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!!! ?

My question is: ( I love spicy things but I have sensitive stomach lining issues, So… ) If I omit the pepper flake and the habanero, is there a mild alternative I can add to keep the base flavor similar? Like roasted green or banana peppers? I Love Sweet Chili dipping Sauce!
Yomi says
What brand of sugar free orange marmalade did you use? I can’t seem to find one.
Mellissa Sevigny says
I think it was Polaner plus fiber? It’s been a long time so I don’t remember. Smuckers has one too I think.
Anne C says

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?
Susan says
What exactly is fish sauce? Anxious to try this! :)
Mellissa Sevigny says
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!
Barbara says
Do you need to add the fish sauce… Kinda $$ here
Mellissa Sevigny says
You could substitute soy sauce but the flavor will be a bit different Barbara!
Shirley B. says
I thought of you when I heard where the storm was heading. Best wishes from the Gulf coast of Texas!
You guys hang tough!
