Saw your channel and immediately subscribed. Been living in the States for a year now after marrying my Haitian-American husband. Girl when I say I miss Haiti. I MISS IT. But every time I try to go back, family members are scaring the shit out of me and the news are scaring me too. I'm at the point of dreaming of local foods when I sleep lol. You just drove past my home in Bourdon. ❤️❤️❤️

Always great quality vlogs Rutty. To answer your question , yes I would like to see you show us more of what you do in the kitchen or in the house .Rice with coconut milk taste best to me.

[@ELamy802]

Just stumble on your channel and I am so inspired by you. As a American born to Haitian parents I have always had love and soft spot for Haiti. I want to buy real estate in the Cap Haitien area. My parents are from Port-au-Paix. My ultimate dream is to create a product or business concept that will provide economic development to Haitian women. I'm just trying to figure it out.

[@ruttyb]

That would be awesome!! I hope you’re able to do something like that.

[@tjules7]

We are interested in seeing it; that's why we are watching you 😀

[@supermom7570]

I enjoy watching your videos, it gives me an updated idea of the temperature and current situation in Haiti. When it comes to riz national or du riz cole, no in general we do not put coconut in it. Usually we put coconut in mais cole ak pois. at least that's how we do it in PAP I am from PAP so I am talking from what I've witnessed. But it's okay if it is how you guys do it in your part of the country. Keep on doing the videos and stay safe.

[@simplesimpe7988]

I am new to your channel. I'm so happy to have discovered your program! I love ❤ I wish you the very best! Good luck. 👍

[@pe4689]

I'm so glad to find your channel. I love seeing my fellow Ayitians posting videos of the beautiful country. Can you leave advice for Ayitians in the states looking to return? How accurate is the news in regards to safety coming back? Keep posting.

Lawddddd I’m stilllll trying to heal from the barbancourt 😭😭 lmfaoooo

Girlllll I was so hot after that one shot😂

[@f.-j.j.5738]

I'm sorry to be all over your comments like that, lol. That street market right next to Giant Supermarket is my mom's favorite. But the minute they heard your accent, prices probably doubled. I love AVANI too. The prices are already marked there so it's easier to not be taken for a ride.

[@ruttyb]

I barely go to Giant anymore. It seems really empty in there. I love Caribbean Market! It has everything you can find in the States. When buying on the street, my husband negotiates lol. That’s why I love Avani. I don’t have to worry about that.

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Love the apartment

[@jj007104]

Wow you just unlocked something for me. I grew up with my family from Cabaret and yeah no coconut in our diri kole but my sister grew up learning to cook from her mom and aunts from Jacmel and they use it. I have always been confused by that but now it makes sense. Also wow my spirit somehow remembers that yellow rice you’re talking about. I didn’t have it often but I remember when we use to go to family houses endeyo especially that rice is magic. Damn if I can just be 6 again for just one day living in my Ayiti Cherie

[@ruttyb]

I hope you can visit one day and have those old experiences! 🙏🏾🇭🇹

[@jj007104]

@@ruttyb Actually bought a ticket me and my cousin are going to Okap in October for my bday...so yes...and your channel had a lot to do with convincing both of us to make the trip...neither one of us knew there was such a place as Okap much less you can fly directly there from the U.S. Now he who is more skeptical of Haiti then I am is talking to me about buying property there and figuring out our early retirement plans...so things are in motion

[@ruttyb]

@@jj007104 omg this is wonderful!!! I’m glad you’ll be experiencing Okap soon💛

I would love if you did a cooking video with measurements! I miss haitian food

[@AlwaysBlessed562]

We need a house tour .

[@mariannaherard7390]

I love your videos . My suggestion is by meats and vegetables from the mache instead and seasoned the meat put it in freezer bag and freeze it . That’s should save you some money.

[@ruttyb]

Great idea! My only issue is going to the mache lol. There are only a few street markets that I feel comfortable going to in the PauP area. Like the one you saw in the video. It’s mainly a fruit & vegetable one, but I like it cause it isn’t hectic. I go to the street market when I’m in other towns, but not so much where I live.

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Black rice✅ Duri Djon 🤣❤️

Thanks for the video and what are the super markets you went to in Haiti 🇭🇹 again?

[@ruttyb]

I usually go to Caribbean Market or Belmart.

[@aishac9301]

I didn’t even watch the video yet and I subscribed so live my life for pls 😩

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Your hubby loves the “Bun Bun” bottom of the pot, delish

[@jahnrbli446]

is there a big gas issue in that area as well? Nice video btw. Keep safe.

[@charlierlaflosstv]

I don't use the coconut milk but I use creamed coconut. I used the milk one day and I think I put too much it made the rice mushy.

[@ruttyb]

The coconut milk replaces a certain amount of water you use. So if you were going to put 4 cups of water, you’d use 2 cups of water & 2 cups of coconut milk instead (just an example).

[@charlierlaflosstv]

@@ruttyb mmm ok. I will try it.

[@GegeP1804]

Also, are you able to plant any fruits and veggies where you are. I was born and grew up in port au prince and one thing I noticed, people in the city didn’t grow much of fruits/veggies. Thinking you can have some stuff available to you and that may cut out from grocery bill. Just an idea. Lol idk how to grow much, but a mango and avocado tree don’t require much once it get started.

[@ruttyb]

That’s something we definitely want to do when we build our house. We have passion fruit & a few others things now. But fruits & veggies aren’t really expensive cause we buy them locally on the street or at the farmers market. I usually only buy imported goods at the grocery store, which is super expensive. But local products aren’t too bad.

[@NajaB22]

Ooohhh where did you get the plate setters, the coasters and the napkin holder from pleeeasse. Girl One day I will be emailing you for help to book a trip to that hotel in Cap-Haitian🙏🏾🙏🏾bc these vlogs are giving me…request your days off months in advance so they can’t say no😝😝

[@ruttyb]

Haaaaa yes! Please let me know when you’re ready! I think I bought them somewhere in Haiti a long time ago before moving here. They sell them everywhere!

Such a great vlog mixed with a bit of street life/daily lifestyle, I saw you use 21:57 dermalogica skin products would you say they are good/worth the price ?

[@ruttyb]

Yes! I would definitely recommend Dermalogica. I have oily acne prone skin, so it’s hard to find good products. But they work.

It’s not like that. It’s just the way she explained it in her own understanding lol

[@ruttyb]

The first time I heard about that was actually in Haiti. But it isn’t burnt. I was saying “almost” burnt lol very crispy.

[@mariedestine8470]

my sis in the US 🇺🇸 even water 💧 😩 causes cancer if you’re believe on everything you heard from the news with no facts

[@WifeMomNurse777]

It’s not the burnt food. It comes from scraping then ingesting the compound PFOA in Teflon pans (nonstick pans). As for aluminum pans they claim that there is no risk.
