What does Daddy eat while he's away....















Landon asked me a few weeks ago what I eat when Momma and Grammie aren't there to cook? I thought it was a good question. So Landon, here's some examples of what I eat. The middle few pics are of baby tako (octopus) which I'll eat anytime I'm somewhere that sells it (along with a pic of my famous "octopus squirming to escape being eaten" trick). Didn't get a pic of the massive amount of salmon and tuna sushi I ate while in Newport, but that's also a favorite dish if I have a sushi chef nearby. The bottom picture is what I cook when back in Lemoore - there's a grill outside my room at the BOQ and each Sunday I'll grill up enough chicken drumsticks and sliced potatos to last me through the week. Thank goodness for modern marvels like "I can't believe it's not butter" and "salt substitute" to help it go down. So there you have it, that's what Daddy eats when I'm away from home! I've been away for 4 months now. It's gone fast since I've been traveling so much, and Skype has been a big help in keeping in touch with home. Jolene will be traveling to Reno in a couple of weeks to meet me there for the Tailhook Convention. Then, later in September I'll be flying back to Alaska for a couple weeks of leave. Meanwhile, more flying and training here in Lemoore.

EDIT: Added a pic of my after-workout snack of crackers w/ peanut butter and bannana, and another pic of some of the sushi available here in Lemoore - not as good as the sushi we made from the salmon we catch out of the nearby creek in Alaska, but better than nothing.
