LOL Random 4

Last Saturday, the family and I was invited to a wonderful dinner prepared by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.



Dining on the floor Vietnamese Style is the way to go!


Beef wrapped in grape/pepper(?)leaves | Bo Nuong La Nho/La Lot


Lemongrass Chicken Stirfry | Ga Xao Xa


Braised Catfish in a Caramel Sauce | Ca Kho To (this dish is showing up a lot in the last few posts huh?)


Wouldn't be complete without a Vegetable Platter | Rau Song

Sour Fish Soup | Canh Chua Ca also on the menu - not pictured.


On Sunday, the munchkins were over. They got a little bored after watching T.V., youtubing disney videos, and hearing my short answers to their questions. To give us something to do, I gathered up some paper, crayons, and colored pencils so we could draw. They decided we should make a book.



The first few pages of our book. The kid's imagination gave me a pretty good laugh. Kel's M&M flower and triangular shaped leafs. Lyn's blue gray sun and flowers made of star and heart shaped petals. Kids are so creative and imaginative - I love it! Can't wait to add more pages and see what else they've got to throw down paper. Being a kid again is nice.


Yesterday, little bro turned a whopping 18 years old! Happy Birthday young one!


Birthday Dinner: Hot Pot with the family and cousins


Hot Pot with Butter | Chien Bo


Hot Pot with Soup | Nhung Nuoc


MiGnon Cake from Produce Palace. One of our family's favorite.


Watching:

Amazing race: Not so great season so far - but rooting for my cowboys!
Undercover Boss: Great show. Very touching.
Stars Falling From the Sky: The "it" Kdrama right now. The first 5 episode had me in tears. Not draggy. Great cast. Good storyline. And super cute! Started it a week ago, now I'm all caught up for the last two episodes to air next week.
