another V moment

Dakh and Emily from across the hall invited me to see "Enter the Dragon" tonight at the Parkway down the street. A Bruce Lee oldie and one I have not seen. If you are not familiar with the Parkway, here is how it works: awesome films, great beer on tap, good people, home- like atmosphere, must be 21+ to attend, get there early to reserve a couch, order your pizza etc and it will be delivered somewhere in the first 20 mins of the film. Well I was so excited, with the special live Kung Fu performances and all. Dakh and I decided to split a pitcher of beer and somehow I got suckered into drinking the entire thing. 3/4 through the movie I couldn't keep my eyes open and I really really really wanted to just watch the movie, it was extremely entertaining and funny but I was so exhausted from the day and the beer completely pacified me. Well Emily and I ended up cuddling together on the couch like little babies and all of a sudden everyone is clapping and laughing and here come the credits. Well not only did I miss the best part of the movie I also got a mad craving for pizza.... yes at the end of the movie when everything is over and the bar is closed. I hauled my ass to Lucky's and here I am waiting for my frozen pizza (because the craving is too strong and I am a weak person) And all this in light of "saving money". I kid myself. Best be going to Blockbuster soon.

what the Phở??

what would i do without you pho?
i really think that pho is the cure to every single one of my problems, especially those having to do with food. pho is like that bright light at the end of the tunnel.... its beefy noodle goodness is indescribable. i love you pho! pho and i meet about once a week, sometimes even more. i stay true to my local pho down the street, but on occasion i sneak away to the deep dark alley ways of Oakland and indulge in this gastronomical experience elsewhere. mmmm i think im in the mood for pho right now. i wake up sometimes thinking about pho and.... actually eat it for breakfast.

there is a restaurant C and I are planning a major pho appetite to called the "Pho King" we are having a lot of fun with this one....

I'm in the mood for pho king
Is your pho king good?
The pho king was amazing
Are you hungry? I hope your ready for some pho king
For pho king sakes...
What is your pho king problem?
I pho king love this restaurant


What is it about pho that is so addictive? Is it the perfect beef broth? Is it the soft flat noodles or the fresh mint? Is it the raw pieces of beef that cook in the stock as soon as I dip them in? Or maybe its the flank and brisket and all those other parts of the cow.... moooo. i gotta get my ass to Vietnam and try the real stuff.
