Cooking and Such

Overview of one of the cities. This photo was taken approximately 100 meters from the back of the AFN station.

The tower that sends out my awesomeness... brought to you compliments of the American Forces Network.

Aquarius... The Drink of Champions.

This is very similar to powder gatorade. It tastes watered down and all.

The currency used on Okinawa is the Yen. This is roughly 8 U.S. dollars. The exchange rate today is 89 Yen to the U.S. dollar.

This is where we ate our deliciously prepared homemade burritos. Yes, classy I know.

This is Steinbrecher cooking in our awesome kitchen. Conveniently located in our dorm (barracks). Yes, two full stoves. I guess all we are missing is a dishwasher.

Here is our cookware that we purchased after it had been washed and cleaned. Note: My three pound dip is cooking in my crock pot.

Okay, so I have a great update. Hopefully, I won't have pictures from just base after this weekend. I got my check-in stuff completed and so now I have a red card and can go off base... which I plan to do this weekend. I am super excited so things should be getting interesting.

My mom got her toe operated on today and so a little shout out to her... Hope you get better soon mom and I am sure I will talk to you on Skype later.

As you can tell... Steinbrecher and I cooked dinner last night. It was great not eating fast food. We plan to try to do that at least once a week so we can take the leftovers to work. It worked out great today. Too bad everyone got take out Macaroni Grill today. Oh well, my burrito with seasoned meat, refried beans and spanish rice was delicious.

Well, I don't have much to report on right now. I'm about to watch a movie I think.

Hope all is well in the states.
