Bahamian curried lobster: butter, onion, tomato, curry powder and a cup of stock, built around lobster meat that's already cooked.
Two rules. Bloom the curry powder in the butter before the tomato goes in. And give the lobster only 3 to 5 minutes to heat through, so it stays tender.
Serve over hot rice. 35 minutes.

#Rubio Promises Cuba a Better Future — in a Box
https://belly-of-the-beast.kit.com/posts/rubio-promises-cuba-a-better-future-in-a-boxAugust 13, 2026
[weekly newsletter about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective. Their videos can be found at: https://peertube.world/c/cuba_botb_videos/videos]The #Trump administration is touting a $100 million aid package for Cuba, most of which is being distributed by #CatholicChurch charities.
But the aid is a drop in the bucket compared to the damage caused by #US# sanctions and an #oil #blockade that has plunged the country into a humanitarian crisis.
In our latest video, Belly of the Beast journalist Yohan Rodríguez reports from Bejucal, a town on the outskirts of Havana, where residents welcomed the food kits but questioned the policies that made the aid necessary.

33m tons of toxic seaweed clogs Caribbean beaches – video
A record amount of sargassum has piled up along coastlines of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Sargassum is a brown seaweed that causes lower oxygen levels and foul-smelling gases when it decomposes on beaches. Researchers and marine scientists have warned that the algae build-up starves underwater plant life of sunlight, affects human health and can leak arsenic into sand

Video - Cuba Can’t Keep the Lights On. Rubio Says It’s a Superpower
https://peertube.world/w/fJgfR2tiGPiBjtpGBeAGo6
Duration - 1:30[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
In an interview with Lara Trump, U.S. Secretary of State #MarcoRubio called Cuba a “superpower” and a threat to the #UnitedStates. Lara Trump said Cuba is trying to wipe the U.S. from the face of the earth.
So how does an island struggling with blackouts, fuel shortages and a deep economic crisis pose an existential threat to the world’s most powerful country?
Journalist Yohan Rodríguez breaks down the farcical claims by #Trump and #Rubio, which are used to justify current #US policy.

Goodwill or Good Marketing? The Contradiction Of U.S. Aid To Cuba
https://peertube.world/w/rWJbEPAx1eMn65mGQYNmku
Duration - 12:08[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
The #US announced $100 million in humanitarian aid to Cuba, some of which is now being distributed to vulnerable families through the CatholicChurch.
So we went to #Bejucal, one of the towns where the aid first arrived.
In a town of 22,000 people, the Church delivered 380 boxes of aid. Those who received it expressed their gratitude. But there is a stark contradiction at the heart of the US aid effort: Washington is offering relief from a crisis its own policies have brought about.
