Alexie F: QUESTION 1...................WHAT MADE U WANT 2 DO A COOK BOOK???

 Trina: My youngest son Raymond kept suggesting it after I had turned down the idea of opening a restaurant & after my second book was written. I realized I had a lot of different foods that I loved that were passed down to me or that I created.  & I thought about having others contribute recipes that I love or have wanted to try.

Alexie F: QUESTION 2 .....HOW MANY PEOPLE DID U APPRAOCH ABOUT SUBMITTING RECIPES???

Trina:  For this particular one I approached 3 & 2 approached me

Alexie F: QUESTION 3...HAVE U MADE ANYTHING OF THE RECIPES IN THE COOKBOK THAT WERENT UR RECIPEES....LOL

Trina:  Yes, quite a few. Some are revised recipes based on life style too

Alexie F: QUESTION 4...WHOS IDEA WAS IT 4 THE COVER

Trina:  It was a combo of me using one of Anthony old drawings & he just putting his design skills to work.  Orange is my favorite color so it just made sense.

Alexie F: QUESTION 5.....IS THEIR A 2ND COOKBOOK IN THE WORKS

Trina:  Yes I am already in work for a second book. I already approached a few people, not everyone.. but a few. I already envision the cover which will be a color change

Alexie F: ARE U GONNA HAVE A BOOK SIGNING

Trina:  Yes I have a signing & testing here in West Palm Beach on April 21 J Riley Fashion Boutique 413 25th St in the Northwood district.  Tickets are available here

Alexie F: QUESTION 6..ON UR PERSONAL TIME DO U ENJOY COOKING

Trina:  I do enjoy cooking but I am a selfish cook. I like my kitchen totally clear of people & clutter…LOL

Alexie F: QUESTION 7,WHATS UR MOST IMPRESSIVE DISH

Trina:  Macaroni & cheese…& Believe it or not a recipe that I didn’t put in this edition. Lasagna…it was my dad’s favorite. I couldn’t step foot into NYC w/out making 3 pans of it…. One to share… one for my aunt & one whole for him. …He would cut it up & freeze it….LOLOL

Alexie F: QUESTION 8..WHERE CAN PEOPLE FIND UR BOOK

Trina:  on AMAZON  I also just launched  my dessert line Diz-E Delites.  

Alexie F: QUESTION 9...DO U EVER SEE URSELF OPENING UP A RESTAURANT

Trina:  Anthony & I always wanted to open two things an artsy home-style spot & a bed & breakfast w/ a lot of art adorning the rooms, Not ruling it out.. just not right now

Alexie F: QUESTION 10,,ARE U PROUD OF UR SUCCESS WITH ALL UR BOOKS

Trina:  Yes I am proud. But I am more proud that the work is always collaborations w/folks I respect such as yourself

this book means so much 2 me,,,,,i cant wait 2 try all of the recipesssssssssss

Happy 8th Year Anniversary to the Zro Hour

When I reconnected w/this cat in Aug. 29, 2007  on Myspace...I had no idea of all his going ons since we were kids.....he sent me a link  to his biz page...THE ZRO HOUR!!! After his persistence in me checking out this hip hop radio show...Once I heard it I was sold.

It's funny how you knew people of your past but really don't know them. This dude was 2 buildings down in the Marble Hill Project & I had no idea how much we had in common...especially where music love were concerned.

the first show I ever heard was his interviews w/Sandy La Loba & El Mexicano....I was like "WOOORDDD!!!, it's like that." I was very impressed & immediately started sharing the link to the show.

The next show I listened to was their interview with a very talented sistah Nuccome, someone who Alexie discovered on the D train in NYC playing her guitar...I later found out  that this was Alexie's 1st directed show for Zro. Nuccome was also the first interview of the show.

LISTEN TO THE SHOW

Another great show that is probably by far the fave of all races, cultures...NYers..the still heavily listened to The Boricua Pride Show. One does not have to be Boricua to appreciate this Alexie F production. Eric chose the music..This collaboration of brilliance to date is a show that many of even my friends still talk about.

Another person (or icon) Alexie introduced to Zro was a larger than life cat called MONSTER ...a masked, 7'+ dude who spits fire like No other. 

Alexie would always tell me of the next taping of a show & I would be so excited.  He had produced & co-produced several other shows including the Rock N Roll Show

Though in 2010 these two went on to do their own projects, no one can deny, as a duo Edaye & Alexie F put out some great work....They were the first to podcast on the internet when many didn't even understand the word PODCASTING. 

There are talks of this dynamic duo potentially working on a project together.

I know that many of their fans would love to see that collaboration. 

Alexie now has his own show.  Great entertainment from a very passionate dude.

Well with all that being said I want to wish Alexie & Eric a happy 8th anniversary for the creation of a great contribution to Hip Hop & music as a whole.

LOVE & REAL-ATIONSHIPS-keepin it real
