I love grate "graten"!

Well I sure hope you're not a guy ☺!

There's something comical about a guy sitting by the fire rocks, under a leafy kitchen pavillion scraping the bottom of a cooking pan for the last bit of the rice graten.
Guys, this will get you some chuckles.

"Graten" in Haiti, is the hard crust left at the bottom of the cooking pan after you've made rice, mayi, or even spaghetti.
With the right amount of sauce, a graten is crunchy, delicious and heavenly. And Haitian men love it! (as long as it's not burnt).

Unfortunately, It is not good etiquette in Haiti for men to be scraping the bottom of a cooking pan in search of some graten (at least, not in public).

I know this is unfair stereotyping, but that's the way it is for now.

  2. Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting
    to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually
    code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
