RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Born and raised in Texas and couldn't miss the Mexican food more. I spent 5 years in California, at which time it traveled around the world but called Cali home. After first arriving there, I was hungry from the get go. I saw a place of interest on the taxi ride in called Weinerschnitzel. I was intrigued so the next day I ventured in. For less then 5 dollars I could get two chili cheese dogs with french fries and a coke (if you are from Texas you know that coke means soda, no matter what flavor). I flew around between Okinawa, Puerto Rico, Chicago, Alaska, Germany, Spain and the beautiful Kuwait. After the travel days, I settled down in Hawaii for 3 years. Now, I'm finally back to where I don't belong, Okinawa, and I couldn't be happier, thanks to having my beautiful family here. If it wasn't for them I don't know what I would do. Hope you enjoy the recipes. Mele Kalikimaka!!
