R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON

Today is a very sad day, first was the announcement that "Charlie's Angels" Farrah Fawcett, died from a long battle with cancer. Then later in the afternoon, more shocking news came in that the King of pop, Michael Jackson, had a cardiac arrest and later died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. His cause of death is still unknown.
An autopsy will be performed tomorrow. Michael Jackson, was pronounced dead on Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 2:26 p. m. at age 50.

DREAMS COME THROUGH






The 900 residents of 245 households of Crooked Tree Village will soon have access to a new running water system thanks to a BZ$1.45 million project launched on October 8, 2008.
Officials from The Social Investment Fund under the Ministry of Economic Development with the participation of workers from within the community have begun trenching for the pipe installation. This is an historic and much needed project for one of the oldest and continuously inhabited villages in Belize.
Crooked Tree Village has experienced many hardships and water shortages throughout the dry seasons. They have had to rely on constant cleaning and clearing of wells and sometimes even nearby creeks for water supply. In a couple of months they will no longer need to depend on that little white plastic bucket and a dipper to take a bath. Every effort is being made to finish the project in time for Christmas.

THIS IS WHY I DON’T LIKE TO COOK


Thanks to all of you that responded and gave me tips on making the perfect Johnny Cake. I spent Sunday morning trying to make better Johnny cakes. My fifth attempt in the past month went well, it was fun, and everything seems just great, the taste was ok, but the texture wasn’t very pretty. What the heck? But I’m sure you experienced ladies (and gents) can tell from the pictures above. Maybe I should just stick to “Fry Jack & Tortilla” which is much easier and tastier for me.
The real problem is whenever I cook anything; I put in tons of time and effort and gained very little. Even if some of my cooking tastes good, the next time I cook the same thing, the taste is very different. The truth is, I’m just not a good cook like my sister Becky. She is an amazing cook who knows that cooking is an art even though the food disappears. I love to eat food made by people like her. At my age, you would have thought that I would have developed my style by now!
