I made it to Nordy's today...

but the only walking I did was from the parking lot to the store, LOL. Dao and I went to lunch. We had vietnamese food. I was going to take a picture to share with you all but I forgot my camera, I know, shocking! I won't let that happen again. But I don't want to let you down so here is a pic of a vermicelli dish (bun) which is probably my favorite dish. I usually order this one time and the pho (beef soup) the next. When my sister and I go out to eat we usually split a soup and each order the vermicelli, LOL.I prefer the pork and shrimp and I usually get it without the peanuts. A side of fish sauce is poured over it and then you mix it all together and it's yummie for the tummy. A word of warning though, bring mints, LOL. Fish sauce is yummie while you're eating but once you're done, you may want to pop some gum in your mouth. Another plus about Vietnamese food is, it's inexpensive. This dish averages anywhere between $5 and $7 dollars.

The girls who came to my house in March had the joy of eating some home made eggrolls. Vietnamese egg rolls are not the same as the chinese ones you're used to eating. My sister and I can't even stomach those. Our eggrolls are filled with pork and shrimp, not cabbage! Whenever we had company my mom would walk right into the kitchen and whip up some eggrolls the way someone else would fix them a drink, LOL. As you know, I don't do that, I offer drinks. As I did in March, my sister actually made the egg rolls we ate and Su did the cooking but hey, I bought the supplies, well, I gave my sis the money to buy it with (or did I?). I do know how to make egg rolls and maybe one day I will make them, if the motivation is strong enough. Vietnamese restaurants are becoming more popular so if you get a chance to order some, you should. They're usually served with fish sauce (of course) and lettuce and cucumber that you wrap it in. We didn't do this when we were kids but the coolness of the lettuce balances out the hotness (not spicy) of the fresh out of the frying pan egg roll. So if you get a chance check out your local Vietnamese restaurant. Nes' ordered me some food from her local V restaurant when I was there, turns out it was Indonesian. So maybe when she comes to the states I'll take her for some real Vietnamese!
