I was in the house and wanted to cook something before I went to the hockey game. A couple of weeks ago, Lonnise and I were in the Asian Market and I stocked up on some of the makings for Pho Soup, like they make in the Vietnamese restaurants.
I went to the supermarket and got some slices of Pork Loin from the Deli, and got home and assessed what I had.
We're looking at Pork Paste, Pho Seasoning, Black Pepper, Pho Noodles, Fried Garlic, Onion Flakes, Sliced Mushrooms and the sliced Pork.
Remember this was my first time trying this. I added a liter and a half of water to two Pho Cubes, half the bag of Noodles, some of the Spices and stuff, about 2/3 of the Mushrooms and all of the Pork. It came out like this.
I either didn't use enough water or I used too much of the Noodles, but it came out thick. I made it spicy, so it tasted ok, but it just wasn't 'real' Pho. But good enough for my first time at home.
Then we went to the Hockey game. The Panthers won, and I posed with a plastic mascot.
After the game, we went to The Noodle House for Real Pho. It wasn't very hard to twist Lonnise's arm. I had the Pho with Pork Broth and Double Pork; she had the same thing, except with Shrimp and Pork.
It was better than the one I made. They had all the ingredients, AND they knew what they were doing. But it won't stop me from trying again.
During the NFL game (the last one of the regular season -- how did that happen so quickly?), I had some Frozen Grapes.
