"How about crisscrossing your massive phallic symbol with mine sometime over a Corona Light?"

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

Oh Belize! I'm feeling faint.

Hey all, here preparing for Ike, went and got some groceries, new batteries, bottled water etc just in case. Have the cars all down in the shop got the lawn furniture tied down. It has been really humid and eerily still and the sky is very funny colored all day, just in the past half hour we have started getting some winds picking up. We are supposed to get at least 10 inches of rain on already saturated ground our two ponds are already at their tops and the bridge down the road doesn't have far to go before it is impassable.

My grandmother is fine, obviously she knows nothing about her home until they are allowed back in. The home she stayed in last night had part of the roof ripped off, some minor flooding and two of the outbuildings are realllllly out buildings, as in they are completely gone, but everyone is ok thank God, I am afraid we will hear in the coming days that many are not.

technically, it SHOULD say "a Belikin"

Corona isn't sold in Belize (that'd be next-door in Mexico)...

Bowen & Bowen Brewery have an almost total monopoly on beer here.

sometimes we see canned (ugh!) Heiniken, and sometimes bottles of Red Stripe from Jamaica...

for variety, Bowen has a lager (Lighthouse) and a special license to make Guinness

Good to hear grandma is ok Renee. You guys stay dry and let us know how things go. Ike is headed our way too and we haven't stopped raining yet from a previous storm.

Renee, stay safe. Glad to hear your grandma is ok. :hug:

Thought I would share what we're having for dinner tonight. We're having pinto beans, cornbread, fried chicken and potatoes. YUMMY!

Kay - Does your DH know this is the reason YOU wanted to move to Belize? "How about crisscrossing your massive phallic symbol with mine sometime over a Corona Light?" LOL

Leave it to Sandy to notice the man boobs. lol

Renee - Glad you checked in. I am glad your Grandma is OK. I will continue to pray for everyone in that area.:hug:

seriously, that sounds ALMOST like a regular Belizean dinner!

except the cornbread is wrapped in cornhusks (and called bollos)

and the chicken is ofttimes stewed.

and the potatoes might be cocoyams, a tuber that looks and tastes a lot like potatoes.

or there'll be potato salad or cole slaw instead.

just plain ol' country cooking around here, so we LOVE to surprise our neighbors with a taste of what WE eat.

yesterday some visitors sampled mi esposo's Baba Ghanoush, with homemade pita pockets.

:D:eek::D

they're all... "You did WHAT to that eggplant?"

:cool::p:cool:

so glad to hear that, been wearing my knees out, dear!

Ike is a nasty nasty fellow, and I hope he peters out soon.
