Description

The Sundy-Marnin Bruckfus 2 (Sunday-Morning Breakfast 2) was an Antiguan custom. I do not think that it is so anymore. The Breakfast was more like a brunch. It mainly consisted of fungi, salt fish, chopped vegetables, cocoa rolled into a dark chocolate and made into what we call "tea". Tea is any drink that is hot--except soup. The tea either had cow’s milk or coconut milk. It was thick and creamy. Oh...we also had a big bread with a plate on it. Most everything was done in the "Yard" in the days gone by.

Many of my paintings with yard scenes show a kitchen that is not attached to the house. That is how I remember it. There were the main house, the kitchen, and, of course, the outhouse, all separate. (See the outhouse between the kitchen and the dwelling-house).

There is a joke about our neighbor that went to the doctor because she was getting really 'thin and sickly'. The doctor told her that her house was too far from her kitchen and that if she did not make a change, she may die very soon. She asked my dad and some other men in the village to help her move her kitchen closer to the house. They helped her move. As a matter of fact, she attached the kitchen to her house. It was the first one like that in the village, as far as I know. She did get better, too. I guess with the kitchen so close, she began eating a lot more.

Notice how items and packaging are recycled. The Father is drinking his 'coco-tea' from a big butter can that he turned into a cup. His seat is made from salt fish boxes strapped together. The boy is sitting on a burlap bag that held a100 pound pounds of rice, the ‘tea-pot’ on the fire is made from a WIBISCO biscuit tin, the mother is eating out of a calabash, and the copper vessel on the right was discarded at the sugar factory. It was used there to crystallize sugar. It is now used by this family to harvest rain water.
