"This is a great cake like cookie, It is always requested on christmas or wedding parties, its a special recipe given to me by one young man in 1988 whose live was cut short by an auto accident and I still have the original copy. I hope you'll enjoy it."

Hi all I am from Guam an Island in the Pacific Ocean about 8 hours from Hawaii(by plane). I work for the Hospital at Respiratory Care as an Administrative Assistant/EKGs. I love cooking during my days off, especially Chamorro and filipino dishes. I am a dessert freak. My favorite cook book is called ISAn Fina Mangnge which consist of all our island favorite feasta food.
