Bella Goes to Dinner

I know, I know, I'm adorable.

Hey, guys. My new web site is up and running! Just type in (or bookmark) bellainbelize.com  and it will bring you right here. Much easier! Pass it on.

Here's a shout-out to my new followers. I hope you tell your friends about the blog so that I can become rich and famous and live the island life to the maximum.


If you're new to this site, please read the previous posts as well. Blogs run backwards, at least from my way of thinking, and you have to go to the end to see the beginning. Does that make sense? 

Previously, I asked you to make comments so that I know you're out there.  A faithful reader, Jane Kirk in Sikeston, Missouri, said, "Fine, but how do I do that?" Well, it turns out it is easier than we thought.  At the very top of my blog, click on "Follow." Followers will see a little pencil at the end of each post. Click on that and leave your comment. Leave it to Bella to figure it out!
 

Okay, to the business at hand: Last night's dinner was fabulous. Our friend Obby cooked the red snappers he and Tom caught the day before.  Obby prepared them in a buttery onion sauce until it was perfect. Then he prepared sliced potatoes with onions and a few tomatoes for flavor. And, finally, some white rice. Shelley ran all over the island getting the ingredients and getting the food from Obby's kitchen while Tom made a spinach salad to die for: fresh spinach leaves, fresh pineapple, a little chopped onion, olive oil, red wine, and salt to taste.


I wish Tom or Shelley had taken pictures of the food, but they forgot. Our guests, Arnie, Bart, Mandy, and Angie said they really liked the fish (Tom says he caught three of them), but the proof lay in their plates. Wiped clean! The only morsels I got were the ones Tom slipped me. And, boy, was it good! I finally got to spend a night at home! That Tom and Shelley do run around a lot. I guarded the apartment insuring a safe domain for the guests.

High today 81 degrees. Heat index 87!

Tomorrow we go to a fashion show at the San Pedro Fitness Club pool, a fundraiser to build "Mama Vilma's Family Home." Presently there is no shelter on the island for women and children who need help of any kind. Our friend Lisa Rhees from Ohio, one of the directors, invited us. Last year's fashion show, the very first one,  was attended by 400 people, and we think this one will be even more successful! I'll be there to take down the details. I have been told that Bart and Tom will be eating pizza and drinking beer during the event and will be unable to attend.



Y'all come visit. We'll have red snapper.  You're gonna love Belize!
