There’s nothing like the smoky flavor you get from tomatoes roasted over an open flame 🔥 This fire-roasting step gives our Caribbean-style fire roasted tomato salsa its rich, charred flavor and depth.

Inspired by Trinidadian tomato choka, this simple technique transforms fresh tomatoes into a bold, smoky salsa that’s perfect with everything.

Gratitude for a Community That Shows Up 🤍

This past week, PNW Plateful, in collaboration with Calypso Kitchen, was able to send out over 1,000 hot, freshly cooked, nutritious meals to neighbors affected by the recent flooding in Everson, Nooksack, and Sumas here in Whatcom County.

This work was only possible because of the incredible organizations and individuals who stepped up alongside us. We are deeply grateful for the support and collaboration of:

State Senator Sharon Shewmake
State Representative Joe Timmons
Resilience Fund of Whatcom Community Foundation
PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center

Their support allowed us to cook, pack, and deliver meals with care, dignity, and urgency.

We also want to extend heartfelt thanks to every volunteer, driver, organizer, neighbor, and community member who found a way to help this past week whether through donations, deliveries, check-ins, coordination, or simply showing up for one another. The care we witnessed across our community was powerful.

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to join Senator Sharon Shewmake on deliveries, and it was a moving reminder of how much a warm meal can mean during a moment of crisis, and how strong our community is when we work together.

At PNW Plateful and Calypso Kitchen, we are grateful for the trust placed in us, for the partnerships that make this work possible, and for a community that continues to lead with compassion.

Thank you for standing together. Thank you for helping in every way you could. Thank you for being here for one another.

In response to the recent flooding in Whatcom County, PNW Plateful, in collaboration with Calypso Kitchen, is preparing and distributing 150 hot, nourishing meals each day this week to families and individuals impacted by the floods.
This work is made possible through the collective support of community partners who have stepped up to ensure our neighbors are cared for during this time, including:
~ Calypso Kitchen
~ State Representative Sharon Shewmake
~ Representative Joe Timmons
~ PeaceHealth St. Joseph's Medical Center
~ Resilience Fund of the Whatcom Community Foundation
Because of this shared effort, hot meals are being prepared daily and delivered throughout the county to provide comfort, stability, and dignity to families navigating the aftermath of this disaster.
If you would like to support this flood relief effort, donations can be made through PNW Plateful. Please write “Flood Relief” in the comment section when making your donation so your gift is directed specifically toward meals for flood-impacted neighbors.
We are deeply grateful for the collaboration, trust, and generosity that make this response possible. When community comes together, care becomes action. 💛

Caribbean Warmth, Island Soul, for the PNW cold.
There’s something about fall and winter in the Pacific Northwest that makes me lean into comfort,slow simmered pots, fragrant steam, bowls that feel like a hug.
But truthfully… stews, soups and braises were comfort even in the Trinidadian heat I grew up in.
Rainstorm or blazing sun, soup, stew, braise were always welcome.

Now, living far from home, these dishes take me right back to who I am.
This week in the kitchen I simmered:

🍲 Stewed Chicken with Long Beans (Bodi) tender, saucy, full of bell peppers and tomatoes
🍛 Curried Beef with Potatoes + Carrots, melt-in-your-mouth beef, warm spices, deep flavor
🥥 Light Coconut Curry with Flat Rice Cake Noodles broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, meat-free, silky, vibrant

All three are pure comfort, have the beef and chicken over rice, with naan, quinoa, or whatever grain you love.The rice noodle dish can be eaten on its own or paired with a main. Yum!
Warm bowls for cold Pacific Northwest days… and a taste of home for me.
