TweetHappy Garifuna Settlement Day!  What is that, you ask?  Well, if you’re in Belize around this time of year you’ll be hearing all about it.  Especially if you’re in an area with lots of Garifuna people, one of the major ethnic groups in Belize.  Garifunas are also known as Black Caribs, and they are a [...]

TweetDon’t you just hate it when you see a great idea on the Internet? An idea you didn’t have, but should have. Things like Twitter, eBay, Myspace, surf exchange, pixel ads. Things that are quite simple, but ingenious! Well, here comes another one (I hope). I’ve always wanted to get in on one of those [...]

TweetMy husband and I love beef Stroganoff. It’s one of the first recipes I ever learned. What I love about Stroganoff, you can make it cheap or fancy, from Ramen noodles, canned corned beef and Campbell’s soup to top sirloin, wild mushrooms, and fresh, homemade noodles. Either way, it tastes absolutely delicious and luxurious. And [...]

TweetI haven’t written anything in the last few days (bad me, I know), because our ship finally came in and I got to go shopping. Woo hoo! Not clothes shopping, or shoe shopping.

NOTE: only pick wild mushrooms if you know what you’re doing. Some poisonous mushrooms look like edible ones, but can [...]

It’s not really writer’s block. You’re able to write coherent sentences. It’s just that you can’t find anything interesting to say. Here are [...]

TweetI’m not a vegetarian, but I have lived on a mostly vegetarian diet a few times in the past for various reasons. When you’re used to eating meat, and a lot of it, it’s hard to go “cold turkey” (pardon the pun). Before I left the US, we would often eat huge pork chops and [...]

TweetI grew up buying clothes, toys, books, and household items at second hand stores and garage sales.  There were times when I complained about that, since I thought my clothes were “not cool” and I wanted to be like the other kids (wearing skin tight Wranglers and Roper boots instead of “bell bottoms” in the [...]

Tweet Several years ago, I sold insurance for the duck, going to business leaders and asking them to sign up. That’s right, Aflac (insert funny comment here about how you know the silly commercials, make the duck sound, etc.) It was a tough job. So tough I quit after a few months. But I did [...]
