Great Weekend, so far...

It's been a pretty eventful weekend so far! Friday Kyle's Uncle Christopher dropped off Tu, a Vietnamese exchange student staying with him, at our house. She will be staying till Easter while they are in Florida. Unfortunately Lilian and Kyle have been sick while she's been here but we've still managed to have some fun.




Friday night, Lilian, Tu and I went to Hudson's restaurant to have a going away dinner for my oldest friend Terra and both our families were there. Kyle could not go because he was still feeling to sick. We got a lot of good food there and had a great time.





Saturday, Tu and I started cooking early because we planned to make Vietnamese food for dinner. We started by preparing the stuffing for the nem or egg rolls and charring and boiling down ginger and onions for the pho, which is a beef noodle soup. Then Terra came over followed by Karl, a friend of mine who has stayed in Vietnam for about a year and wanted to meet Tu. We had a great time and the food turned out GREAT!

Unfortunately we forgot to take pictures of the food itself, but both Karl and Tu thought it was very close to the real things and we all did a pretty good job for getting the ingredients we could find here in town! Lilian was a bit crabby during the whole process, but at the end of everything she enjoyed eating and wearing her noodles.



Let's hope this warm weather comes our way soon...this frigid weather is getting old!
