Mahi Burgers

We are getting used to this tropical lifestyle and taking advantage of what it has to offer.

Sometimes we like to stop at the local fish shops to see what the professionals bring in.

For $20 this delectable dolphin was ours (and no, it's not a real dolphin):




Fish enough for the whole week! What a luxury it is to have a fish burger, with extra fish.

Pity I ate a few fish burgers before going to my neighbor's poolside fiesta, which was full of fiesta delights such as red rice, barbecued chicken and ribs, chicken kelaguen, velvet cake, coconut pie and Dottie's famous choc-chip brownies. Of course I didn't let a mere busting gut prevent me from feasting. As I was told by one of the young fiesta-goers, "This is a fiesta! We come here to eat!"


Um yeah must think about that wedding dress I need to fit in a few weeks...

We love-a fishy...

Kentaro's latest theme song is this, by Rather Good, which he hums whilst slicing and dicing his latest catch.

He has also proven himself to be quite the Gatherer, locating bounties of breadfruit, calamansi, papaya.

Our Catch & Snatch of the Day looked like this:

It was very tasty, and free.

Glad I don't need to worry about doing THIS on my wedding day...

I'll be doing my own make-up, but not this.

ME LOVE COOKIE!!!

It must be sorrowfully admitted at this point that our beloved cockatiels and the namesakes of this blog are not with us in Guam.

Had we known we would be moving to Guam I would have left them in Florida for a few months, as it is possible to import pet birds from the US to Guam, but not from Japan to Guam. And had we moved to Australia, customs there wouldn't have taken them either. So all that paperwork and hassle not to mention dollars to get them to Japan, for diddly.

But we have learned many things the hard way, sigh, and our little feathered babes are enjoying themselves at the German-themed village in the mountains of Akaiwa, Okayama Prefecture. Say hi to them if you're ever in the neighbourhood! They are surrounded by hamsters and guinea pigs in the air-conditioned comfort of the barnyard staff room. *sniff*

On a happier note, we decided to invest in a pet that is international-move friendly. Welcome Cookie to our clan!! It's a shame, she would have looooved Salt & Sesame I'm sure.
