Guam Day 27: Adam's Peanut Butter Smoothie


3/11/2022 - A product look today, Joan picked up this Adam's Peanut Butter prior to my arrival thinking it would be fun to try. We were all excited to open it after finishing off what I call only slightly adequate JIF peanut butter. I am a Skippy Fan through and through. Now having high expectations with a product with my name on it, I figured its got to be good right? Sadly, no, we were unimpressed. this PB spread has very low salt added making it better for cooking as a flavor than eating in a sandwich or well on its own. So that now makes my top to bottom list of PB spread, Skippy, Jif, and lastly Adams No Stir. You can't win them all I guess, or maybe you can. Turns out adding this to a vanilla protein shake is heavenly. Perfectly peanuty, sweet, and it takes away the grit of the protein addition. As I have stated before, we don't cook a lot of meat in the tiny house, so finding new protein sources has been key. With working out these shakes have been a nice add to help with getting back into shape. I don't think we will get Adams again, but maybe I will settle for the Jif just to make Joan happy. :)  

PS - this Adams PB is not a native Guam item, its made in Orville, Ohio by the J.M. Smuckers Company. It must be easy to ship, or the military personal must love it, we see this offered at a number of stores.

    Almond butter or cashew butter are also good sources of protein in the nut- butter arena! My favorite is cashew butter by far! A little pricey, but delicious! ❤️

Cars of Guam (COGs) - Ep 2 - New Vehicles

Image
  3/29/2022 - I know what you are thinking, if this ep is titled new vehicles, why of all the photos to choose from did you take a photo of a Prius? This one in fact as I stated from a previous post is our host families new car, and to drive for ride hail you need a fairly new car based on expectations of the stroll service.  The thing that has stood out to me here on Guam is most of the vehicles on the island are in US terms an import. Technically all things are imported on the island, as no vehicles are made here, but lets use the term "import" to mean external to the United States manufactures. This is a trend I see in both used and new vehicles, a large majority are from Japan. This has led me one to ask the question why is this the case, but also is there a way to get some data to back up what I am seeing? (what does a good engineer do to back up a claim, build a database) The next few images below are data tables, maybe less fun to read, but bear with me as I believe th...

GD 55 / Cars of Guam (COGS) ep 3 - Godzilla

Image
4/8/2022 - This car is so cool is gets both a COGs ep and a Guam Day (GD). If you haven't heard of the Skyline GTR before, let me tell you, you have missed out on a an amazing part of automotive history. This is an R32, built somewhere between 1989 and 1993. These vehicles were never designed to meet American road requirements, so these fall into that import law of the vehicle must be 25 years or older to register in the USA. One more sign of a cool Guam import culture from Japan, that's my learning of who live here on this vehicle.  The R32 Skyline GTR was made famous for its racing prowess right at the turn of the decade in touring car races.  It excelled so well, it received the moniker "Godzilla" as it beat any other manufacturer in its class during this time. The heart of this race car starts with its 2.5L inline 6, twin turbocharged engine, that produced a spec rating of 276 hp. Where this gets interesting is the Japanese automakers had an agreement that they wo...

Guam Day 48 - Return to Asan Beach

Image
  4/1/2022 - Can you believe its April? Where is the time going, Joan and I are just having too much fun on Guam I guess, the time is really going quick. I started out the morning getting a run in at Asan beach, still one of my favorite running spots on the Island. This time I read the history signage a little closer, Im not sure I have ever run anywhere where the signage literally says to keep an eye out for unexploded ordinance. No, this isn't an April fools joke. Luckily the main areas of the beach are well traveled and the national park service has done a great job over the last 70 years cleaning up and taking care of the preserve. If I see any white phosphorous I will be sure to leave it in the water. Eye opener though, even in a place where war has not been present for close to a century, this place continues to see the after effects of those events. We have more diving to come, but many of the sites will exhibit just this evidence as well, lots of discarding objects from WWI...
