Veggie Mania.
Basil & Mints, you know the type of leaves they have on top of Pho Soup Bowls? OMG I love this stuff. The first time I ate Pho, I remember smelling the mints, closing my eyes for a brief second and seeing myself in the rice patties in vietnam, a green mountain in the background w/ clouds rolling by. Anways, today, I went to SHUN FAT on Atlantic and bought some Basil and Mints
to add to my veggie arsenal. Things were starting to get pretty boring w/ just black pepper and garlic flavoring. So I explored my options and Sto recommended Rosemary, Thyme, Basil and Mints. SHUN FAT didn’t have rosemary and thyme so I will have to try them some other time. I am really loving adding veggies to everything I eat. I get this warm fuzzy feeling that I am doing something right for my body and the food tastes extra good. I tried Ralphs and Whole Food store on Rosemead but they only carried HELLA expensive organic types. Forget that, SHUN FAT rocks, so cheap! ballys notes: legs 45s x 3 x 3 & neck.
Thanks everyone for wishing me a happy birthday. It really made me feel good.

omg, did you know that .. bitter melon is — 3 dollars per a pound at ralphs whereas it’s about a buck a pound at most asian supermarkets? Those American stores rip you off when it comes to Asian cuisine. Oh yeah, bananas and tomatoes should be cheaper at Asian supermarkets too.
haha, i misssssss san gabriel valley! :[
i love pho man. it’s even healthy.
i don’t know if it was vietnamese or filipino or whatever b/c this white girl took me to this place which so happpend to be owned by a white dude…but i had this asian dish where you have to wrap all these fresh vegetables in this really thin rice paper thing, and you place mints on top as garnishing, then dip it into a peanut sauce…and I LOVED IT.
but that’s the only time i’ve tried mint. b/c i hate pho. yucky.

Gosh, there is so much effective material here! site 5 web. I read a lot of helpful info in this post! 3 go here. This can’t have effect in actual fact, that’s exactly what I believe. 6 8 3. This can’t actually work, I suppose like this.
