This Christmas, Grace Aaron wants Guyana to have her cake and eat it
Groce Aaron in a baking mood
December 18, 2020
Grace Aaron resides at 232 Section ‘A’, Block X, Diamond, from where she operates Grace’s Business Enterprise. Food is her business. She offers food, cakes, seasonings and beverages. Grace is ‘up for Christmas’ with the customary seasonal offerings… pepper pot, fried rice, Black Cake… ‘the works,’ as we say in Guyana. Her constants – pastries, drinks, achar, guava cheese, fruits for cake, and green seasoning, among others, are also available.
Grace used to be a full-time employee at The Demerara Harbour Bridge. That was when she began her part-time culinary excursion. It became a permanent pursuit after she retired in 2018.
Dear Editor,
When initially it was given several ‘nick-names’, one was ‘Longest Floating Socialist Bridge’ (referring to Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham during whose regime the Demerara Harbour Bridge was erected). It actually turned out to have floated many years ‘longer’ than the period this major engineering initiative was predicted to last – something like thirty (30) years. Who is counting since? It’s many more now.
Indeed there was little, if any, preconception that it would endure the rate and much moreso the weight, of the flow of traffic currently experienced. More recent generations of regular motor vehicle drivers, not to mention their heavy-duty colleagues, would hardly slow down long enough to reflect on the engineering maintenance feat being performed day and night over the years by too little appreciated groups of dedicated managers and technicians. Nor does one immediately recall any public recognition of the miracle of sustaining this floating bridge
