Guam Firefighter's Breakfast


On CHRISTmas day firefighters all over the world work. Emergencies never stop and we have to be ready to response at any time of the day or night. We also have to be fueled up for those exhausting responses. So on CHRISTmas day the crew at the Umatac Fire Station put together a little feast that we almost did not get a chance to enjoy....But 7 fires and numerous medical responses later, we were able to Chow Down!!!! The cooking was the hardest part. Everything had to be done in between all those emergency responses. Not an easy task!! But one thing is for sure, Firefighters always complete their tasks!!!!!

The boys grilled marinated Carne Asada, Pork Spare Ribs marinated overnight in Korean Bulgogi  marinade, a dish that we call Chicken Tinaktak, which is a BBQ'd chicken soaked in a coconut vinegar (tuba) with plenty of hot pepper, onions and a few other ingredients, potato salad and chicken ala king donated by the fire crew at the Agat Fire Station.

But this post is about breakfast..right? Well, there was plenty left over and guess what? Our next shift, we warmed everything up and had it all for breakfast. Talk about powering up for the day. And you know how leftovers are....always better the next day. This day was no exception.

Here is what my breakfast plate looked like...


Whew, let me tell you, this is the best way to start your day. And lucky for us, because our day, again, was filled with quite a few more emergency responses.

Until next time....
