A BRILLIANT IDEA: CARIBBEAN QUARANTINE PARTY

FLASHBACK: Pictured from left to right at the social event sponsored by THINGS TO DO DC at The Bahamas Embassy in Washington. D.C. on Friday, April 21, 2017  are: Mrs. Sharon Brennen-Haylock, Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration; one of the guests; His Excellency Dr. Eugene Newry, Bahamas Ambassador to the United States; Mrs. Francoise Torchon Newry, the Ambassador’s wife; and Mr. Mikhail Bullard, Second Secretary, Bahamas Embassy.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Although we would normally charge for promoting an event such as this in BAHAMAS CHRONICLE, this THINGS TO DO DC event is such a brilliant idea that I decided promote it gratis mainly because it was posted on Facebook by Mikhail Bullard of The Bahamian American Association of the Washington Metropolitan Region (BAAWMAR), which does a magnificent job keeping  Bahamian students and Bahamians in general living in DC, Maryland and Virginia (DMV) area informed of events that may be of  interest to them.)

WASHINGTON D.C. — Just because you are stuck inside  – it doesn’t mean you can’t experience the CARIBBEAN (or an Embassy Event). On Saturday, April 25th, bring the Caribbean right into your living room with a very interactive cultural experience and celebration!

The Spirit of the Bahamas,  Barbados, Jamaica, and the Virgin Islands come alive with a multi-faceted party that will offer you Caribbean cooking lessons, mixology, video, and a dance party with lessons!

Plus, we will break out interactive rooms during the evening to offer some special Caribbean games, trivia and a one on one experience with your fellow revelers!

Featuring:

1) CELEBRITY CARIBBEAN COOKING CLASS WITH HELL’S KITCHEN’S ROCK HARPER!

Straight from Gordon Ramsey’s Competitive “Hell’s Kitchen” and right into your personal kitchen, comes Season Three’s Winning chef, Rock Harper.  Begin the festivities tonight with an amazing Caribbean cooking class from Rock.  From A to Z, he will walk you through the steps to create a phenomenal Jamaican style meal (main course and dessert).

2)  CARIBBEAN MIXOLOGY BARTENDER

Incredible performance and class from one of the Caribbean’s best bartenders!  From last year’s Embassy Chef Challenge,  comes the award-winning bartender from Barbados!  Learn which rums and other cocktails will bring you (metaphorically) right to the beaches of the Caribbean through taste and style!  We will learn how to mix incredible drinks and hear incredible Caribbean bartending stories!
