Thread: Pho/Thai

I am addicted to Pho. I can eat this everyday for the rest of my life, and die happy.

A couple months ago I made Pho Bo which is the soup with beef. You slice raw filet thin and pour the hot broth over it to cook. You then add cooked rice noodles, bean sprouts and top with mint, cilantro, basil and hoison sauce.

It was very good. Lots of flavor but does take some time to make and is not cheap.

The soup bones themselves was $15.00. The meat was another $20.00.

When cooking the bones you add a cheese cloth sack filled with spices like cinamon and star anise.

I still have some of the broth frozen and plan on making more in a couple weeks.

Yeah, Vietnamese restaurants you get a lot of soup for not much dough.

I went to a Vietnamese Restaurant a couple months ago in Boston and the waiter was young - looked about 19.

I thought of my friend's dad who served in the Vietnam War and wondered if he would have flashbacks if he ate there because the waiter looked like VC.

yeah, I don't know. He might. I ate at Pho. a large bowl of it is pretty much a meal isn't it? and you through in your own herbs, mung beans, etc.

I'm not sure gnome likes pho/thai food as much as she says.

I don't think she even knows what a drunken noodle is.

I've heard of drunken noodles, but if it's some slang term, then I don't know what you're talking about.

i love you long time Joe.

I might make some drunken noodles soon because I have a big container of fish sauce that I need to use and there is fish sauce in drunken noodles.

BTW, do you know what fish sauce smells like?

Yes. If done right, it doesn't taste fishy.

Is the K silent?

Like, when I go to a Thai restaurant do I say I want some Tom Ka? Or Tom ha?

I believe you do pronounce the k usually I've heard it said as tom "ka".

I used to have Tonkas. not sure if they are as " Tonka Tough" as they used to be. Used to be able to beat the shit out of those toys and they'd continue to perform. great toys. quality.

I was in sears last night and noticed a sign for toughskins. My mom used to buy those for me, all the way through hs. I got beat up alot, but my toughskins always made it through the ass whoopings. I was not aware that they were still a brandname. parents,... any stories on them? Reveiews?
