[@jayc9431]

The music sucks

[@mssexyk351]

When I was young I would have to be in the kitchen with my grandmother grinding the dhal and I hated being in the kitchen.

[@trinilifewithvedesh]

I am sure now you miss those days

[@mssexyk351]

I wish i could go back i would stay in the kitchen i miss it. Now I'm on KZbin learning to cook Trinidad food. 3 weeks ago first time cooking curry chicken had to call my dad for instructions and it came out great. I will be making the greening seasoning this weekend cant wait. I'm excited.
