Yes, Thank you Anita. My son had to get a new phone and that sounds like the thing. he purchased. An owl? Agree - it will be easier to get the picture with the Sasebo Burger Man. Now looking forward to two pictures of you - As an Owl and by Sasebo Burger Man. I can image that a conversation with your wife would really be enlighting about you. Sure hope for that opportunity. Again Thanks Anita. Have a good day everyone TLynn

Hi Everyone !!!!
AS you can see I am excited! I just got off the phone with my sailor! Finally - his computer is back with him - working right. I had an hour conversation with him, but best of all he spoke with his Gram. That made everything right for her.
I asked him about that Sasebo Burger. He said they are fantastic! But the burgers are so big that eating one - he can't finish. But right now - everyone on the base is flocking to Chilies. To answer the questions about the Monarch Butterflies: No I and my family do not raise them professionally. My father was an Earth Science teacher. And he collected those butterflies and moths. When I was in elementary school - I had to carry the killing jar. A jar with a poison on the cotton ball and then dad would place what ever he caught into the jar. Luckily my mom got after dad for making me carry that jar. I would come back crying. Later, he started collecting the cocoons and crysalis and learned how to care for them and we all enjoyed watching them hatch out - then the fun of opening the front door and letting them fly out. With my boys, I have continued that. We have Milkweed growing in the backyard - the main food of Monarch caterpillars. The milky substance of that plant is what makes the Monarch poisonious for birds to eat. And the only reason we have 23 caterpillars right now - our backyard had to be totally regraded - so no more flooding would occur. The workers were afraid that the plants might be danaged by the bocat tractor - so the night befroe all the work started - we went looking for eggs. Found 31. 2 did not survive the hatching. I am logging all their growth - color changes - eating habits and when they form that crysalis. When they hatch from the crysalis - they will dry their wings and then later fly around the kitchen - then I know they are ready to leave. They will come and sit on our hands and we take them out and say goodbye. In the past years we did have over 300 Polyphemus Moth caterpillars. 250 completed the cycle and were released. NEVER doing that again! Lucky you Claudia - humming birds. What a beautiful gentle sound they make. Have to share a funny about my sailor: they are getting ready for another inspection. But something went wrong - he got very upset and threw what ever he was holding overboard. The whatever was his cell phone. I could not stop laughing. I told him to let us know when King Neptune calls or if there is an article in one of the Japaneese papers about a fisherman cutting open a fish and finding his cell phone. Oh - he has a newer and better cell phone now. So all is right with the world. Have a great night. TLynn :)

Hi everyone,
Very empressive maskot for the Navy Dads. Mark - when you go to Japan next year -we Navy Moms of this Japan Moms and Dad site want a picture of you and Sasebo Burger Man. That is a must! I hope to hear from my sailor soon, and I will have to ask about this Sasebo Burger and that other picture that looks something like a hamburger. Best hamburgers I enjoyed and the homemade chili too was a little place called Funks. Only had spcae for 25 people to eat at a time. Everything was homemade and the owners would bring fresh veggies from their garden in the summer. Even old fashion sodas MADE: Green River - Cherry Coke- etc. They are gone now. As is the best Chineese place - Ding Hos owned by the Wongs. And about Mexician Food - that would be my mother-n-law! I could not get my husband to even go to a Mexician cafes to eat. Well, one time, but he did nothing but complain the entire time - so never again. NO I cannot cook any Mexician food - could not take my husband complains! So I let him cook those recipes - but he doesn't like to cook - so no Mexician food here. Only thing happening here - 23 Monarch caterpillars have hatched. Still have six more eggs to hatch - should be by tomorrow. By mid August they should form their crystalis. I forgot to ask - Mark - with all the discussion of hamburgers on the Navy Dads's site - any recipes being shared or cooking techniques? Need all the help I can get. Also, what is the weather like in your areas? It is like a cool fresh Autumn night here. Wishing all a pleasent night and dreams. TLynn

I adore Fudrucker's, but the local one shut down (bad location). You bet we hit one in San Diego when we were visiting!

That's a split and grilled hot dog of some kind. In Yokosuka, the club served Lumburgers, which had ham and a fried egg on the beef patty. with cheese. Frickin' heart attack.

I'm partial to the MOS burger teriyaki burner. Not beef, I think, but tasty. Their coffee shakes and fries are good too.

I think I need a trip back to Yoko.

My son lives in Yokosuka and says there is a good Mexican place right across from the main gate on the second floor.

Chipotle sounds fabulous!

I may be born and raised Navy, but I'm a Californian at heart too. Here in Utah we never had good Mexican food until the last decade or so when the Hispanic population took off. Now there's a family who has four places, Javier's. I love their chicken mole burritos. We get fresh tortillas from Rita's Bakery; their pan de dulce is to die for. I don't speak much Spanish, but I do speak food!

LOL, you know, as a food snob, I don't consider the Chiles chain as "Mexican" food. I don't even consider Taco Bell authentic... LOL.

Chipotle ... what kind of food? Sauce? Chips? I love the flavor!
