international delight

i could tell you right now, my top foods are as follows, in no particular order...

  • mussels and frites(BELGIUM)
  • udon soup(JAPAN)
  • sushi(JAPAN)
  • thom ka gai soup(THAILAND)
  • pho(VIETNAM) 
i had the pleasure of spending some quality food time with scotty's(mani's boyfriend) parents this past week. they were down in florida during my sister's visit, and i got invited along to enjoy the tastings by maria. she came over to my moms on mothers day, went out on the porch and starting frying up homemade eggrolls, grilling up some korean bbq bulgogi, and brought over 2 big jars of marinated kimchee. after scarfing down 2 of the hot as hell eggrolls, and taking seconds of the bulgogi and kimchee.... i realized i needed to learn how to cook these different cuisines. 
i was lucky enough to have been invited over to have some pho with mani and scotty... not once, but twice! 

let. me. tell. you. 

zing! amazing. this woman loves to feed you. there's just nothing better to me than a big bowl of soup filled with rice noodles and meat topped with fresh herbs, scallions, bean sprouts, and siracha. maria invited me to come up to visit her so she can teach me her skills. :) i am so excited!
