Teriyaki Beef Skewers

The rain has mainly stopped although the water is still in my back yard and receding a little in the front. You may have seen my post on the flooding here in Davie, Florida. We were hit so hard we made national news. It will be sometime before this water is gone, especially since we are in the rainy season. 

I decided to grill out today (I wanted to be outdoors a little) and when I saw this recipe for Teriyaki Beef Skewers, I knew that I had to make them.

I made a few changes to the original recipe, like adding some grated fresh ginger and mango/pineapple juice instead of just pineapple juice.

I marinated the beef for only 6 hours instead of the 24 it called for and they were still great. This would be great to do the night before so all you would have to do is grill them when you come home.

The recipe stated that the pineapple juice was optional, but I think it gave it added flavor, even though I used a mango/pineapple version.

I love recipes that I can easily make changes to. Next time I am going to try chicken instead of beef.

Chicken with Maple Bacon Glaze

I love making low carb recipes and this one was so yummy and easy. I try to stay away from sugar and instead choose natural sugar like maple syrup or honey in my dishes. Add bacon and how can you go wrong. Right?

Flooding In Southern Florida and My House

As you may know, the rain has been pounding here in Florida. I live near Ft. Lauderdale and we have had more than than with hurricane Wilma. We are not far above sea level so it doesn't take much to put water in our back yard. 

We have had plenty of the years, but never like this and the rain continues to come down. To put it in perspective, here is a picture of my barn that you have often seen.

The barn sits up rather high in the yard. However, this rain has filled my yard and is threatening to enter the barn. I hope not since I have so many things in there and don't know where to put them.

Here is the scene now.

Also, I just posted about Flowers in My Pineapple Patch. Here is the corner. Notice that the box is 2 boards high.

Now look at my pineapple patch. The water is over all the boards. You can only see some of the tops of the pineapples.

That is my lemon tree with its branches in the water. All of the other trees are drowning too.

It is supposed to rain for the next 3-4 days. The house seems to be OK, but it is up to the second step into the house. Add to all of this; my husband is in Italy on business. He left last Friday before the rain started. 

Keep all of us in your prayers. Thank you.
