Please see our Website for the truth about Abu Dhabi. I hope that by being frank in your article you are not put in a ‘difficult’ position. I wrote to the Home section a month ago explaining the situation re our Web Site, when they gave a double page spread to the Gulf including Abu Dhabi. I do hope you have a chance whilst out there to also use your journalistic skills to visit the prisons and ask questions about kidnappings.I would never wish to put you in any danger but you can ask Simon Pearce Director of Strategic Communications Abu Dhabi Tel 2 616 0288..Mobile 50 8181 627 why he cannot ‘communicate’ . you can contact me in U.K on O1327 261340(Northants) 07505502364 Mobile or contact me on my E mail.Your articles are always informative and I hope you can find something very important through this message.
Regards,

Helena,

I had to laugh at Olivia’s ad. Your kids are absolutely precious and frighteningly smart. I hope you soon find accommodations without the guinea pigs. I don’t care what anyone says they smell! Still looking for a job!

If all else fails:

Fried Guinea Pig (Ayacucho-style)

1 guinea pig, de-haired, gutted, and cleaned

1/2 c. flour

1/4 – 1/2 t. ground cumin

salt and black pepper to taste

1/2 c. oil

Pat dry the skin of the guinea pig and rub in the cumin, salt, and pepper. Preheat oil. Dust the carcass with the flour and place it on its back in the oil, turning to cook both sides. Alternately, the guinea pig can be cut and fried in quarters.

Serve with boiled potato or boiled manioc root, and a salad of cut tomatoes and slivered onions bathed in lime juice and a bit of salt. Have cold beer on hand.
