In other news, we are bracing ourselves for a direct hit from what is now being called Hurricane Earl which is on a course aimed right at us. Since we’re on an island and live right on the beach as well, it’s more than a little disconcerting. The house we’re leasing is all concrete and we have a second floor so we’ll be hunkering down up there for the next couple of days and will likely be fine.
Depending on how bad the storm is, we may not have power or internet for days – I’ll post an update (and more recipes) when I can.
Life in Belize isn’t all doom and gloom though – the reason I haven’t posted lately is because we had friend visiting for two weeks and pretty much didn’t work at all. Here’s a bunch of photos of what we’ve been up to for the last month!
Now I’ve got to go fill the tub with water in preparation for the storm! See you on the other side!!! 😳

What brand of sugar free orange marmalade did you use? I can’t seem to find one.
I think it was Polaner plus fiber? It’s been a long time so I don’t remember. Smuckers has one too I think.
Great photos!
Love the Chili Dipping Sauce recipe. Can’t wait to make some!
These pictures of Belize made me miss it! OVer the past 5 years, I have spent many months in Belize writing my thesis and developing programming for a children’s home in San Ignacio. I love Caye Caulker. Are you still in Belize?
This looks wonderful! I’ll bet it’s great on chicken or fish. What are some of your plans to use it?
What exactly is fish sauce? Anxious to try this! :)
It’s like soy sauce Susan with a slightly different flavor. It adds a savory element to the sauce and makes it taste authentically Asian. You can usually find it in the asian section of the grocery store, but if you have a whole foods or are an amazon prime member I recommend paying a couple dollars more for red boat brand, it’s the best and has no sugar!
Do you need to add the fish sauce… Kinda $$ here

You could substitute soy sauce but the flavor will be a bit different Barbara!
I thought of you when I heard where the storm was heading. Best wishes from the Gulf coast of Texas!
You guys hang tough!
Thanks for the recipe, looks great! Take care of you and yours and be safe. The pics are beautiful, glad you are in a place you can enjoy.

I am new to low carbing, so I’m in the still reading-about-it-and-not-quite-trusting-or-understanding-it stage. Your recipes look delicious; thank you for sharing! I look forward to trying this one.
Also, your photos from today look amazing/terrifyingly beautiful; please stay safe and well! Prayers from a new friend/follower from Vancouver Island.

This looks excellent ! It will be nice as a sub for sauces I used in the distant past that were laden with sugar.
On another note, I lived on the Gulf Coast of Florida for a decade about 30 years ago. It got very tiresome and disconcerting every year dealing with hurricanes, unnamed storms that would pop up often at night destroying everything beyond several blocks from the water, and violent thunderstorms with hail large enough to smash anything and everything not under cover, including human heads. I loved the water, but living near it has a lot of drawbacks. Be safe !
