So I've been told to get back into this here blog as I've slacked off on it for quite a while. What I guess I should say is that I have big news. Sarah moved out here in November to continue practicing acupuncture on Guam and keep me company. This has been very welcomed event. So for those who don't know, meet Sarah.
Here is Sarah chowing on a rib at Proa. I might have mentioned Proa before. It might be the best island food I've had. For $13.95, you get ribs, chicken, red rice, and an amazing drink called a calamansi Cooler. calamansi is the Guam version of lemons or limes. Basically it's a really tart tiny lime. But juiced together with sugar, sprite or tonic water and a dab of gin, you get some awesomeness. At home, the calamansi cooler has become the official drink of this here house. However the can of Japaneseness I'm holding in my hand seems to be a canned Pina Colada and YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW AWESOME IT IS. Also, I clearly look drunk.
As I've mentioned in earlier post, Guam has been a great place to consume Asian junk food. I pink box was some sort of Korean Valentines day cookie. Basically it was a bland cookie kind of like Yam Yam with some sort of chocolate/nutella like substance smooshed in between.
Guam hasn't been all gastronomic all the time. We do get outside and enjoy nature....sometimes. These are from Tiragi(I swear I'm spelling this wrong) beach just off Anderson Air Force Base. It's basically like Jurassic Park when you drive down this little road snug onto a cliffside. You half expect to see terradactyl swoop on by.
Above are a couple images of the Dedado flea market. We were told to be there by 6am so we can get the good stuff. But mostly everything seemed to be old clothes or veggies or roots that we had no idea how to cook. So we settled on some local eggplant. Then there is this one guy who sells Avon supplies out of his truck. Weird.
So we were jonesing for some straight up American fare a few weeks ago. We went bowling. And we won prizes!
A couple days ago I decided to go fishing. We caught nothing, stared at the coast and cursed the day. However I think it's confirmed that I have the fishing bug. It was beautiful along the water in the wee hours of the morning. I just wish I brought home dinner.
