FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COCONUT SHELLS AND GRASS SKIRTS
Holly Springs, NC – August 20, 2009 – Guam, coconut shells and grass skirts? Not quite this decade, though the foods and the memories from this Pacific isle have withstood the test of time!
What do you remember about Guam? Were you a mainland kid enjoying the jungles, the blue oceans, and fiesta food? Were you a member of the armed forces barely legal during the Vietnam War, yet grateful to find respite on “the Rock?” Are you originally from Guam, but have relocated stateside?
Paula Ann Lujan Quinene, born and raised on Guam, though currently residing in Holly Springs, NC, has published her second book, Remember Guam. Remember Guam is a HALF-BOOK: half memoirs and half recipes.
Following on the heels of her first book, Paula has included 20 recipes not published in A Taste of Guam. More excitedly, she has included complete video demonstrations for all 20 recipes. Wet your palates with boñelos dågo (yam doughnuts), boñelos kalamasa (pumpkin doughnuts), Chamorro cake, chicken ala king, empanåda (rice and chicken in a fried masa harina crust), coconut candy, kåddon pika (spicy chicken stew), shrimp kelaguen, and more!
Hold up. Travel back in time to lives well lived on this tiny Pacific island. Remember Guam is also a collection of memories that will surely warm your heart and lighten your spirit! Enjoy a good laugh or a gentle tear as you read stories about Guam from folks across the oceans and across the generations.There are stories from World War II vets or their kids, from folks who left Guam and yearn to return, from local residents, from kids of service-members who had the best of times, so much so, they returned as adults.
