Zucchini Cakes

The light at the end of the tunnel is in sight! In just a week, Travis and I are going on vacation to Sydney, Australia for 9 days! We are so excited and this vacation is very much needed- not to mention it will be a wonderful break from the heat and humidity here in Okinawa since it's the end of their winter there. 

In preparation our absence, we are trying to use up the produce in our fridge so it does not spoil. I've had several zucchini hanging out waiting to be used- it's very probable I saw some awesome zucchini recipes prior to going to the grocery store and plumb forgot what they were after buying the veggies!

"Hmm... what to have for lunch. No, don't want that, or that. Made that last week. That would be too heavy for lunch. What's in the fridge? Ugh, no not that. I do have those.... and those.... and that! And I need to use this before it goes bad... what about.... yes! Yes, that'd be perfect for today!"

Chicken Rollatini

It rained today in Okinawa. Not that rain here is any kind of novelty, but I mean- IT RAINED. Cats and dogs rained. The kind of pelting rain that stings your skin when it hits you- and man oh man it was windy! If I hadn't already checked the weather report I would have worried a typhoon was rolling in. Needless to say, I started my to-do list quite a bit later in the day than I had originally intended, but that's ok. I watched an episode on Hulu and enjoyed some "morning tea" my husband brought back for me from Sasebo. He brought me morning tea and peach flavored tea. Both seem scrumptious, but I had to try the morning tea as it is loose leaf, and I have limited experience with those types- and well, I wanted to experiment. I must say, it was quite tasty! I am looking forward to trying out the peach tea.
