Anna Dragon Slayer

Well the weather here in Japan has been rainy, though we did manage a nice trip to the zoo and lunch at the Grand Chism Hotel. I ate too much deep fried pumkin and got a bit sick but it was nice. We got some pics but I need to change my camera settings, they are a tad out of focus.
 
Some of the holiday festivities at the navel base I'm afraid have been a wash out due to storms.
 
Anyways.......I am making great progress with the Anna Dragon Slayer video game ! It's a good 1 year behind schedule, but I have tried many platforms to launch the game and characters as well as " terrain " building. It's all very tedious and time consuming and the frustration is often !
 
Buut...in the end...rewards come to those who are persistant ! I've considered tearing down my Paranormal blog site and doing a blog site devoted to building this game and similar large scale adventure / RPG type games. Of course only those interested in game design and graphics and programming would understand much of it.
 
Enjoy the screenshots as Anna makes her way through the evil forrest en route to Akurra battling giant trolls and monsters.
 
Chapter 1 is nearly finished and terrain detailing has already begun for chapter 2.
 
Have a good 4th of July ! For us here...we are a day ahead and Misae's Curry is on the menu.
 
It's quite good....Curry is the one food that many good chefs just screw up!

Touch Down in Japan !

Wow!!!
 
Finally here !! It was a long 8 months of separation from my wife !
 
The flight was exhausting and painful. I sacrificed much to come here.
 
The new domestic terminal for United Airlines shared with ANA ( All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines ) is a really nice feature for Tokyo Narita International Airport. I enjoyed that very much !
Narita, Tokyo is as big as Chicago, Ohara Field and keeps growing !
I found Ohara to be far less friendly as usual....the security Paranoia and prices of airport vendors is a totally stupid thing......America the Beautiful ?? ( Yeah still beautiful but more like America the Greedy and moronic ! )
 
My first arrival is almost a blur. Certainly it was cold and rainy...my stomach was nearly sick and i wanted hot soup badly. We found it near Sasebo station late at night at a Chinese restaurant. They make Fabulous soup!!  Oh Yeah !!!! That was a hit for me !! I refuse All airline food....it has Never been Safe for anyone.
 
Enjoy the photos from the Around Home Album...........
 
Yeah this is a neat place.............certainly I Love it !!

PappaUshi Euro Burger

A late entry for grilled burgers....but worth noting.
 
The Pappa Ushi  Euro Burger.
 
A real sweetheart !
 
A single patty of 100% beef.
 
Cheddar and Swiss Cheese
 
Chopped red onions
 
Chopped tomatoes and fine chopped lettuce ( just a little of both )
 
Onion Bun
 
Sauce is : Ketchup and Mayo ( very simple )
 
Some Secrets :
 
1. Paint the grill with liquid smoke before you start.
 
2. Serve with chips and German Potato Salad or Deviled Egg Potato Salad
 
3. A mug or 2 of Cold Suds is Never a Bad Thing !!!
 
The Pappa Ushi Euro Burger is simple with underlying smoky grilled flavor.
 
Do grill the veggies lightly....
 
This burger is light but full of flavors !
 
P.S. Try a [ Whisper of sweet relish ! I mean a whisper ! ]

pappa Ushi 3+2

Ahh Yes !!
 
Why 3+2 ?  This burger rocks! 3 types of cheese and 2 hunks of pure 100%
 
beef......( come on girls...keep your mind clean ! )
 
The Pappa Ushi 3+2 does not use lettuce,pickles,tomato or any other condiment
 
other than 3 basic elements.
 
1. Beef...pure beef patties ( no soy meal garbage ). Sorry Ronald...take your orange
 
mop and clown suit down the road...This burger is meant for real eating!
 
2. Cheese...this burger is a cheese lovers delight....Swiss,American,and Montery Jack.
 
Sorry Velveeta lovers, but Velveeta ain't Real Cheese !! I will agree it tastes pretty good.
 
 
3. Onions..Use 1 or 2 hearty slices...Red onion for flavor Yellow for heat.
 
However, red onions after a light grilling display a nice warmth and retain
 
lots of flavor. What about white onions ? Well those are best for stewing or
 
if you are grilling out slice white onions and let them smoke on your coals.
 
This onion smoke is really good on ribs and loins !
 
 
This burger is just down to business with no whistles and bells lots of
 
"  I Luv U" factor !  Try to stay with the origins for best result.
 
If you can't find an Onion Bun, then go with poppy seed buns.
 
This jewel is a handful, but can be eaten with your dignity in tact.
 
What's next?
 
Well not sure...I'm packing stuff up for Japan.
 
I could do my Originall Pappa Ushi Burger, that has bacon and trimmings.
 
I might show how to made some really good Ramen !!
 
Don't say "Yuck" just yet...these little jewels can be done up pretty good !
