, I do cook on the island but I don’t shop if there’s any way in the world to avoid it. That's but one of the reasons I fell in love with Jeannie at Shopndrop as soon as she started her business. Yes, I lost my head at one point and made some recommendations to her in a PM, about things to buy at the grocery store. She set me straight in short order!!! Pat really HATES to shop for anything but groceries above all else. And as much as she likes pretty shiny things, she even hates to shop in jewelry stores!!
Respectfully,
pat

Not until midweek Terry. Trying to pack and do a gazillion things in preparation and anticipation. Definitely will head to Jules while there but thinking the Nutella probably won’t hit CT so I will apologize in advance! 😊😊

A few new people came in the other day. I went out to the pool and it had the most people I've ever seen out there. Finally met Karen, Wild Bill and Pat. Very nice people.

My guess is no because they have a lantern in the closet with the safe that was pointed out to us in case of power failure. That doesn't necessarily say there is no backup generator. Even though the Flamingo had backup power we also had hurricane candles and flashlights supplied in our rooms.

For what it’s worth, and allowing for the fact we haven’t spent nearly the amount of time at BSV as have so many, we can now count multiple weeks of stays, and even with the heavy rains and winds of last November’s trip, we’ve never lost power or water there. Should I bite my tongue now or next week?

Yes, Wingman, it counts a lot!!!! I'm happy you all met--they are nice people. I noticed some of the people in your group are new---I didn't recognize them and missed some that I expected to see. Hope everyone is well. Hopefully our trips will coincide again and we can enjoy a drink together.

Wingman would know for sure. We've never been out of power or water there either.

Wingman would know for sure. We've never been out of power or water there either. Back in the earlier days, 90's to early 2000's, it would happen a lot. I can honestly say that I can't remember the last time the power went out here(knocking very hard on wood right now). I'm usually here for 2 weeks in the fall(here now) and 2 weeks March into April. So there's a month out of the year that it hasn't happened....

Wingman would know for sure. We've never been out of power or water there either. GEBE was having generator problems around 3 or 4 years ago, in November, and turned power on and off for weeks. The whole island was having problems. It was the same time when they had the "Super Moon", and it was amazing how the whole beach lit up, and we could make it back to our Villas with no problem.. At other times, power and water was off, but never for long. Everything has been updated there.

Thanks! It's always beautiful here. My sous chef said he didn't mind cooking with me as we hear the waves, and can watch the water. We are ON the beach so don't need to go anywhere. Plus after several beach days in the past 9 days and then 8 hours on a boat sailing one day this week, we've had QUITE enough sun! lol.... Cocktails, wine, and appetizers will be out on the deck as the sun sets....perfect. I love bringing an eclectic group of people together over food. ((come on over Carol...there are two trays!))
