U of O Alumni Writes New Book on the Food of Guam

Salem-News.com

Where in the world is Guam? What in the world do they eat there? Wouldn't you love to have some Guam fiesta food? Paula Quinene, a U of O Alumni and a native Chamorrita, published a Guam cookbook, A Taste of Guam!

(HOLLY SPRINGS N.C.) - A Taste of Guam is brimming with Guam's infamous fiesta food. Here is what people are saying about the foods cooked on this tiny island in the Pacific:

"The food was an amazing combo of the island culture: Guamanian / Chamorro, Spanish, and Filipino food. There was bisteak - some sort of marinated, thinly sliced steak; kelaguen-of all sorts of meats, chicken, beef & spam being my favorites (kelaguen was cool because we got to help shred the coconut); red rice-always; lumpia-tiny little spring roll-esque fried bits of heaven."

"The one thing that stood out the most for me was the "FIESTAS." The word itself is like a magnet. It attracts people from all over the island to enjoy authentic Chamorro dishes. These were the biggest celebrations all over the island for birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions. There was enough food to last for days including a pig. My favorite food besides daigo is coconut candy."

"We were always given TONS of leftovers to take home with us when we left a fiesta. I really do miss the food of Guam, and have tried to replicate it myself."

A Taste of Guam is Paula's way of sharing the Chamorro culture through food. This book includes the author's collection of recipes: Chamorro BBQ, Other Island Favorites, Guam Desserts, Mix of America and A Treasure Chest of Sweets. Additionally, you will find a list of local favorite food places, a list of village fiestas, and a short time-line on Guam's history.

Read what folks are saying about A Taste of Guam

"I am thrilled to find so many great Chamorro recipes. My oldest son is in the U.S. Air Force. He and his family were stationed for two years at Andersen AFB in Guam. My husband and I were fortunate to visit them for two weeks in June 2005. I can't wait to try some of your recipes. I appreciate the precise measurements very much! In May each year, we have a Guam Time celebration for the parents. We make scrapbooks of everything we have learned and do a Power Point presentation telling the parents all about Guam and showing them photos. Now you can understand how excited I was to find an actual cookbook."

"I've lived in NY for 23 years and my older girls are always asking me for recipes for Chamorro food. The problem is I never really measure anything, therefore, nothing is written down. I was happy to find your book online. I bought them for both girls and gave it to them at Christmas. They absolutely loved it!"

"Thank you for writing this book! I got it for my dad who was born on Guam. My grandmother has not written any of them down for us. She lives in San Diego and we live in Tucson, so I don't get to spend the time with her in the kitchen that I'd like to!"

Kyokushin gym now open in capitol

KUAM.com :: Guam's News Network

By Dave Delgado
Published Jan 28, 2009

Anyone interested in learning the art form kyokushin along with other martial arts will get a chance to do so at the new Hagatna Mixed Martial Arts Center. The gym is located on the 2nd floor of the House of Fabrics Building next to MTB Outfitters on the corner of Padre Palomo St. and Soledad Avenue.

The grand opening takes place this Saturday at 12:00 noon with demonstrations and belt testing taking place. Kyokushin was founded on Guam in 1964 by shihan Joe Tedtaotao and not only teaches fighting techniques but also respect, humility and non-violence.

Tony Rodriguez says, "Everything about Kyokushin is about discipline, courtesy and respect towards others. We really focus on helping people become better citizens and better people not here just to fight. It's full-contact karate, but it's not the focal point, so in a sense kyokushin is a martial art that doesn't focus on just the psychical aspect but also the spiritual aspect, as well."

Guam's First Lady of Fitness Wants You to Look Good Without Clothes

51-year-old Mona Roberts proves "50 is the new 30" in groundbreaking new calendar

HAGATNA, Guam, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Mona Roberts has published the island's first au natural calendar to promote her "Look Good Naked" theme for women of ALL ages. The 51-year-old native Chamorrita is beautifully captured au natural and semi-nude in high-quality images photographed exclusively in Guam's idyllic tropical settings and in her beautiful cottage home. "I wanted to show that women of all ages can take control of their bodies and lives - that their only limitations are the ones they put on themselves. I've been exercising and weight-training for 25 years. I never use drugs, never smoke and rarely drink alcohol. I keep my face out of the sun and only drink water.

"You can still look great if you start now. What will your body be like in two years if you don't? 50 is the new 30."

The Vassar College graduate and owner of her own fitness and wellness company, Roberts is the picture of youth and health. "I'm very proud of this calendar," said Roberts. "I'm hoping the world will get to know a lot more about me and want to know more about the island of Guam."

The calendar and information on Mona's camp is available online at monaroberts.com or by emailing calendargirlguam@yahoo.com.

The Insular Empire: America in the Marianas (trailer)

The Insular Empire: America in the Marianas is a documentary film about America at its westernmost limits - the Mariana Islands of the western Pacific Ocean. 6000 miles from the U.S. mainland, the Marianas - which include the U.S. Territory of Guam and the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (or CNMI) - have played a crucial role in American history, and national security, over the past century. Yet most Americans know nothing about them, or about the indigenous communities who call them home.

The Insular Empire will change this. The Insular Empire will let a broad American and Pacific audience know that U.S. citizenship for the Chamorro and Carolinian communities of the Marianas is not complete citizenship. That U.S. citizens on Guam may have their citizenship revoked by an Act of Congress. That both "insular areas" lack voting representation in the U.S. Congress, and that the CNMI lacks any representation at all. That despite this, the federal government maintains a remarkable degree of control over the islands' laws and economic resources.

By many standards, the Marianas are colonies. The Chamorro people of Guam, after 100 years under the American flag, have still not achieved self-determination. Today, although they are not allowed to vote for their Commander-in-Chief, young people from the Mariana Islands are fighting, and dying, for the United States military – in numbers far exceeding those of any state in the union.

These are indigenous rights issues. They are civil rights issues. They are human rights issues. But they must be made visible before they can be addressed.

Since 2002, Horse Opera Productions has been working with the indigenous communities of Guam and the CNMI to produce The Insular Empire: America's Pacific Frontier. The film is now in post-production. We will partner with Pacific Islanders in Communications, our major production funder, to obtain a wide public television broadcast. But our vision extends beyond broadcast to include the following outreach goals:

* To inspire the indigenous communities of Guam and the CNMI to think critically about both their history and their relationship with the United States, and to think creatively about their political and cultural future; and

* To influence political decision-makers - particularly US congresspersons - to authentically democratize relations with Guam and the CNMI, so that islanders and mainlanders can become true partners in working towards a just and sustainable future.

Please take the time to browse our site to learn more about The Insular Empire: America’s Pacific Frontier .The Insular Empire is a non-profit project supported by tax-deductible contributions. Give now to support this important work - and help build a more authentic American democracy.

Si Yu'us Maase and Olomwaaay (thank you) for your curiosity and support!

Peace and Justice for Guam and the Pacific BLOG

While there is much discussion in Guam about the economic benefits of increasing the island’s military presence, the damages/dangers that they represent are rarely mentioned. This blog, a supplement to the Peace and Justice for Guam Petition, is meant to counter that by providing information about the US military in Guam, with the hopes of steering policy away from a dangerous unilateralist course to more sustainable notions of regional development and a strengthening international solidarity.
