It was ungodly cold here today, at least in my opinion. Furthermore, the cold and flu have been very aggressive. For me the cold + cold & flu = we stay in a LOT. In fact, even if it was warmer and the flu wasn’t wide-spread, we would still probably stay in for meals. It is expensive to go out and twice as difficult to go out with a toddler in tow. This has never stopped hubby and me from ensuring we widen our horizons with ethnic fare. The only dishes we abstain from cooking at home are sushi — everything else is fair game in our household. To date, we’ve made pho, carnitas, tacos, spring rolls, dumplings, mole and lots more.
This weekend, I craved Pho. It is a common, peasant food often enjoyed by families at home, but making it takes time. It took about 4 hours of inactive time and about 1 hour of active prep. Not only was it absolutely delicious, it filled our home with the most aromatic scent of star anise and cinnamon.
… and now … drumroll…

Ah ah ah, we l-l-l-love this soup here!!!! Thanks for reminding, this is in my soon-to-make list!
And how familiar about sushi, this is the only dish that we’re buying out…
Do you give the kids sushi?
We buy non-raw recently, for us too… I ate those in pregnancy too.
Forgot to mention that our little guy is a big fan, but the lady just nibbles on rice occasionally. No big deal.
