Daily Bread, Aruba

People frequently ask me about the food in the grocery stores here in Aruba. Regular visitors looking to stay longer on the island want to know what they can find in terms of the regular staples. So, I made this little video about the bread (rolls) from three different bakeries.

As mentioned, each of these bakeries sells a full line of products, including wheat, white, and oat bread. When time permits, I’ll make more videos showing different items from various stores so that you’ll have a better idea what to expect when you’re here. Hope this has been helpful.

Interview with ATV 15, Aruba

This afternoon, Yentl Lieuw of ATV 15, Aruba’s NBC affiliate, interviewed me about my novels, An Island Away and Under A Blue Flag. This was fun and informative, working with professional news people, seeing them practicing their craft. Here’s a still shot of my mug.

Next time, I’ll be sure not to reach for the water bottle when someone is taking a snap. Ah, no worries. I enjoy these interviews. Lots of fun talking about books, writing, Aruba, three of my favorite subjects. I only wish I could go back and edit, the way it’s possible to polish up a paragraph in a book. That way, no one gets to see the mistakes.

Dushi Bagels and More! video

Dushi Bagels and Burgers & Burgers share the same operation in front of the Playa Linda along Aruba’s high-rise hotel area. For breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they offer you plenty of options, from a sesame bagel with cream cheese to a bacon cheeseburger to a chicken dinner. Here’s the video with plenty of details.

Those prices are very reasonable, which means you won’t break the bank when munching on your favorites. Dushi Bagels and Burgers & Burgers are a great alternative for a casual meal so give them a try if you’re looking for something easy. Bon dia.
