We are the Stuarts (formerly of Imperial) now residing in Okinawa, Japan.

This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).

Pho




Pho-Ga

This may not be a very good picture, but the light in our cement bunker is pretty poor, and the flash just washes it out. Regardless, I just HAD to share my latest cooking adventure. I LOVE Pho (pronounced Fuh). A trip to Vietnam is definitely on my list while we are here, so I can try it in its native environment. If you'd like to try it for yourself, you can head on over here.

Not being a red meat fan, I prefer Chicken Pho. But you can feel free to also try the more traditional Beef Pho, too.

This was so worth the work...even having to wipe down my entire kitchen after taking a meat cleaver to so many pieces of chicken. (It was a pretty gruesome scene.) The broth turned out so delicately flavorful and the spices and fresh herbs...oh my goodness, I need to make it again STAT!

Enjoy!

It's too bad that I am lazy and usually only make toast...

I'm sure you're living off more than toast, TF! You seem like the cooking type to me...maybe just because you do so many other cool things?
