My vegetarian Pho experience...

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:39:04 -0800

I made the Vietnamese very well known dish called Pho, which is a sort of noodle soup, and it turned out pretty nice. Better than I thought. BTW this post might be repetitive for many following me on Facebook [FB] as I have uploaded the pictures there but wanted to give out my recipe to you so you can make it at home as well and enjoy different cuisine.

So it was a long weekend and at my place I try to show off my culinary skills during holidays. Also, I try my best to cook every Sunday morning but for the reason or the other it doesn’t happen… Anyways, coming back to the point, it is President’s Day long weekend. I decided to make Spaghetti on Saturday, February 13, 2010 and it turned out awesome. First time in my cooking I have used red wine and I was excited. I was not planning to use it but then I thought, what the heck, so I did use it and was happy that I made the right decision. Everyone liked it at home and that was the beginning of my inner evil cook to invite me to prepare something new. I was craving Pho for couple of days and tried to see if I can get any Vegetarian Pho, but that was not possible because all the restaurants I knew, were, using chicken broth and not the vegetable broth. So I decided to create my own version of Vegetarian Pho (Noodle Soup).

There are many variations available but I followed the following and I guess it was the closest match I could have got in first shot. It was almost 80% plus match with the originals I have had before. It is very simple and fast to cook. It took me hour and half to shop for groceries and less than hour to cook (the way I wanted to test).

Recipe:
Vegetarian Pho, thanks to Vegetarian Times. I followed the basics from Vegetarian Times but added some of my own variations to it while preparing it.

According to Vegetarian Times recipe, Nutritional Information, for Pho is as follows:

Per SERVING:
Calories               290
Protein                16g
Total Fat            5.5g
Saturated Fat      1.0g
Carbs               42.0g
Choelsterol          0mg
Sodium            578mg
Fiber                    3g
Sugar        5g

Pretty healthy stuff (I am not a nutritionist but I am sure many things are low enough to eat it every other week) and last but not the least, some photos of my culinary creation! ;-)

Hope you have enjoyed reading and good luck with making one to reveal your inner culinary art.

Enjoy!

INSTALLING HUSBAND!!!

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 17:01:34 -0800

I came across following pretty funny conversation and thought of sharing with you all. Enjoy! (by Anonymous)

A woman writes to the IT Technical support…..

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as
Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NEWS 5.0, MONEY 3.0 and CRICKET 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?

Signed,
_______ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _______

REPLY

DEAR Madam,

First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed, Husband1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5..

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Silence 2.5 or Beer 6.1.
Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.
You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance.

Good Luck Madam!

Great example of Passion and Inspiration (by carlitoson2). Thanks to my friend Jigar Pancholi to share this video. Great uplifting video. After watching this, I do agree with carlitoson2 “Nothing should ever stop you from doing what you love. To think that I sometimes complain about not being able to do certain things.” Hat’s off to the male dancer!
