Yesterday (21st September) Belize celebrated its 34th year of Independence.  We celebrated with a Kue Lapiz in the Colours of Belize.

Kue Lapiz in Belize?  A bit of an oxymoron…I know…but you know that we like to mix things up a bit.  Kue Lapiz is  a steamed multi-layed dessert, made typically from glutinous rice flour and tapioca flour, traditionally made in Indonesia (South East Asia).  It is usually made of bright vibrant colours so that is why I thought of colouring it with the Belize colours: red. white and blue.

Hmmm maybe there are Indonesians (or Dutch) in Belize or Belizeans in Indonesia (or The Netherlands) who would appreciate this gesture!!  Nevertheless, Happy Independence Day to Belize!!

Note: I did not post this up yesterday on the actual Independence day because I did not want to steal the Thunder from the Paradise Piggies Mayoral Election.  I know that y’all out there were on the edge of your seats waiting for the results.  Congrats to Mayor Gnome on his re-election.  Now, life can go back to normal on the farm.
