Cookbook Dedication
Cookbook is dedicated to my son Trent.
|
Trent is one of five children, number three to be exact. He was born on the kitchen floor, in a beach house in Scarborough, Maine, USA. It was moving day and we had the truck loaded up, ready to go. All the furniture and boxes had been packed, and we were now making one final sweep through the house before cleaning. As I began wiping things down, my back started to hurt, and before we knew it, I was in active labor. John pulled the mattress off the moving truck, threw it on the kitchen floor (along with a shower curtain), and 12 hours later, we had us a healthy “10 pound”, baby boy.
Trent spent his early years, living at the base of Mt. Gibb (a mountain in the Wet Mountain Valley, just shy of 14,000 feet). By the time Trent was nine (9) years old, the family made the trek to Belize, where he currently lives today. In the years that Trent has been in Belize, he grafted himself into the Belizean way of life. He came to love the local cuisine (so much so), that he came up with his own barbecue sauce, literally the best sauce any of us have ever tasted. This barbecue sauce, coupled with his love for the Belizean cuisine, is what inspired the writing of this cookbook. Trent married a young Belizean girl, by the name of Marcy and the two of them, welcomed their first child in June of 2017. People ask us all the time, if we’re ever moving back to the United States, and the answer is no. We’ve come to love living on an island (in the middle of no-where), on what everyone calls “island time” (which means, it gets done, when it gets done). This cookbook is dedicated to my son Trent and his beautiful wife, two individuals who have been such a blessings in my life. Barbecue is a great way for families to spend time with each other. So why not grab this book, cook a few things and enjoy being together. ALL MY LOVE..........Mama Bear |
