The winner is?

Why am I laughing so much you may ask? Possibly because as we all know I am not the best cook in the world and I find it very funny that I am making a dish of chili as my entry into the cook off tonight. We need 10 entries and at this point I am not sure how many we have so mine may be needed to make up numbers.

These fabulous four are very good friends of mine from the past and kept popping into Lime to see me and book some great tours. They fished yesterday and caught not only a lot of fish but the sun too.
This lovely couple brought in a fantastic dish for the contest and are super big dog lovers also like the rest of us.
Sharon B and Sharon C as we are getting known as, after a long Friday we are still smiling and ready to party!
The lovely Natasha who is a new addition to our team.

This young man was the first to buy a ticket and taste the chili's and of course got a thumbs up from us for wearing our colour! Not only was he cute but funny too, mum don't get excited he just saw his girlfriend off to the states a day ahead of him.

Check out the tablecloth still looking white!

Jo who was the whole reason for this event was outside recruiting people to come in and support the Saga Humane Society straight off the road with the loud speaker bless him.

Sharon C in a dress no less.

Cassidy was serving up the slime punch like a storm

A good crowd turned out to be our judges


Some familiar faces amongst the group

Jock who was gutted that he didn't know about this until it was too late as he boasts to make the best chili ever!


I still think Jo's was one of the best in there as it was a sneaky little number a bit like him really.

Prize time for the winners

Sharon C was the hands down overall winner with many of the votes

Goodness knows how but I came in second

These lovely ladies came in third so the women as always were all round winners!

Then there was the free raffle

Zac won these decadent Cadbury's chocolates

My friend Rachel Hoke from Michigan made a rum cake which I would say can compete with many bought ones.
Here she is happy to know that she is not only a great cook but can bake cakes along with the best of them. Cheers my friend see you again next year.

Lime's chili cook of, who's hot who's not?

	Lime Chili cook of 6pm to 8pm Saga humane society fundraiser Come and see what's hot or not?

Sunset Cruise again? Happy Birthday!

Here we go again, another cruise, another birthday however each one is totally different as we always have a different mix of people every time.
So here we are with the lovely Mark and Michelle from Canada who have been living here for four months now and this is their one.
It was a surprise pre birthday for Mark's 40th so happy birthday to you big boy, what you going to be when you grow up? Please let me know asap as it may give me some ideas!

Jen, Drew and Tommy from Michigan, happy to be here in their favourite place, San Pedro.

All the girls, as the shirts say in Belize no shoes no problem.

Family Hoke
Captain Wade came along for the ride and a few beers of course!

Wouldn't be a party without Marilyn Marx.

We all brought a nibble or two as you can see, what a spread it was. Marie's sausage rolls for an absolute hit and gone in seconds especially as Phil had been eating them along the way so not as many made it to the table as she had baked!

Look what I can see in the water, so cool laying here and watching the water world go by.

Man talk I guess, there's Craig hiding behind his glasses.

Yes there may be a little sneaky vodka in that cup, she's a cheeky monkey for sure that one!

Ship ahoy?
A very mellow couple of hours spent with some cool people, another sunset cruise over and out!

Shout out to Tracey Leask

It is official we have the best ceviche and chips on the island says Donald and Glynis Khus. They should know as they have tried it all over San Pedro for many years now and always favoured somewhere else until I challenged them to try ours. We have been complimented on our chips many times as we make them here and they are very fresh and crunchy.

After their nibble on ceviche it was onto the Italian spaghetti meatballs which again were a huge hit, so now after seeing this and you all feeling hungry head over to Lime for a bite to eat.

Wow Friday night whizzed around again and hit us full on, here we go for another mad one!

Looks who's back in the fold the Hoke family are here again for the week and loving our new look

Time to do some work which is great as felt much better the next day for pouring them rather than drinking them, damn that peach vodka and Yeager of course.

One of the many Peter's is back with us pictured here with the lovely Canadian Mark and Michelle minus Jasper!

This young cutie was a typical Hooray Henry straight from London and loving himself in that pink shirt!
This lovely lady on the left is Kamela Shadduck who runs singledivers and brought her fun gang in for their last night in San Pedro.

Well it is Freaky Friday so plenty of silly shots and jello going around as can be demonstrated by this fun group.
For a wee bar we can fit quite a few in at times.

My fault I did tell them to try and be sexy while doing shots


This lovely young man was giving a thank you speech to Kamala and has promised us a prompt return to Belize.
It went on for quite some time, I thought I was the only one that chatted a lot!

Their turn for jello

What a cute group they were

Kamala is still laughing about her trip onto the dock and those lovely black eyes!

All divers, finding plenty to talk about of course especially with Peter in the conversation.

The sexy Natasha
Plus the sultry Cassidy!

This lovely lady will kill me with this shot but what the heck eh! The hamster look is in no?

The party gang are now here and complete as Caroline is in the fold!

My good buddy from Michigan state and I, looking like sisters until I go blonde again.

So it's 8pm and time to do the draw for the Saga Humane Society's 50/50 which we do every Friday night in Lime. The guest of honour this week is Craig as we are thrilled that he still came out even though his lovely wife Tracey had to rush home to South Africa to be with family. Shout out to Tracey at this point and know that we all love and miss you and wish your dad the best of health!
Shaking them up big time so he doesn't pull out one he may know as we all have different numbers and colours.
Bless him not one to cheat at all I bet, such a man.

Who's did he pull I wonder?

Would you believe it he pulled out Tracey's, his partner who has never won it so far

Cheers Tracey the drinks are on you!

Um lovely Yeager not! Why we do it I will never know but luckily JD is away this week so we didn't do too many on this Friday evening thank goodness as the head agreeded the next day.

Michigan to San Pedro-Happy Mothers Day

The Hokes are here from East Langsing Michigan to San Pedro, Belize. Many photos to follow but for now trying to catch up from whizzing around with them, Lime and helping with the mothers day celebrations on the island.
Talking of which HAPPY MOTHERS day to all the mums out there and again to the ones from my side of the world as we have already celebrated ours in England in March. Have a great Sunday from all of us in sunny Belize.
