What the Pho?


A couple weeks ago, I had a very long day @ the ol' job. The last thing I could possibly think about was cooking dinner. Eating out sounded so wonderfully delicious...and easy. So...off to Taste of Thai the hubs and I went. (I pretty much have to merely mention the word Thai...and he's already backing out the car).

This little piece of street art was on a building in the restaurant's parking lot. Idk why...but I couldn't stop laughing at it...just thought it was super clever!

Pho...the tastiest soup you will ever eat. Ever. How to pronounce it, though...is another story entirely. Since I'm never really sure how to say it...I make a big deal of saying it. Then...if it's wrong...it seems like I meant to do it. Ya follow??

And...on the way home...this menagerie. Not only were 2 full-grown adults cruising on this bike...but so was their Pommerenian. No worries...there were so many straps on his cage...he wasn't moving for days.

So...w/ a belly full of Pho (now tell me...how did you say it in your head??)...we ventured home.

Being Brave

Recently...I've tried something I never thought I would...sushi. Just the thought of it used to make me shudder w/ disgust. Then...the more I heard people talking about how delightful it is...I decided, it couldn't be all that bad.

So...w/ Deal Chicken certificate in hand...I headed off to Hoshi Sushi in the Drake neighborhood to try it out for myself.

Now...I will say...I haven't braved anything raw yet (unless the imitation crab they use counts). ;) The rolls I've tried have all been tempura battered...and delicious! From the spicy sauces to the yummy veggies...this sushi's for me. I can even handle the beautiful, shiny red roe on top of the Bulldog roll.

I don't know if I'll ever get adventurous enough to try sashimi (the actual raw fish)...or to venture into the squid, etc. categories...but the sushi I've tried so far has delighted my tastebuds. Enough so that I've purchased 3 more Groupon deals for it.

(Have I mentioned that I love online deals??)
