First course - new local delights....

Much to my disappointment, NOTHING is 

locally grown in Guam. 

Nuthin'.

That's a big BOO on my part...

but, alas, that doesn't mean there are

no good eats!

The locals love a good BBQ!

Not a BBQ-sauce-on-meat type either.

I have heard that they will put anything on a grill.

Oh, yum to the umpth degree, baby!

Every Wednesday night in

Chamorro Village,

there is a tent city of BBQ's

and I intend to take full advantage of the local hospitality!

I'll take some pics and show you what I find,

but in the mean time, 

I'll share my snack with you!!

Hineksa' Aga'ga'

or

"Red" rice:

We tried this at a friends' house this weekend...

it's just rice, red onion and Annato spice

which is really the coloring and flavoring left over from soaking

Achiote seeds. You just throw everything in a rice cooker and 

cook it as you would normal rice!

I don't know yet where you get the seeds....

I DO know that I can get the spice at the commisary!

They add a "sauce" called Finadene (pronounced fin-a-dinny)

 to the rice that consists of soy sauce, white vinegar,

onion, jalapeno (chopped), lemon juice and green onion.

You just throw everything into a bowl and stir!

So YUM!!

Bon Apetite! ~K
