last night, alan, jenny and i had dinner with sonbinh. it was definitely very fun. alan is a superb driver. maybe cuz i was tired i was very aware of how smooth the drive was. anyway. kudos to alan for driving us. we had tank noodles. and i was totally excited for jenny because she had never had pho before. so i went trying to explain all the noodles to her. although sonbinh sorta stopped me when i went into egg noodles and vermicelli, because he wanted her to get the basic PHO. so alan, sonbinh and jenny go the same thing. i, of course, got myself my grilled pork. so yummy!
i always manage to cut out jenny's eyes when i try to take a picture of us and the food. sigh.
sonbinh basically made fun of us the whole night saying we're so american. jenny learned how to say thank you in vietnamese and we watched as she said thank you to the bus boy and his eyes just popped open. it was great. we learned a lot of random things from sonbinh. like how to make limeade from the limes they give us and the ice water and adding a whole lot of sugar. it backfired on jenny when she got her dessert and it was super sweet towards the end and she was quiet for a bit. then she yelled out. "i need water!" yup yup, tiff to the rescue with her pure water. i don't remember when sonbinh was trying to say that i was super american, and i had to bring up going to dim sum two dinners ago, in which i ate everything asian-style. ahem. yeah. legit asian here. :P
earlier in the day, actually i had an amusing conversation with spruston. i should talk about it later. but now i'm making dinner (quesadilla with mushrooms, black beans, bell peppers, and red onions) and then i'll be going to the mall with greg...
