Lets get PHO'd up!

one of my all time favorite meals.  PHO!  mmmmm.  vietnamese noodle soup with rice noodles, flavored bone broth (clove star anise, coriander, fennel, cardamom, ginger, onion), Thai basil, green onions, white onions, bean sprouts, lime, fish sauce (makes everything good!), hoisin, and Thai chili sauce, and i add sriracha.   sometimes a lot.  sometimes, too much.  flaming lips.  like the rad band.  i LOVE it.  warm and spicy and fresh.  perfect!  i get it with shrimp.  these are regular shrimp, but one of my favorite places in san diego made the shrimp bbq-style.  not like saucy bbq, but they marinated them in a spicy rub sort of thing and then grilled them over a fire.  they were the best i've ever had anywhere.  such a clean, feng shiu atmosphere with super speedy vietnamese men seating, bringing water, bringing apps, refilling your water, making sure everything was okay, busing tables...  hard ass workers.  and as a team.  they ran a great business. 

i could eat this until the cows come home. 

dont ever come home, cows!  be free!

i'll just come visit you.
